Piaggio Aero

(JMPR2010 (talk) 18:44, 1 November 2010 (UTC)) Why do you keep deleting my entries on Piaggio Aero? The information I am using has been written in my own words, I have checked the Piaggio Aero website, and it does not include nearly half of the information I have attempted to post. {{helpme}}[reply]

(JMPR2010 (talk) 22:38, 1 November 2010 (UTC)) Thank you for your explaination and speedy response. I was unaware that my entries were coming from another source. I have just a few more questions. If you do not mind me asking, do you work for Wikipedia and if not, who exactly are you?[reply]

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

I'm sorry, but is there a specific question here about editing Wikipedia? If I've misunderstood, feel free to post again. By the way, everyone who edits or who responds to a Helpme template is a volunteer editor just trying to help, not an employee. Shearonink (talk) 23:49, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

(JMPR2010 (talk) 18:19, 2 November 2010 (UTC)) I understand that Wikipedia posts and edits are open to all users, however, I find it suspicious that my entries keep getting removed (very quickly if I might add) by four of the same users. I just want to know what reasons, they would have to remove my posts? I understand Wikipedia's copyright rules, and am learning to work within their guidelines. I doubt that these users have some emotional or monitary investment in the maintaining the integrity of the Wikipedia rules, which is why I posed the question. {{helpme}}[reply]

Users have watchlists (you have one though you may not have used it yet). Typically, users who edit article add those article to their watchlists (their is a feature in user preference to make it default that any page you edit is automatically added), though user add pages for many other reasons, such as because they are interested in the subject, or it is a high vandalism page and they want to help out, and so on. Once watchlisted, every edit to that article appears on those person's watchlists. I'm not sure what specific removals you are talking about but I bet you you'll find that the users reverting you made edits to the articles where you were reverted long before you edited those articles. Of course, if you have shown yourself to to make problematical edits (and I am not saying anything about you in particular here, I haven't looked at any of your edits), a person may explore your editing history to see what you've done any make other reversions.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 18:37, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

To complete Fuhghettaboutit's explaination: Piaggio Aero is in my watchlist because it was already a target of copyvios during September (though it is possible that they were not real copyvios... it's a long story). The other user who reverted you is Bilcat, who is (was?) a very active user in the field of aviation, so it is likely his watchlist contained a lot of articles on this topic. To conclude, no one pays us to revert copyright violations, we just feel it is useful for whoever reads Wikipedia. Regards, Gengis Gat (talk) 10:50, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for August 15

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Dir (princely state), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Swat and Khel (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
