27/12/09 A interesting one way discussion took place with a rather arrogant editor, regarding his speedy deletion of an entry I created. His 'attitude' is extremely distasteful and heavy handed. He did not advise me or give me the opportunity to re write the entry which under the rules he chooses to enforce I was entitled to exercise. His attitude is syptomatic of why wikipedia is loosing contributors. A great shame as wiki appeared to me to be a great tool and introduced me to HTML and a few other things I have since made use of!Zippomk2 (talk) Zippomk2 (talk) 07:53, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for using Wikipedia. You're part of this story: please make a donation today. and btw the retentive, arrogant editors in here still reserve the right to delete anything and everything you do. WHY? because they think have the intellectual high ground and they don't, actually they just spends too much time believing they are really something when they aren't :) Jimmy Wales Founder, Wikipedia

To illustrate the point further I have attached a clip from You Tube and a brief explanation for those people out there who are allegedly of a higher intellect.

In this scene Mr Arnold Schwarznegger (John Matrix) plays the part of wiki contributors. Mr Bill Duke (Cooke) plays the part of a Wiki Editor. The scene speaks for its self..enjoy!

Sadly ABDUCTIVE old chap you chum bearcan wiped the entry completely without giving me the option to re-write, which LEGALLY I was entitled to use. As I wasn't given the option to re-write you are in breach of your own rules sport! I can't re-create or revert and the stupidty if his speedy deletion without advising also points to his own self inflated ego, because the band concerned are good friends of mine and my family. Juvenile and bombastic editors are killing wiki bearcan is one such jumped up, intellectual F*kw17 . Zippomk2 (talk) 08:39, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

You know, all you have to do is ask, and I'll gladly provide you with a NON-copyrighted sandboxed article. "Ask, and you shall receive." Your article had copyvio problems. That will get you, me and the Foundation sued. I am a lawyer, and I've seen this before. Bearian (talk) 04:51, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

P.S. We must delete such items speedily, even during the Christian holidays. Bearian (talk) 04:52, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, chap, but we do not mess around with copyvios. Bearian (talk) 02:31, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

You MUST send an email allowing us to use copyrighted material, as noted above. No exceptions. Bearian (talk) 02:32, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

IF its so obvious that I shall ask and recieve then why is this GEM of information NOT INCLUDED in the Instruction to Speedy Delete?? Surely you haven't overlooked this component?? your're in breach of your own rules, denial of natural justice perhaps refesh your memory once again before enforcing it again! idiot! You suffocate and don;t inform and you wonder why people get upset! Zippomk2 (talk) 12:57, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
