Concurrency control
Hello Yoav, You recently reverted my edits on Concurrency control to the previous, badly-worded version. Why? François Robere (talk) 20:16, 7 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Your edits have been reverted since they were less informative than the original text. Also you have deleted a correct well phrased statement with no reason. Yoav Raz (talk) 01:47, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

 * JamesBWatson: I find all this discussion quite embarrassing and unexpected. To answer to your comments: (1) I have been with software system most of my life, and can easily learn how to use the Wikipedia tool... Thinking about "similar characteristics" of W editors, they can stem from similar origin, background, and education out of the US. The areas are very specialized and not well understood by not experts. Hence the relatively small group which looks here and can appreciate the work. (2) I have been an avid user of Wikipedia for many years in many areas. My work has been reflected in several Wikipedia articles in which I have special interest, and would like them to be the best possible. Two principal editors (in distinct areas, and different articles), User:Comps and User:ERfan111 have been blocked for wrong reasons and misrepresentation of facts, I believe, and stopped editing. The work of one was deleted (ERROL), and the articles related to Concurrency control started to deteriorate by editors with no expertise in the field. My only purpose in recently starting to edit Wikipedia was to maintain the quality of these articles. Neither to promote my work nor to abuse Wikipedia, as you write. Keeping quality of Wikipedia is the opposite of abusing it. Regarding my "combative approach": From reviewing the long history I strongly suspect that many actions, especially the massive automatic blocking, were performed not in good faith, and I do not know the reason. The result is clearly silencing the (very valuable) work in Wikipedia that has been done in this area. Multiple tags about a "dispute and inquiry" regarding "Yoav Raz" have been inserted in articles mentioning Commitment ordering in 2011 with no any resolution. I intend to find a way to further pursue my appeal. Yoav Raz (talk) 21:10, 8 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Yoav, there are very simple guidelines here that, if you abide by, I believe you will see no further trouble from other Wikipedians:
 * Avoid publishing your own work (even if you think it's utterly brilliant and world-changing).
 * Do not use your own work for reference.
 * Make all your edits from a single username
 * If you agree to follow these rules you might just get unblocked. Good luck. François Robere (talk) 17:05, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
