Removal from you talk page
I removed the personal attack/rant from the now-indef blocked User:Cosmos416. Hope you don't mind. --Athenean (talk) 23:18, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Academic source in Thracians article
Hi Laveol, there are a few editors that are removing an academic source from the Thracians article. It seems they want to push their POV and thus they erase any academic sources that counter their goals. Here's the quoted statment from the source I included more than 2 years ago, ( Dr. Aris N. Poulianos states that Thracians like modern Bulgarians belong mainly to the Aegean athropological type. This is from: Poulianos, Aris N., 1961, The Origin of the Greeks, Ph.D. thesis, University of Moscow, supervised by F.G.Debets ), which was subsequently erased without explanation. This happens even while other sources discussing similarities between Greeks and Thracians remain. That is very suspicious. BTW, I provided all of those sources originally (Greek ones included) as they were all a part of a thesis paper. Anyway, I included said source again a few days ago, and two editors are now sequentially removing it as they are attempting to get me into a revert war whereby the 3RR becomes relevant. Since it is vandalism to remove academic sources what is your suggestion in this specific case? Which admin should I speak to? What kind of punishment is applied to this type of vandalism? Mojesh li da pomognesh?--Monshuai (talk) 00:59, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
