== your undo of my edit to the topic heavy water ==


You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the ] template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.
I strongly do not agree with your undo of my edit that it is off point. Before my edit, and now as you have left it with your undo, the paragraph reads that there is no evidence that heavy water reactors have been used to make weapons grade fissile material. My edit had removed that mistake and fallacy until you undid it. My edit comes primarily from the Misplaced Pages topic itself describing "Clark Laboratories" outside Ottawa. In that topic, the Misplaced Pages reads that Clark used CANDU reactors (which are heavy water reactors) and they made 250kg of fissile material for weapons. My edit also contained information on President Jimmy Carter because the Misplaced Pages topic on Jimmy Carter specifically talks about his work cleaning up Clark Laboratories. My edit provides information that is useful to the public to remove a mistake that perpetuates the untruth that civilian reactors are not linked to weapons production. Your undo is a typical obfuscation and denial of the truth. --] (]) 06:39, 10 October 2008 (UTC)


'''Please note:''' This is an automatic notification by a ]. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --] (]) 01:14, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
:There is no Misplaced Pages entry for "Clark Laboratories." Please provide a link to whatever article contains this assertion. If you are referring to the "]," I have seen no evidence supporting your specific allegation that fissile materials were produced in a "civilian heavy water power reactor" in Canada of any kind (such power reactors are unsuited for the production of such materials) at Chalk River or anywhere else for that matter. There have been a number of reactors at Chalk River, research reactors which do not qualify as "civilian heavy water power reactors" which would have been used to produce such materials. Further, there has never been a CANDU reactor at Chalk River, the first reactor of that design was at the nearby ] site, nearly 30km away from Chalk River. ] (]) 07:26, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Mike, you apparently did not read the summary of my edits. I explained that my edits removed the inaccurate and biased legal history in the article and replaced it with the correct legal history as quoted by the state Supreme Court. I quoted the court verbatim, so your criticism of my edits is misdirected. You should read the decision, which I cited in my edits. The quotations are 100% accurate. If you choose not to restore my edits, you will perpetuate an inaccurate account of California's legal history on marriage and compromise the value of Misplaced Pages articles as truthful and factual. ] <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding ] comment was added at 04:33, 25 October 2008 (UTC).</span><!--Template:Undated--> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:"Accuracy" of the quotations is not the issue. The narrative of the history, which you are deleting, with which you are apparently the sole editor to take offense, is the issue. Please discuss the deletions you are proposing on ] before attempting to make further edits. Deletion of material without discussion or explanation (note that I said "explanation," where I would expect to see a point by point summary, understandable to other editors, of how the current version is a "biased and inaccurate recitation," and not a simple repetition of your unsupported assertion that the current version reflects bias and must be deleted) may result in you being blocked. ] (]) 04:43, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Policy and process aside, I'll note again my opinion on the issue. The user clearly isn't causing any harm, and is in fact, improving content by adding encyclopedic references to our articles. Of course ] doesn't explicitly prohibit editing subjects that you are related to, but it does caution editors doing so to take extra care as to not violate other policies. I strongly feel that the user is not disrupting the project in the least. I think it is unfortunate that we are wanting to block a user, who is acting as a benefit to some articles by adding references, simply because of ].

==regarding monavie=
The article on Coca-Cola includes informations on its competition (namely Pepsi) and there hasn't been any tirant to forbid these informations ex cathedra. I haven't mentioned any specific product though. I only extended an already present thought on "more cost-effective conventional antioxidant-rich foods, such as blueberries". I don't see a reason why blueberries deserve to be mentioned but blackcurrants or bilberries don't(!). I gave more arguments on why new informations should be included in a discussion panel. If you had bothered to reply it instead of making hints and threatening, this discussion wouldn't have got "personal" in the first place. Seems like you have fun in overusing power.
