Hi ERpav.

Your article, Erricos C. Pavlis, is an attack page, and as such is speedy-deletable by Wikipedia policy. Our purpose here is to write an encyclopedia, so please think of any biographical article as necessarily being like a biographical article in another encyclopedia -- it should include details of a person's life, their career, their accomplishments, and so forth, all written in a neutral point of view. It appears you are writing an article about a single incident involving a person, an incident you find offensive, and are using as "sources" things like comments left on a New Scientist article. That's not a reliable source by our definition. Another problem is that you have adopted as a user name the name of the person you appear to be attacking -- are you writing an attack page about yourself? Can you write an article about the subject and stick strictly to our neutral point of view policy? Please also look at our biographies of living persons policy, which we insist be observed strictly. Thank you, Antandrus (talk) 19:58, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Hello. I agree with Antandrus' comments above. I also notice that after he left these statements, you recreated the article. Antandrus then deleted it again. I have locked the article from being recreated, because it simply is not appropriate to make articles for the express purpose of attacking another. If you think that we have acted inappropriately here, you may post a request to deletion review. Feel free to post on my talk page if you have further questions.
