My concern is that an entire article on Billy the Kid was removed for no valid reason That article not only contained my contributions but the contributions of others It contained the most detailed bibliography on Billy the Kid offered yet on Wikepedia It also included  detailed citations There is no valid excuse for removing that article and substituting the mess that is there now Blocking me for real or imagined infractions is one thing Destroying the article that I and others had worked long and hard on  and replacing it with an absolute piece of junk  is quite another You have done extensive work on Wikipedias Wyatt Earp article How would you feel if all of your efforts were deleted What was done to my last version of the Billy Kid article is nothing less than criminal  and that crime is against Wikipedia and all of those unselfish people who have tried to make it a reliable source The joke is I considered myself finished with the Billy the Kid article when it was suddenly removed Now if you and the others at Wikipedia sincerely value your expertise Wikipedia needs knowledgeable authors like you as you say You will restore my last version of the article Here is my good faith offer If Wikipedia will restore that article at the point where I last left it I promise that I will not go near it again I look forward to the work that your expert editors can do to correct the encyclopedic tone and encourage that effort I also look forward to submissions and improvements to this article by other Wikipedians Please note that I have claimed to own the Billy the Kid article All I was trying to do was to provide the most accurate template on the subject of Billy the Kid that others could work from The quickest way to do this is restore the article as it was when it was moved I have no intention of trying to get it back to that point by correcting the absolute mess that is up there right now I trust you and all the forthright editors at Wikipedia to correct the encyclopedic tone that you consider lacking I would also appreciate the removal of those tags that have suddenly appeared at the top of articles I contributed to on Bat Masterson and Luke Short They suddenly appeared on the Masterson and Short articles at the exact same time my last version of Billy the Kid It is not that I should be treated differently because of my credentials in the Wild West History field  the fact is that no one should have to be treated that way This is childish behavior from those who dont have the best interest of Wikipedia involved I wont bother asking to be unblocked  which of course I should be  since I have to leave the clowns that put that block in place something they can brag about  as in the vein of Well I guess we showed him Now the time has come to show everyone else what Wikipedia really stands for The place to start is with your good faith restoration of my Billy the Kid article exactly as it was when I last worked on it Unless I am specifically asked for clarification on some historical point on the Kidby you and others involved with Wikipedia I have absolutely no intention of doing anything further on the subject of Billy the Kid My best wishes to you and all of those who labor so hard at making Wikipedia great Happy holidays to you all  you already know what I want for Christmas as far as Wikipedia is concerned
