Wikipedia is an encyclopedia
editPlease note that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia where we collect what third parties have written about the topic, not a free webhost for the subject to boast about their accomplishments. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 21:40, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
- again, we are an encyclopedia, not a free webhost. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 18:25, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
- You have asked me to stop, but your request has no basis as stated at the top of every edit box Work submitted to Wikipedia can be edited, used, and redistributed—by anyone—subject to certain terms and conditions. - the terms and conditions are that the articles reflect an encyclopedic version of the subject as covered by third party sources. And so as long as the content, no matter how long you have worked on it, is not encyclopedic in nature and supported by Wikipedia content policies, it will be (drastically) changed. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 18:05, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
