::If I may, i'm gonna chime in here, This is what you want to do to become a permanent editor on wikipedia, 1. Don't do what you did to get banned, 2. {{Special:Createaccount}} I'd recommend this but its not required if you want to be a permanent editor (Unless your IP changes or if its shared) and 3. Look for what you enjoy editing in and edit there but make sure to provide a reliable source to most of what you put here on wikipedia, and 4. I'd recommend signing your posts by using this but 4 times over, or clicking the button towards the bottom of the editing page, thats pretty much all you need to know about becoming a permanent editor.

Hi Gogo, your difinition of describing my page Nathan Sapala Werep as "inappropriate pages" does not seem matured. I did not just create for pleasure. I have wasted my time and effort in creating that page. I even explained why it should not be deleted. You seen to be arrogent and hostile. I suppose, lets understand people and work to help people.

Just deleting something that someone has spend his time creating is doing INJUSTICE. With that I wish to ask if you could please undelete the pageI created and put it back.

Hope you would understand.

It has increasingly studied activity for potential anti-anxiolytic properties that derive from its ability, systemically, to induce muscle relaxation of varying intensity, resulting from its observed agonism of the mammalian ], activation of which leads to an inhibitory ] in neurons following ] ion influx. Despite potentially deleterious effects, recent pharmacological research has suggested that the biological activities of this compound may offer opportunities for developing treatments related to anxiety, cancer, and other conditions, with ongoing research including attempts to identify safer derivatives and analogs to make use of the compound's beneficial effects.<ref name = LiuYuEtal13>{{cite journal | authors = Liu M; Huang HH; Yang J; Su YP; Lin HW; Lin LQ; Liao WJ & Yu CX | year=2013| title = The Active Alkaloids of Gelsemium elegans Benth. are Potent Anxiolytics | journal = Psychopharmacology (Berl) | volume = 225 | issue = 4; February | pages = 839-851 | doi = 10.1007/s00213-012-2867-x | url = https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23052566 | access-date = February 19, 2017 }}</ref>

As noted in recent review, koumine is found in, and can be isolated from, the subtropical to tropical flowering plant genus '']'', family ], which as of 2014 included five species, where ''G. elegans'' Benth is native to China and East Asia, and ''G. sempervirens'' Ait., the type species, is native to the Americas.<ref name = ZhangWang14r>{{cite journal | authors = Zhang, Jing-Yang & Wang, Yong X. | year=2014| title = Gelsemium Analgesia and the Spinal Glycine Receptor/Allopregnanolone Pathway | journal = Fitoterapia | volume = 100 | issue = C; November | pages = 35-43 | doi = 10.1016/j.fitote.2014.11.002 | url = https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25447163 | access-date = February 18, 2017 }}</ref> As these authors note:{{quote|Approximately 120 alkaloids have been isolated and identified from Gelsemium, with the predominant indole alkaloids including gelsemine, koumine…. Gelsemine is the principal active alkaloid in G. sempervirens Ait., and koumine and gelsemine are the most and second-most dominant alkaloids in G. elegans Benth. Gelsemium extract and its active alkaloids serve a variety of biological functions, including neurobiological, immunosuppressive and antitumor effects, and have traditionally been used to treat pain, neuralgia, anxiety, insomnia, asthma, respiratory ailments and cancers… In contrast to morphine, when administered intrathecally and systemically, koumine, gelsemine and gelsenicine have marked antinociception in inflammatory, neuropathic and bone cancer pains without inducing antinociceptive tolerance. Gelsemium and its active alkaloids may produce antinociception by activating the spinal α3 glycine/allopregnanolone pathway… support the clinical use of Gelsemium and suggest that its active alkaloids may be developed to treat intractable and other types of pain, preferably after chemical modification.<ref name = ZhangWang14r/>}}

Koumine's biosynthesis, as of 1998, is thought to proceed from ] (isovincoside), the common precursor for essentially all monoterpenoid indole alkaloids—itself deriving directly from ] and ]-derived ].<ref name=Seigler98/>{{rp|p. 629}} From strictosidine, the biosynthesis proceeds through four intermediates—including ] (]), ], ], and ],<ref name=Seigler98/>{{rp|p. 629}} the final biosynthetic step thereafter involving anhydrovobasindiol oxidation and rearrangement.<ref name=Seigler98/>{{rp|p. 629}}<ref name = LiuLu88/>{{rp|p. 132ff}} The related alkaloids ] and ] also derive from this pathway ] (]-type), and gelsemicine from gelsemine, via aromatic oxidation and O-methylation].<ref name=Seigler98/>{{rp|p. 629}}<ref name = LiuLu88/>{{rp|p. 132ff}}
<br><br>
{{reflist|2}}
<u>This alone is surely enough material for a stub, and an infobox and other information can be quickly added—''there are 36 more citations that I have only begun to explore, search "Koumine " at .'' '''''Can you reinstate the article, using this content, so that I can begin supporting the article? In doing so, can you place the original text somewhere (in Talk, or hidden in the main article space), so I can see it?''''' You are better positioned, historically and technically, to make this change. I am a subject matter expert, much more than a technical expert at WP.</u> Note, 4 of the 5 citations given above are secondary sources, so at present, the article is better sourced per WP:VERIFY than most alkaloid articles, and the tens of pages at these reviews devoted to this specific, unique molecule—recall, in chemistry, one moved bond or added atom makes a world of difference, in patents and in practice—as well as the 37 articles with this compound in the title or abstract make clear that it is sufficiently notable. It may replace its earlier studied relative, gelsemine, in practical importance, soon. Disclaimer, I do not publish in this area of natural products chemistry, but edit in it and all areas of the subject, as professional time permits.

I have reverted their edits earlier today before updating the page. However, they are incorporating sexual content/references and otherwise maligning the person about whom the page is. Further, they have stated in one edit that the person is a drug user.

I have reported them and also provided a notice to cease such activity. However, I am not sure how effective this will be.
Please can you help?
