Charlie Wittmack Page
You previously deleted the Charlie Whittmack page under the grounds that he wasn't important enough and the fact that the previous author did not cite his sources correctly. Now that he is much more famous, (attempting a "World Triathalon"; which is a swim across the English Channal, a bike ride across Europe into the Himalyas, then a summit of Mt. Everest; this earning him a spot on the cover of Momentum: Endurance Sports Magazine and many other magazine and newspaper wrote articles featured about him) and I will proparly cite my sources, will you give me permission to restore his page?

You did not respond to my request to reinstate the page 'linguist's toolbox'. I consider that you had no grounds for taking it down and respectfully ask that you respond or replace the page.

Requesting Guidance for correcting a Misplaced Pages entry
Hi, we corresponded a few years ago when I attempted to revise the Misplaced Pages entry for The New York Botanical Garden. I work there in the Communications department and have received numerous comments about inaccuracies and missing information in the entry.
Back in 2008 I had attempted to add "facts about the Garden" to the main entry but it was rejected, and I was told it would be best as a linked document.
But what can I do, as an inexperienced wiki contributor, to revise the entire entry to better reflect the full scope of the Botanical Garden in science, education, exhibitions, and living collections?
Also, how can I make the corrections without having them rejected or altered again?
Thank you for any help you can provide. My email address is nleshi@nybg.org and my work number is 718.817.8658.
-- Nick
