Hi Acroterion,
Could you please lift the creation protection currently on LeafyIsHere – a page which was salted back in October 2015 – as to allow one to edit it? kind regards, — MelbourneStar☆ talk 13:27, 8 October 2016 (UTC)
You should remove the article "September 11 attacks" or rename it as "September 11 attacks (conspiracy theory)" rather than remove the talk page contributions. The sources are not capable to support the claims that are made there. The information from 2000 shows in advance how it is done and where it is done. So the current article classifies as a conspiracy theory. Dancing Mickey Mouse ( talk) 18:42, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
Why did you delete my Online Components page? I was only doing what my competitors did. Online Components is a Company, and if my competitors are allowed to have basically the same page I created (which I even used their wiki code as a starting off point and modified it for ours) then theres should be taken down too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zjak.techy ( talk • contribs) 15:36, 14 October 2016 (UTC)
Please revert your speedy deletion of Nightwing (TV Series). The page clearly did not meet the standard for WP:G2, nor was the speedy template in place long enough for anyone, including my self or the article's creator to contest it. MordeKyle ( talk) 20:46, 14 October 2016 (UTC)
"Please review Wikipedia's general guidelines for notability and the guidelines for notability of organizations to see if the topic mentioned above qualifies for inclusion. Sourcing to the organization itself is not sufficient. Generally WIkipedia looks for significant coverage in multiple independent media outlets that are not purely local in nature. Additionally, please review WP:COI since it appears that you may have a conflict of interest in this matter. If you wish I will move the content to draft space or a sandbox in your userspace if you think you can satisfy the notability guidelines. Acroterion (talk) 14:05, 15 October 2016 (UTC)" 1. Move the content I spent over an hour drafting for publication to draft/sandbox 2. Now the page has been deleted, even though COI is not proved (only assumed as judged by your use of 'appears') will my time be reimbursed by you/Wikipedia? 3. The decision to delete so quickly after my first response is concerning. 4. The article was also being edited and was not finished. It was published as there may be people who will find the work interesting. You have put a stop to that sourcing of interest by assuming COI and denying based on sources. The source used is legitimate. Other sources will be once full edit is in place. So, put it back please or reimburse me for time spent. GrahamMinenor-Matheson ( talk) 14:31, 15 October 2016 (UTC)

I'm confused about your message re wiki-vandalism. I corrected a factual error in the page Geology of Victoria and advised the person who had earlier incorrectly undid my edit why I had reinstated the edit I had made.

Hello, hope you don't mind me contacting you. I noticed you were the most recent admin to delete DataSunrise and I had a question that is related to that article. This user seems to only have one objective and that is to promote their two websites by adding external links to articles and as you've seen, created that DataSunrise article twice. The edits in question are:
Edits that add datasunrise links: | [1] | [2] | [3] | [4] | [5] | [6] | [7] |
Edits adding protectmydb links: | [8] | [9] | [10] |
These are the extent of this users actions on the wiki, no other actions of improving articles, no helpful edits, etc. I figure if this user is blocked they'll just create a new user and continue where they left off. My question is, at what point can a domain name get added to the abuse filter so it can no longer be included in an article? (i.e. what is referenced in this message) Offnfopt (talk) 01:29, 22 October 2016 (UTC)
Dear Acroterion, I am sure you mean well, so I'll make the effort to make my case. The current article is funny. It starts out very bad by being unfactual, relating opinions of mainstream representatives about truthers, instead of discussing the factual evidence like the truthers with relevant professional qualifications prefer to do). The disqualification of the competency of professional truthers is very unfortunate and much more deserving of your stringent editing. It is funny as I started to say, because after the deplorable introduction, it goes on to be a pretty solid, wide and deep, representation of what is out there in trutherland. So your rationale of cutting out my contribution being that it must be written from a neutral point of view is wrong. The current text is grevious and heavily spinning, because that text magnifies the more fringy, unreasonable and at first unbelievable points held in trutherland, which is an obvious tactic to marginalize the truthers. I decided to present the strongest case that truthers make which is almost totally undisputed in the truther community and therefore much more representative of what truthers stand for. I am stating facts, Sir, not spin. I may not sound disinterested, but stating facts (the facts about what the majority of truthers agree about stated as a fact, is a fact). The current text is like one truther-basher explaining to a would-be truther-basher why (s)he would indeed be totally justified in bashing truthers. It does not speak to truthers at all! Think about this! Please remove your deletion or at least state your minimum amendment to do so. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BenHeideveld ( talk • contribs) 19:07, 23 October 2016 (UTC)

One uses the term ' American measurement' simply to differentiate between you and the rest of the world. The article cited metres as the measurement. Since meter as defined by Wikipedia is the american spelling of the word then what is wrong in correcting it when applied to anyone who uses and understands it? Why is it right to force an American form of English (based in illiteracy) on everyone else in the world Goodness if a person can't even revert appropriate spelling without small minded supremacists espousing their personal righteousness then I'm not interested in further contribution.

Hi Acroterion.
A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.
It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.
If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins). MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 13:46, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

I understand your concern but I did not edit the material on the Dorothy Kilgallen page to promote the book but only to provide access tp fresh research that has never been exposed before through primary sources, eyewitnesses such as her two hairdressers, one who found her body, a woman was one of the last people to see her alive, and an attorney who comments on her reliability as a respected journalist. The websites provided indicate my credibility for the book based on this being my 25th and my intensive, three year investigation of Kilgallen's life and times and her death. This has nothing to do with a conspiracy but hard facts pointing to her having been killed for writing a book about the JFK assassination. I believe it is a worthwhile book adding to the historical account of Kilgallen's life and important for people to understand who she was and how she died. Therefore, I feel that your comments are unfortunate and would suggest you read the new book before commenting further.

Thank you Acroterion, for your help at WP:ANEW. I have self-reverted the edit. After closer inspection, you are right -- it doesn't appear to be obvious vandalism. Since their edits seemed to not have added sub-sections, we're in a different language, and we're unsorced, it seemed to be obvious vandalism at a first glance. Sorry, I should have been more careful reviewing this edit, as the context of the article allowed for this kind of behavior. FWIW, I have also tidied up their edit by dividing the examples that they gave into sub-sections, having it make a bit more sense. Regards. 71.222.33.212 ( talk) 00:07, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

Afternoon Acroterion, per something that popped up on my feed there seems to be an insistence on using the word "false" regarding any claims relating to Pizzagate, as if putting it in wikipedias voice is somehow a solution for the problem of unfounded allegations related to BLP. So rather than actually citing reputable sources to demonstrate the opinion of reliable sources who have investigated the claims, we are instead declaring without citation that it is false. I am not aware of any other conspiracy theory situation where we evidently describe them as 'false' outright, or declare things to be 'unfounded' without also citing such a source. The situation in question is available here where you will be able to see recent edits by NorthBySouth which seem to think putting "false" and "unfounded" in front of stuff absolves us of any BLP risk. I am of the opinion that it doesn't change the BLP risk if there is any (we're still repeating the information), and instead creates a non-neutral POV. I have a few main points of contention for this:
Alaska (Listeni/əˈlæskə/) is a U.S. statebecause it is a fact. Similarly, when faced with entirely-fabricated and viciously-defamatory claims about living people which have been debunked and rejected by the most reliable of sources, we can and must simply say that the claims are false, because that, too is a fact. (And I'll end it here.) NorthBySouthBaranof ( talk) 21:57, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

Hi Acroterion – I think I've found a gem that, in the right hands, can make featured article status. I came by your name when you recently deleted Selfiefeet, a G7 proposal of mine. I've been busy reviewing new articles – some garbage, some with prospects, but mostly what I do is format refs and other minor stuff – I don't have much patience with actually scripting articles.
So I came upon Five Blues Lake National Park, in a very sorry state; copy by someone whose first language aint English, raw refs but excellent sources, zero graphics but I was able to pull 4 good images from one source, all of which are Fair Use, and as I worked through the stuff I began to realise I was working on a jewel in the heart of Belize hardwood rainforest. The subject is way above my paygrade, requiring immense input by more experienced editors than myself.
So I checked you out and saw what you did with Biscayne National Park – I went through the history and you clearly enjoyed the journey – so I thought you might like to take up Five Blues Lake National Park or, at the very least, you know the right people who would water at the mouth for the opportunity. The few existing refs are gold; they lead to endless others, and the subject matter will doubtless appeal to some you have met when you were helping bring Biscayne National Park to excellence.
Think about it – a 10 acre National Park maintained by a tiny indigenous population – gotta be worth a look. Mark Dask 05:23, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
Hello Acroterion.
I am an administrator of the Wikipedia Lusofona and I am here to ask you for a help with the user Andre.levy.al ( talk · contribs). I am creating a summary of the user's behavior so that, if necessary, I require infinite blocking in lusophony.
I realized by another user, that Andre has a similar behavior with the Lusophone Wikipedia. This one has been making questionable edits and then it shoots offensive words, summarizing a coarse behavior and without any respect to the other users. Requiring the blocking of users just by being reversed by these and calling them vandals and trolls.
In a small review on the user's talk page I see the similarity in behavior. Funny that this had only 3 issues in Lusophone up to 15 days ago. In a short time it has been giving problems. So if possible it would be very helpful to summarize you by reporting user behavior so that I can add in the evidence in the blocking request. Thanks for listening.

Hi Acroterion,
I notice that you added the discretionary sanctions tag to Talk:Pizzagate (conspiracy theory).

who also edits not signed in as Ip 24.74.165.146 and 2600:1004:B02D:B1DE:E9AB:1CB8:AE66:548D. There are several issues involving this editor who created an article Lorcan Morris. The subject of the article seems to fail WP:NGOLF and had been up at AFD because an administrator userfied it.
1- Based on this
[16], there is strong reason to believe User Golffan1 is Lorcan Morris. A selfie photo taken of Morris which Golffan1 claims to be his own work.
2- Golffan or the IP keeps adding a mention of Lorcan Morris to the article
Boiling Springs, North Carolina. In his last edit there
[17] he violated WP:NPA.
Additions to Notable people sections need either an article or references to back up their notability. The edits to Boiling Springs fail on both.

Hi there. I have seen your constructive work adding information to NRHP articles. It looks like you are using the individual lat/long parameters that have traditionally been used in infoboxes. Those parameters are being replaced with the |coordinates=
parameter, which can use the {{
Coord}} template to pass coordinates to the infobox as well as any location maps that are used in the article. For more information about this simplification of the infobox templates, you can start at the (relatively technical) page
Wikipedia:Coordinates in infoboxes.
At some point in the near future, the individual lat/long parameters will be removed from infobox templates. Let me know if you have any questions. – Jonesey95 ( talk) 22:54, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
Your 6-month page protection of the page Duck family (Disney) expired yesterday at 16:29, and the IP returned today with three edits between 3:05 and 3:13 (less than 11 hours after the page protection expired) as if he had been expecting this day the whole time.

Kindly reinstate my comments on the September 11 Talk page. I was not 'soapboxing', I was not having a general discussion, and I was not expressing my own personal views. If someone claims that 1 + 1 = 5, then when I respond directly to that claim by saying that 1 + 1 = 2, and showing the reasoning which proves that fact, that is not 'soapboxing', it is not a general discussion, and it is not expressing a personal view. In the case of the September 11 Talk page, I responded directly to two separate, unsupported claims made by an anonymous user who wanted to include them on the September 11 Wiki page. The first part of my response proves that the twin towers did not fall at free fall speed, contrary to the claim I was directly responding to. That is a fact; it is not a personal view, it is not a general discussion, and it is not 'soapboxing'. My usage of the September 11 Talk page was perfectly legitimate and you have no reason, and no right, to remove my comments. Wikipedia does not belong to you, nor does the September 11 Talk page. By removing my comments, whilst 'allowing' other comments which actually are examples of 'soapboxing' and personal views - not to mention blanket statements which you and others, particularly David J Johnson, have no right whatsoever to make - you are introducing a bias which does not belong on Wikipedia, and potentially discouraging new editors from becoming involved in the project. Take, for example, your own response to the very same comments I was responding to:
That is clearly an example of 'soapboxing' and is certainly not a statement of facts. It expresses your opinion; nothing more and nothing less. In response to the same anonymous user, I stated demonstrable facts - not personal views - and my response is clearly more legitimate than yours. For the sake of consistency, either reinstate my comments, or remove every comment that is an example of 'soapboxing' and the expression of personal views; which is every comment in the 'Terrorism' section attributed to both you and David J Johnson.

Hi Acroterion
Thanks for looking over a draft article of mine, user JDKJDKJDK at 13:58 today.
I admit freely that the article is autobiography, and the reasons for that are that I am a notable academic (two professorships, both in the Russell Group universities (like the Ivy League), but unlikely to have someone write an article about me.
For example, I am the 42nd most cited computer scientist in the UK [20], and that list includes Turing.
I also freely admit that I tried to have my article published far too early. I had not added all inline references (or any!), and apologize for this.
I would now like to add those, please, but can't see my article anywhere, and did not keep a copy myself (assuming I could look at all the versions).
Please would you let me know whether you can reinstate my article in my sandbox please?
Many thanks for your kind consideration.

You should remove the article "September 11 attacks" or rename it as "September 11 attacks (conspiracy theory)" rather than remove the talk page contributions. The sources are not capable to support the claims that are made there. The information from 2000 shows in advance how it is done and where it is done. So the current article classifies as a conspiracy theory. Dancing Mickey Mouse ( talk) 18:42, 9 October 2016 (UTC)

It was published as there may be people who will find the work interesting. You have put a stop to that sourcing of interest by assuming COI and denying based on sources.

Hello, hope you don't mind me contacting you. I noticed you were the most recent admin to delete DataSunrise and I had a question that is related to that article. This user seems to only have one objective and that is to promote their two websites by adding external links to articles and as you've seen, created that DataSunrise article twice. The edits in question are:
Edits that add datasunrise links: | [1] | [2] | [3] | [4] | [5] | [6] | [7] |
Edits adding protectmydb links: | [8] | [9] | [10] |
These are the extent of this users actions on the wiki, no other actions of improving articles, no helpful edits, etc. I figure if this user is blocked they'll just create a new user and continue where they left off. My question is, at what point can a domain name get added to the abuse filter so it can no longer be included in an article? (i.e. what is referenced in this message) Offnfopt (talk) 01:29, 22 October 2016 (UTC)
Dear Acroterion, I am sure you mean well, so I'll make the effort to make my case. The current article is funny. It starts out very bad by being unfactual, relating opinions of mainstream representatives about truthers, instead of discussing the factual evidence like the truthers with relevant professional qualifications prefer to do). The disqualification of the competency of professional truthers is very unfortunate and much more deserving of your stringent editing. It is funny as I started to say, because after the deplorable introduction, it goes on to be a pretty solid, wide and deep, representation of what is out there in trutherland. So your rationale of cutting out my contribution being that it must be written from a neutral point of view is wrong. The current text is grevious and heavily spinning, because that text magnifies the more fringy, unreasonable and at first unbelievable points held in trutherland, which is an obvious tactic to marginalize the truthers. I decided to present the strongest case that truthers make which is almost totally undisputed in the truther community and therefore much more representative of what truthers stand for. I am stating facts, Sir, not spin. I may not sound disinterested, but stating facts (the facts about what the majority of truthers agree about stated as a fact, is a fact). The current text is like one truther-basher explaining to a would-be truther-basher why (s)he would indeed be totally justified in bashing truthers. It does not speak to truthers at all! Think about this! Please remove your deletion or at least state your minimum amendment to do so. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BenHeideveld ( talk • contribs) 19:07, 23 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi Acroterion.
A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.
It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.
If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins). MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 13:46, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

I understand your concern but I did not edit the material on the Dorothy Kilgallen page to promote the book but only to provide access tp fresh research that has never been exposed before through primary sources, eyewitnesses such as her two hairdressers, one who found her body, a woman was one of the last people to see her alive, and an attorney who comments on her reliability as a respected journalist. The websites provided indicate my credibility for the book based on this being my 25th and my intensive, three year investigation of Kilgallen's life and times and her death. This has nothing to do with a conspiracy but hard facts pointing to her having been killed for writing a book about the JFK assassination. I believe it is a worthwhile book adding to the historical account of Kilgallen's life and important for people to understand who she was and how she died. Therefore, I feel that your comments are unfortunate and would suggest you read the new book before commenting further.

Thank you Acroterion, for your help at WP:ANEW. I have self-reverted the edit. After closer inspection, you are right -- it doesn't appear to be obvious vandalism. Since their edits seemed to not have added sub-sections, we're in a different language, and we're unsorced, it seemed to be obvious vandalism at a first glance. Sorry, I should have been more careful reviewing this edit, as the context of the article allowed for this kind of behavior.

Afternoon Acroterion, per something that popped up on my feed there seems to be an insistence on using the word "false" regarding any claims relating to Pizzagate, as if putting it in wikipedias voice is somehow a solution for the problem of unfounded allegations related to BLP. So rather than actually citing reputable sources to demonstrate the opinion of reliable sources who have investigated the claims, we are instead declaring without citation that it is false. I am not aware of any other conspiracy theory situation where we evidently describe them as 'false' outright, or declare things to be 'unfounded' without also citing such a source. The situation in question is available here where you will be able to see recent edits by NorthBySouth which seem to think putting "false" and "unfounded" in front of stuff absolves us of any BLP risk. I am of the opinion that it doesn't change the BLP risk if there is any (we're still repeating the information), and instead creates a non-neutral POV. I have a few main points of contention for this:
Alaska (Listeni/əˈlæskə/) is a U.S. statebecause it is a fact. Similarly, when faced with entirely-fabricated and viciously-defamatory claims about living people which have been debunked and rejected by the most reliable of sources, we can and must simply say that the claims are false, because that, too is a fact. (And I'll end it here.) NorthBySouthBaranof ( talk) 21:57, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
I'm composing a potentially lengthy discussion at User:Acroterion/PG. Please bear with me, I'm using the occasion to try to sort out some ideas that I've been considering for some time. Few of them are new, but at least it might help me to answer questions of this kind more clearly in the future. Acroterion (talk) 02:49, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

Hi Acroterion – I think I've found a gem that, in the right hands, can make featured article status. I came by your name when you recently deleted Selfiefeet, a G7 proposal of mine. I've been busy reviewing new articles – some garbage, some with prospects, but mostly what I do is format refs and other minor stuff – I don't have much patience with actually scripting articles.
So I came upon Five Blues Lake National Park, in a very sorry state; copy by someone whose first language aint English, raw refs but excellent sources, zero graphics but I was able to pull 4 good images from one source, all of which are Fair Use, and as I worked through the stuff I began to realise I was working on a jewel in the heart of Belize hardwood rainforest. The subject is way above my paygrade, requiring immense input by more experienced editors than myself.
So I checked you out and saw what you did with Biscayne National Park – I went through the history and you clearly enjoyed the journey – so I thought you might like to take up Five Blues Lake National Park or, at the very least, you know the right people who would water at the mouth for the opportunity. The few existing refs are gold; they lead to endless others, and the subject matter will doubtless appeal to some you have met when you were helping bring Biscayne National Park to excellence.
Think about it – a 10 acre National Park maintained by a tiny indigenous population – gotta be worth a look. Mark Dask 05:23, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
Hello Acroterion.
I am an administrator of the Wikipedia Lusofona and I am here to ask you for a help with the user Andre.levy.al ( talk · contribs). I am creating a summary of the user's behavior so that, if necessary, I require infinite blocking in lusophony.
I realized by another user, that Andre has a similar behavior with the Lusophone Wikipedia. This one has been making questionable edits and then it shoots offensive words, summarizing a coarse behavior and without any respect to the other users. Requiring the blocking of users just by being reversed by these and calling them vandals and trolls.
In a small review on the user's talk page I see the similarity in behavior. Funny that this had only 3 issues in Lusophone up to 15 days ago. In a short time it has been giving problems. So if possible it would be very helpful to summarize you by reporting user behavior so that I can add in the evidence in the blocking request. Thanks for listening.

Hi Acroterion,
I notice that you added the discretionary sanctions tag to Talk:Pizzagate (conspiracy theory). I don't think it falls under anything listed at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions/Log, but maybe I'm wrong. Is the idea that this falls under Gamergate, broadly construed? That seems a little too broad for me.
Yaris678 ( talk) 18:42, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

who also edits not signed in as Ip 24.74.165.146 and 2600:1004:B02D:B1DE:E9AB:1CB8:AE66:548D. There are several issues involving this editor who created an article Lorcan Morris. The subject of the article seems to fail WP:NGOLF and had been up at AFD because an administrator userfied it.
1- Based on this
[16], there is strong reason to believe User Golffan1 is Lorcan Morris. A selfie photo taken of Morris which Golffan1 claims to be his own work.
2- Golffan or the IP keeps adding a mention of Lorcan Morris to the article
Boiling Springs, North Carolina. In his last edit there
[17] he violated WP:NPA.
Additions to Notable people sections need either an article or references to back up their notability. The edits to Boiling Springs fail on both.
Maybe you can have a word with this editor. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 14:29, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
Hi there. I have seen your constructive work adding information to NRHP articles. It looks like you are using the individual lat/long parameters that have traditionally been used in infoboxes. Those parameters are being replaced with the |coordinates=
parameter, which can use the {{
Coord}} template to pass coordinates to the infobox as well as any location maps that are used in the article. For more information about this simplification of the infobox templates, you can start at the (relatively technical) page
Wikipedia:Coordinates in infoboxes.
At some point in the near future, the individual lat/long parameters will be removed from infobox templates. Let me know if you have any questions. – Jonesey95 ( talk) 22:54, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
Your 6-month page protection of the page Duck family (Disney) expired yesterday at 16:29, and the IP returned today with three edits between 3:05 and 3:13 (less than 11 hours after the page protection expired) as if he had been expecting this day the whole time. It was his usual POV/original research edits (copied and pasted from his previous edits), with no discussion in the talk page and no edit summary. I reverted it, but I hope this won't start another edit war. -- Newblackwhite ( talk) 08:12, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
Kindly reinstate my comments on the September 11 Talk page. I was not 'soapboxing', I was not having a general discussion, and I was not expressing my own personal views. If someone claims that 1 + 1 = 5, then when I respond directly to that claim by saying that 1 + 1 = 2, and showing the reasoning which proves that fact, that is not 'soapboxing', it is not a general discussion, and it is not expressing a personal view. In the case of the September 11 Talk page, I responded directly to two separate, unsupported claims made by an anonymous user who wanted to include them on the September 11 Wiki page. The first part of my response proves that the twin towers did not fall at free fall speed, contrary to the claim I was directly responding to. That is a fact; it is not a personal view, it is not a general discussion, and it is not 'soapboxing'. My usage of the September 11 Talk page was perfectly legitimate and you have no reason, and no right, to remove my comments. Wikipedia does not belong to you, nor does the September 11 Talk page. By removing my comments, whilst 'allowing' other comments which actually are examples of 'soapboxing' and personal views - not to mention blanket statements which you and others, particularly David J Johnson, have no right whatsoever to make - you are introducing a bias which does not belong on Wikipedia, and potentially discouraging new editors from becoming involved in the project. Take, for example, your own response to the very same comments I was responding to:
That is clearly an example of 'soapboxing' and is certainly not a statement of facts. It expresses your opinion; nothing more and nothing less. In response to the same anonymous user, I stated demonstrable facts - not personal views - and my response is clearly more legitimate than yours. For the sake of consistency, either reinstate my comments, or remove every comment that is an example of 'soapboxing' and the expression of personal views; which is every comment in the 'Terrorism' section attributed to both you and David J Johnson.

Hi Acroterion
Thanks for looking over a draft article of mine, user JDKJDKJDK at 13:58 today.
I admit freely that the article is autobiography, and the reasons for that are that I am a notable academic (two professorships, both in the Russell Group universities (like the Ivy League), but unlikely to have someone write an article about me.
For example, I am the 42nd most cited computer scientist in the UK [20], and that list includes Turing.
I also freely admit that I tried to have my article published far too early. I had not added all inline references (or any!), and apologize for this.
I would now like to add those, please, but can't see my article anywhere, and did not keep a copy myself (assuming I could look at all the versions).
Please would you let me know whether you can reinstate my article in my sandbox please?
Many thanks for your kind consideration.
