Removed from Signpost spamlist

Hi! I'm Ral315, editor-in-chief of the Wikipedia Signpost. It appears that you have not edited in at least a few months. To avoid spamming your talk page any further, should you be on leave, your name has been removed from the Signpost spamlist. If you wish to continue receiving the Signpost on your talk page, please leave a note on my talk page to that effect, and I will restore your name, and keep you on the list indefinitely.

Help with Gerald Guterman?

Dear Chaz, I'm in need of a bit of help, and saw your name on the list of helpers. I seem to be butting heads with another user on the above article. This user, NetHistoryBuff5, seems to have only one interest on WP, and his only interest is making a sweet and empty biography of

WP:COI to me. He persistently deletes commentary from the NYTimes, Bruno Frey, etc. He won't use the Talk page, won't use his user page, won't do anything other than revert (we're waaaaay past 3RR). It's not fair, but I can't seem to reason with him. I thought you could have a look? Many thanks, Smilo Don (talk) 03:17, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply

People ganging up to disrupt an article

Hi,

I found you at Wikipedia:Editor assistance. If you can spare a few minutes of your time helping out at Indo-Aryan loanwords in Tamil, I would be thankful.

I am developing an article on words borrowed by Tamil from Indo-Aryan languages. I am citing a standard authoritative lexicon from which I find the words that are borrowed before including them at Indo-Aryan loanwords in Tamil. There are a few people who seem to be intent in damaging the article by adding "cite" tags, "disputed" and "dubious" tags for the article and threatening to delete it within 24 hours.

Could you please help?

Thanks. ­ Kris (talk) 18:38, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
