Sheldon Brown
Have you looked at the opening of the article now that you have "unbroken" it? It now reads "Sheldon Brown ... was a American bicycle mechanic". The "U" is in the title of the linked article, not what is displayed to the reader. "was a American" needs to be fixed.

By the way, linking "American" is unnecessary. WP:OVERLINK says "An article is said to be overlinked if it links to words that can be understood by most readers of the English Wikipedia." Happy editing! Chris the speller (talk) 14:55, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

Zap
Thanks for keeping an eye on the Zap related articles. As you may have noticed the exact same editor (albeit with a different dynamic IP address from the same ISP) seems to be on a crusade to censor and spam the articles with corporate marketing BS. He/she is undoubtedly an employee of Zap - obvious from the location of the IP address range, the style of the editing, and the fact that the ISP is in the same part of China as Jonway. Perhaps all this evidence is enough to go for semi-protection of all the Zap articles (or at the least the main article and the Zap Alias) to stop this interference and COI/spamming. What do you think? --Biker Biker (talk) 17:43, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I think semi-protection is merited at this point. I should probably have gone through the edits point-by-point and tried to fix them, rather than reverting everything, but the sheer magnitude of the COI edits this/these person(s) are doing makes it difficult to keep up.
