hello perspicacite, you keep removing my edits without any reasons. may i add this guidline from wikipedia, which you might like to consider before totally removing my contributions again.

"focus on content, not on the other editor. wikipedia is built upon the principle of representing views fairly, proportionately and without bias. when you find a passage in an article biased or inaccurate, improve it if you can. if that is not possible, and you disagree completely with a point of view expressed in an article, think twice before simply deleting it. rather, balance it with your side of the story. make sure that you provide reliable sources. unreferenced text may be tagged or deleted - see Wikipedia:Verifiability.

always explain your changes, especially when you want other people to agree with you. if you can say it in one line, use the edit summary; for longer explanations, use the talk page and add "see talk" to the edit summary.

your contribution has been kept basically untouched. what's wrong with adding what happened instead of agreement implementation? Sundar1 (talk) 07:31, 22 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

The problem with your additions is that they duplicate content from other pages. This article is about the Alvor Agreement, please keep to that topic alone. Furthermore keep guidelines on good faith in mind. — Deon Steyn (talk) 07:29, 24 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
