AstraZeneca frustrations
help me

Upon learning from reputable sources that AstraZeneca IPs were implicated in wikipedia self-editing, I created the following entry under the Controversies section in the AstraZeneca article: "AstraZeneca has been implicated along with numerous other firms for removing controversial or embarrassing information from its own Wikipedia entry. Amongst other edits, evidence exists that someone using a computer registered to AstraZeneca deleted references to claims that Seroquel made teenagers “more likely to think about harming or killing themselves.”"

My reasons for including this is that 1) it is very clearly verifiable and independently sourced 2) it concerns the integrity of both wikipedia and the company 3) it is written in a way that does not stretch its source material, containing absolutely no slander or conjecture.

Since including this, several edits have been made specifically to delete this section, even though I have requested that folks come to the article discussion page first to talk through it. The first edits cite no reason, while the later few cite dubious reasons: from "this is rude" to "the company has a right to remove controversial info from its entry" etc etc.

You can view my notes about the lack of discussion, ironically enough, on the article's discussion page

Even ignoring the actual content, this is a very clear process issue. I would like advice/input on how to proceed from here. Also, does anyone know how to use Virgil's data miner to determine the location of the edit IP addresses in relation to the company's location and IP range? (in case curiosity trumphs good faith??). Lastly, any other suggestions that you have to clean up the article and make it more encyclopedia are welcome. Thanks! Youngea (talk) 09:09, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * The reasons stated aren't enough, keep reinserting it. If they delete it too much, cite WP:3RR ...... Dendodge . Talk Help 15:04, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Try talking to them on their talk pages first, and if you don't get anywhere with that, you may want to consider dispute resolution. Also, be careful, since 3RR applies to you too.--Werdan7T @ 15:08, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
