Thread:User talk:CodeCat/Latvian divi/reply (9)

Because I believe that referring anything to one reconstruction, and allowing no deviation from it, to go against the spirit of a wiki. A wiki is supposed to be editable by anyone, and new content should be able to be inserted by anyone. In the past you've reverted edits by me to Latvian etymologies because they don't appear in/agree with the given source. The same thing would happen with your suggestion and I don't want that. I do not "own" the content or "own" the responsibility for the reconstruction any more than anyone else, and people should be free to change things when they can. It is public knowledge, and what matters is that people can understand what is happening and why it's there. People can't change my user space so that effectively prevents some of the public content on Wiktionary from being edited by the public.
