Some sod keeps deleting the section on Doug Bollen, and the page has
now been locked pending a resolution of this dispute. Please go to
the page and put your comments in the "Talk" section if you agree that
Mr Bollen is worthy of a mention in a page on notable usenet
personalities.

There are two problems here.
First is that there has been an edit war involving the Michael E.
Schmidt section, where it appears Micheal may have been editing it
himself.
Secondly the Doug section is too long.

I think there is some support for the Doug bit, but having been caught
up in the MES war it has just been deleted by admins.

The problem could also be that it was written by sad and pathetic people.

I do believe Glug's jealous, because nobody's suggested he gets a mention.

News for you, mate. You're nowhere _near_ Toomtard's level, let alone
that of the Maestro.

I wouldn't bother. Wikipedia seems to have become a victom of its own
success.
I've heard of people sending a lot of time putting well researched
pages in only for some admin to delete them without allowing any
arguement.

Its on a slow decline and its only a matter of time before google does
its version and finishes it off.

You are apparently mistaken that a poster called Gollum is
contributing to this newsgroup, though Bollen sometimes seems to. What
is very strange though is your ongoing obsession with both people. Can
you explain it?

Maybe it is deleted from Wikipedia because it is your usual rubbish.
What does Bollen think?
