  Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. A contribution you made to Alan Wilson (historian) appears to carry a non-neutral point of view, and your edit may have been changed or reverted to correct the problem. Please remember to observe our core policies. Thank you. This includes removal of sourced material and requests for citations. What you did was not removing vandalism. Please read WP:NPOV. If you want to helpw ith the article, find citations where requested. The article already has statements like 'successful career' which also need sources, perhaps you can help with those too.

  Please do not delete content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Alan Wilson (historian), without explaining the valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.

Hi, PT. Since you seem to be new to Wikipedia, you may not be aware that the approach you are taking to the "Alan Wilson" article is sure to fail. If you persist in reverting changes without making any attempt at discussion, the only result will be that you get blocked or banned and the article stays the way it is. If your objective goes beyond wasting an hour or so of other people's time, I suggest that you try a different approach.Looie496 (talk) 16:59, 17 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
