Since you have seen my user page, then you should know that your hubris is of no value to me. Also, perhaps you would care to explain, at least to yourself, why is it that wiki is so in need of editing all that I have made contributions to, while most of what I see from you is eliminations and lack of additions. How is it that your "advanced degree in geology" has missed so much or made so little actual contribution? 
If other wiki articles are not considered sources, then by logic and default, neither you or wiki are of any value! You need to reconsider your logic.
Respect is a two way street, sort o say, You need to first see past your contradictions before you can earn it. 
Every day 'is' a new day.
