::::''"So, in the case of RW, it is neither required nor prohibited to link to or quote secondary sources regarding the service outage."'' It may be against the "etiquette policy" to delete sources or quotes, if they are added. I didn't delete any unsourced information; they deleted the sources or quotes, when they rewrote the quotes as paraphrases.

:::::By the way, I looked back at it just now and I'd say their version was better overall because it was much more condensed without the quoting. I didn't want to make the claims myself. It is difficult for me to sacrifice "accuracy" (quoting) for brevity and "readability". But the "conflict" was when Proxima restored my and her edits, then protected the page, presumably enforcing the "[[WikiIndex:editing etiquette|no deleting policy]]". That happened when I wasn't around for a while.
