Although I have now been inactive on this wiki for quite some time, I have served as a caretaker administrator of sorts on this wiki for a number of years. I actually agree with Raylan13's recent actions, as they are necessary to re-focus the content of this wiki, bringing it in-line with the new (old) Classic WoW product before release. This is now an active Blizzard project, so it is necessary that the wiki be prepared for an expected influx of users who are interested in the subject, and that it be up to the standards of the present-day game.

Much of the information you are referring to that was added in recent years, was re-wording of historical content already present in the WoW Wiki database. A lot of it was re-created from either player's memories of years past, or from their experiences in the unofficial third-party "vanilla" servers that were eventually shut down due to copyright infringement. In recent years, content on this wiki was heavily influenced by those third-party servers, but now that the wiki has been redesigned, it is important that it only reflects the official content, and because so much of it was influenced by unofficial servers, the easiest way to ensure that is by looking back to WoW Wiki's history. Any information you feel is missing can easily be added by any user who feels like it. We will now have a more stable and trustworthy source for this information which is actually verifiable (the new WoW Classic server).
