There is already an article on Racism. It is not clear what you are trying to do that is different. The article you submitted was entitled Racism in Wikipedia but it did not cover that topic. Deb (talk) 18:42, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Obviously, you haven't completely read the title to my article. The title is: 'Racism In Wikipedia'. The article is not about racism in general. It is about racism and discrimination that wiki users have experienced. For example, a user adds info on an article to correct the author of that article which is based on race, ethnicity, etc. But, the author deletes that info and doesn't provide any reasons why he committed such an action. However, the user feels his info was correct. But because of the bias and prejudice of the author, the user has no recourse and no voice in the matter. The user therefore feels bias and prejudiced that info about his race/ethnicity was not reflected on the article. There are many upon many users who have felt discriminated and I am now in contact with many who will provide sources to my article. I will be completing the article and publishing it to wiki soon.

Of course I read the title, hence my comment above. You did not write about that subject. You just wrote about racism. Be very careful if you intend to make any accusation of racism against a living person, whether or not they are a wikipedian. If you do not include independent published sources, any such material will be deleted. Deb (talk) 18:59, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

PS. There is no such word as "prejudism". Deb (talk) 19:01, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I understand what you're saying. And believe me, I will not refer directly to a living person of racism or discriminatory statements that that person may or may not have made, even if they're a wiki person. But, I will refer indirectly without mentioning names (i.e., "in article so-and-so, such and such comment was made...." etc.). Again, no names will be mentioned at all.

Articles for deletion nomination of Castles in Europe

I have nominated Castles in Europe, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Castles in Europe. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Apbiologyrocks (talk) 03:19, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

The article, 'Castles', may exist, but the author is stubborn about allowing users to add accurate info and is bias against certain regions of Europe. The author seems discriminatory against certain info. I find this not in keeping with wiki's universal policy. I had no choice but to create a modified article called, 'Eurpoean Castles' with accurate info. For example, a particular castle in Spain is called, 'King Charles V's Castle'. The old and unused name of the castle is, 'Alcázar of Segovia'. Everyone in Spain has called this castle by, 'King Charles V's Castle', for 500 years, not 'Alcazar of Segovia'. The author refuses to accept this fact, though I provided solid sources supporting this historic truth. The author is biased against Spanish historical inferences for reasons I have yet to understand. He is not flexible. If he can remove his biasness, and allow me to add my info backed by sources, then I will not create a new article. However, if the author continues to be stubborn and discriminatory about the matter, I will have no choice but to create an accurate version. Fair is fair.

There is no single author for an article. If you disagree with the presentation of material in the article, discuss the matter at its talk page—which, based on your edit history, you have made no effort to do. —C.Fred (talk) 05:00, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Also, the AfD discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Castles in Europe is now closed. If you disagree with the closing, contact the closing administrator directly at his talk page.C.Fred (talk) 05:02, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

What do you mean there's no single author for the article? In the past, my info has been deleted by ONE person who claimed to be the author of the article. This doesn't make sense. I think you mistake author for administrator. I believe this means one and the same. Also, I did make much effort in discussing with the administrator or author about this matter but I used another name. He just doesn't listen at all. He's stubborn and discriminatory. Can you contact him about this so that he doesn't thwart my efforts in contributing to that article? I'd appreciate it alot.

Also, when you say I should contact the author or administrator of the article, do you mean that I should address these issues on the 'discussion' link found on the article?

Block notice

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for edit warring on the castle article and making personal attacks such as this and this. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make constructive contributions. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.

Well, it's about time that CJ DUB got blocked. But he should be blocked for a longer period of time, in my opinion. A 24 hour block on this anti-european, sexless american isn't enough. He keeps coming back, like he's obsessed with me. The guy is really weird! But, at least he's been blocked. Maybe this will teach him respect. No wonder people hate americans.
