Your name has been mentioned at the Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard

Hello Louay55. You are welcome to join the discussion and add your own comments there. It is a particular concern that you seem to have removed well-sourced critical information from an article that appears to be about yourself. Our biographical articles should reasonably reflect the persons' actual reputation, as learned from reliable sources. 03:59, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

I have restored the reference to the page after providing the larger context. The question of whether the insertion of this reference is fair is still standing. the label is supposed to be used by porsecutors in the court of law. The US Court of Appeal of the Fifth Circuit ruled, Untied States vs. Briggs (1975) that "no legitimate governmental interest is served by an official public smear of an individual when that individual has not been provided a forum in which to vindicate his rights." The Fifth Circuit introduced in 1981 more measures to protection the integrity of individuals who have no recourse to challenge their designation as unindicted co-conspirator by ordering that court filings and other records that carry their names be sealed and struck from the record.
