In response to your "how on earth is that U5 or G11?" message on User:Neal - Rare Ltd, the page should fit under U5 for " blatant misuse of Wikipedia as a web host" as it consists of nothing that is closely related to "Wikipedia's goals" and is literally a very short blog about the user, detailing their job and a link to where they work. It also fits under G11 because the user seems to be advertising Rare Ltd., their username matching the content on that page and the information on the page appears to simply be advertising themselves and the company they work for.

Dear Reviewers,
Proprioceptive Writing is a legitimate intellectual and psychological method of endeavor, and of exploration.

Hello Ritchie333,
I don't know Wikipedia procedures well, yet, but you have been helpful in the past, so I hope I can ask you about something.
This is my husband's page: /info/en/?search=Joseph_F._Ware_Jr. He is remarkable in that 1. He was in charge of flight test engineering at the Skunkworks, Air Force Ones... 2. He, with me, co-founded the Ware Lab at Virginia Tech, and 3. Though he was a conservative icon, and his sphere were also conservative, he married me, a transsexual, SRS in 1981. He got with me in 1989, lived together since 1993, married me in 1995...married me 17 times, each year on our anniversary until his death in 2012.
People in our sphere have always tried to hide this, even caused pain to us trying to drive me away.
I just learned today that someone removed the 2nd paragraph in the Retirement section of his page /info/en/?search=Joseph_F._Ware_Jr. which stated that I am transsexual.
This is true, and it is very important that a man of his conservative nature, a Christian Elder, in the 1990s would marry me, a transsexual, and the person who removed the paragraph said it was almost slanderous to say—as if I am someone of a nature who a man like Joe should not marry. I wouldn't be surprised if the remover was someone in his sphere who is still trying to shut it up.
But I've learned in life there is nothing wrong with me and that it's wrong of people to assume there is or should be. I've been trying for years, now, to own myself and our love. I've shared it to all friends, organizations I'm in, in my book, at Virginia Tech (where his lab is), all over, because it is BEAUTIFUL. He loved me. A man like that; he loved me, married me, stayed with me until the end in spite of prejudice that tried to hide the fact.
SIR: I am not sure how to handle this, but saying Joe married a transsexual is not any slander—it's true and is a beautiful testament to his loving nature, non-judgmental, non-prejudiced, nature.
QUESTION: What can I do to prevent that paragraph being removed again?
Thank you
Jenna Ware, Hathalm Mrs. Joseph F. Ware, Jr. Co-founder of the Ware Lab at Virginia Tech Transsexual

Hello Ritchie333,
I don't know Wikipedia procedures well, yet, but you have been helpful in the past, so I hope I can ask you about something.
This is my husband's page: /info/en/?search=Joseph_F._Ware_Jr. He is remarkable in that 1. He was in charge of flight test engineering at the Skunkworks, Air Force Ones... 2. He, with me, co-founded the Ware Lab at Virginia Tech, and 3. Though he was a conservative icon, and his sphere were also conservative, he married me, a transsexual, SRS in 1981. He got with me in 1989, lived together since 1993, married me in 1995...married me 17 times, each year on our anniversary until his death in 2012.
People in our sphere have always tried to hide this, even caused pain to us trying to drive me away.
I just learned today that someone removed the 2nd paragraph in the Retirement section of his page /info/en/?search=Joseph_F._Ware_Jr. which stated that I am transsexual.
This is true, and it is very important that a man of his conservative nature, a Christian Elder, in the 1990s would marry me, a transsexual, and the person who removed the paragraph said it was almost slanderous to say—as if I am someone of a nature who a man like Joe should not marry. I wouldn't be surprised if the remover was someone in his sphere who is still trying to shut it up.
But I've learned in life there is nothing wrong with me and that it's wrong of people to assume there is or should be. I've been trying for years, now, to own myself and our love. I've shared it to all friends, organizations I'm in, in my book, at Virginia Tech (where his lab is), all over, because it is BEAUTIFUL. He loved me. A man like that; he loved me, married me, stayed with me until the end in spite of prejudice that tried to hide the fact.
SIR: I am not sure how to handle this, but saying Joe married a transsexual is not any slander—it's true and is a beautiful testament to his loving nature, non-judgmental, non-prejudiced, nature.
QUESTION: What can I do to prevent that paragraph being removed again?
Thank you
