Your recent efforts come pretty close to Wikipedia's definition of vandalism. And if you want to get that translation to stick in Wikipedia, you going to need some outside reviews to testify to its value, since self-published sources do not meet Wikipedia's criteria for reliable sources.

Thank you for your note on my talk page; however, you cannot use a self-published book as a source for material you are adding to a Wikipedia article. I have no German, and no opinion regarding the Ford translation, but it has never been reviewed in the academic press, or discussed by historians. Thus it, and any other opinions you may have are inappropriate material for inclusion in Wikipedia. You have a clear conflict of interest and will, if you continue in this course of action in an aggressive manner, end up being banned from editing. I'm sure there are many other articles you could edit, and by doing so, contribute to Wikipedia. Please consider a change in your focus. FredTalk01:50, 14 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing.
