Easier formatting for your wiki-links
Greetings, I see you're working too hard on your wiki-links. For example, you're typing [[[|United Nations Trust Territory] when all you need to do is just type United Nations Trust Territory and it will link to the Wiki article. That said, on WP links to external sites mainly belong in "Further reading" and "External links", so please don't put links to other sites in the main body of the article.

Seriously, please pause and get the formatting right
You're going further and further using a non-workable non-Wikipedia format. If you rewrite the whole article with an unusuable format, editors will probably just "undo" all your work rather than spend hours cleaning it up. You can either do it right the first time, or risk watching it all be reverted due to format issues. Please contact me with any questions about formatting.

Let's talk; otherwise I'm rolling back all your changes
Greetings, again really glad to see you're enthused, but you're producing a completely misformatted article. If we can't get some discussion going this weekend as to how to bring it up to code, I'm going to roll back all your changes to the point where it was before you came in. If you want to be participating in this article, you have to participate in the project by communicating with other editors. Wikipedia is not a one-man-show, it's a collaborative project, and your solo work is making the article worse due to a misunderstanding of formatting.

You persist, so I have reverted your edits
The earlier version of the article was not without flaws, but you have replaced it with reams of completely uncited text that is not even slightly formatted to Wikipedia standards. Accordingly, I have reverted your edits. Feel free to contact me on this issue. MatthewVanitas (talk) 02:01, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

Again, reverting your edits due to formatting and lack of response
Greetings, I have again reverted your edits, not at all due to content (which is a separate concern) but due to the fact that you have taken a functioning Wikipedia article and essentially dumped an MSWord document in its place, which has no functioning categories, improper external linking, improper wikilinking, and in nearly all ways fails to correspond to Wikipedia format. If you want to contribute to Wikipedia, you must follow the format. We have many editors here who would be happy to help you organise and lay-out your work, as well as help you reconcile disputes in coverage, but instead of responding you have ignored my multiple warnings that your edits are not constructive. Your edits will not be allowed to remain unless you follow proper formatting, and participate in the Wikipedia community by explaining your reasons for editing, and communicating with other editors.

Hi Matthew, I have been trying to respond to you but do not know how. I am the Ambazonian Consul General for North America, and the information I have provided about Ambazonia is the only truth you will ever get about Ambazonia. Please explain to me how to use the proper formatting. Thank you.

Discussion on improving Ambazonia
Hi do get in touch with you so we can have this issue resolved?
