Ian Roberts (engineer) has been proposed for deletion. An editor felt this person might not be notable enough for an article. Please review Wikipedia:Notability (people) for the relevant guidelines. If you can improve the article to address these concerns, please do so.
If no one objects to the deletion within five days by removing the "prod" template, the article may be deleted without further discussion. If you remove the prod template, the article will not be deleted, but if an editor is still not satisfied that it meets Wikipedia guidelines, it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Hi, I have removed your recent edit to Steam engine. This is a fairly extraordinary claim, so it needs to be properly attributed. If you have a reliable source to show this claim, please feel free to add the edit back to the article along with a citation. Thanks for understanding, Gwernol 01:37, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits, such as those you made to User:Gwernol, are considered vandalism and immediately reverted. If you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the work of others. Thank you.

Hey, how can you call valid information about Polzunov's engine as "vandalizing"??? How DARE you, being an ADMINISTRATOR, deny a proven historical fact about existance of Polzunov's steam engine? Wikipedia is not YOUR property, it's an international source of infromation. Sea diver 02:04, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
Wait, Administrator, you've also REMOVED my *source* from the "External Links" unit of the article. I mean my internet-source about Polzunov and his inventions. From your actions, I see only intolerance concerning to contributions of other members, added to YOUR article. You created an article about STEAM ENGINES, you said. So what? Does it mean that nobody can improve it??? As for RELIABLE sources : even in Russian Wiki there is an article about I. Polzunov and his invention, backed by various sources. All my contributions are based on articles of various PRINTED Encyclopaedias. If you want to see Wiki as a source of half-true concerning to various inventions, made by foreign inventors, good for you. If you think, that ONLY British and Scottish inventors were creating steam engines, be happy with that. Indeed, there are many other web-sites where I can add valid information. As an ADMINISTRATOR, you can check all my contributions and remove them all. I thought, that general WIKI's policy was not based on double-standards. It was my mistake.

Well, I've just read it
WP:A): English-language sources should be used whenever possible, because this is the English Wikipedia. Sources in other languages are acceptable if no English equivalents have been found. In particulary, my source, backing Polzunov's invention, was written in Russian, just because I did not find its English analogue yet.
Despite that, an added sentence about Polzunov's steam engine as well, as Russian-written source were immediately removed. So, I did not break any Rule or User Policy Guide of this site. And this is not paranoia, just a clear visible example of double-standards.
Second, you said that your own objection was "lack of my proper source".
You have to agree, that any work of any edition/contribution to article takes a time. So, I did not finish my contributing to article, when the first sentence of my contribution was already removed.

Can you provide any references for the claim of a 1940's soviet OTH radar? Given that any OTH system requires several pieces of technology that didn't exist until the 1950s, and that the "Fan Hand" name appears in none of my radar references, I find the claim suspect.

Hello, Sea diver, and thanks for contributing to Wikipedia!
I wanted to let you know that some editors are discussing at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Black Book of Arda whether the article The Black Book of Arda should be in Wikipedia. I encourage you to comment there if you think the article should be kept in the encyclopedia.
The deletion discussion doesn't mean you did something wrong. In fact, other editors may have useful suggestions on how you can continue editing and improving The Black Book of Arda, which I encourage you to do. If you have any questions, feel free to ask at the Help Desk.
Thanks again for your contributions! St Anselm ( talk) 03:58, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
