Unnecessary deletions and no source for claim
Legitimate changes were reversed at 19:09, 17 March 2010. One issue is that no source is provided supporting the claim that "The current ownership group has published the Police Gazette on a regular basis since 1977."
The other change unnecessarily deleted concerns the conflict in trademark ownership. The website www.policegazette.us also claims ownership of the trademark, as can be seen here [1].
First of all, your changes are not legitimate. The source was appropriately listed and referenced properly. Your sources are all from one single solitary source, namely a website that is totally questionable. Your references appear unsuitable according to Wikipedia policies and procedures which are "Self-published sources (online and paper). Anyone can create a website or pay to have a book published, then claim to be an expert in a certain field. For that reason self-published media, whether books, newsletters, personal websites, open wikis, blogs, Internet forum postings, tweets, etc., are largely not acceptable." Just because a website claims to have a trademark is just that--only a claim and nothing more. The single source you provide is self-promotional and a self-proclamation in that it all stems from a self-published source. Even if you omitted the print edition of the Police Gazette, others precede policegazette.us and have a prior claim to the name Police Gazette, including policegazette.com which has been on the Internet since 1998 which surpasses policegazette.us by 11 years so such a trademark claim is arguable and highly disputable.
