"

I have repeatedly attempted to communicate with Wikipedia with a simple request.

Virtually all attempts have been blocked. I am not appealing for arbitration.

My contributions were deemed to be ""original research"", the accusation was made that I had never given a valid citation to support them. I repeatedly posted the citation, even going so far as to quote the text. This was rejected by an editor repeatedly as being without merit despite my requests that said editor at least check the citation. Every time the only reply of the editor was that I had given NO citation. I have no problem if the Wikipedia would rather accept a charge that a citation was never given even if the citation - in fact the total quotation of the source material, as used in the citation - was submitted three times.

This is the judgement of Wikipedia. My request is very simple. As I stand accused of ""original research"" for repeating in toto the source material (a short telegram) which was likewise published in toto in what was by every standard a legitimate source for the Wikipedia. And as I stand accused of repeated - and admittedly passionate - pleadings for the editor to check the citation, and stand accused for doing so, then all I want is to terminate my account and removed those contributions to the Wikipedia I have made.

If my scholarship is not worthy of the Wikipedia then why would you want to keep it? 

If my defense of my scholarship by portraying the activities of a person who refused it, despite the fact that it was printed in toto in a legitimate source, as ""original scholarship"" as ""obstreperous,"" then all I can say is that my application of the word is within it's dictionary definition.

I am not asking that the block on editing be removed. I am not asking for some ""vindication.'I am asking for no consequence to anyone. I am simply asking the Wikipedia to carryout what it must if my work is without merit because I have never cited any valid references for my edits.

If my work is worthless, without merit and ""original research,"" then the Wikipedia by it's own standards MUST remove it.

If the Wikipedia will not do this then what can I do but try to enforce the actions and stated standards of Wikipedia by taking you to court.

I would rather not see that.

Have a nice one!
