that Canadian English uses American spellings. The article states, "Beall first became interested in predatory open-access journals ... when he started to receive numerous requests from dubious journals to serve on their editorial boards. He said that he 'immediately became fascinated because most of the e-mails contained numerous grammatical errors.'" All my edit has done is agree with Beall and pointed out a very good example in an example that was already present in the article. My edit is factually correct and not argumentative.

provoke a response from people who would other wise over look this article. I don't believe whatever benefit people think these pictures will add to the quality of this site outweigh the potential negative ramifications. If someone wants to see pictures of sexual acts, there is more than enogh material out there that can suit their fancy. Knowledge (XXG) should stay away from these hotzones if it wishes to avoid potential government intervention and future regulations.

Please have a look at the following links before continuing to remove content that others have worked hard to create, as doing so is definitely considered vandalism: 407:

Sorry, when I re-read the criteria you are absolutely right, but in my mind it fit the dictionary definition of patent nonsense, if not the Knowledge (XXG) definition. Seems odd to me that, as you say, such a blatantly obvious hoax would have to go through some sort of drawn-out process to be deleted

This website is an Adult Content website and will eventually have to obey the laws that govern such sites since there are no formal measures for monitoring the content. Simply saying that one is not responsible is not good enough. If you love this site you should protect it by not supporting this.

No worries! Hope I didn't interrupt your train of thought. Wow, it only took you a few days of being registered to get your first user page vandalism... you must be doing something right :-) it took me a bit longer than that...

In this case what concerned me was that a user affiliated with the site in question was adding dozens of links to it across Knowledge (XXG). This was clearly promoting the site, and many of these links were misplaced or POV. If you, as a neutral observer, feel that this particular link is a valuable

No, nothing interrupted. I'm editing in a local text editor anyway, but the flurry of vandalisms meant it got put on the back burner anyway. And yes, I'm rather proud of my rocketing to fame in only four days. :) Thanks for the suggestion about the talk link. It's on my list of things to figure out.

I see you've realised your mistake. Thanks for reverting the vandalism. The real article is not a great one, that's for sure, but Zamnet is notable because they used to be the registry for the dot-zm ccTLD. Now they're just another registrar and an ISP, which doesn't make them that notable any more

Greetings, Craig. I hope you've been well. My apologies for the lengthy delay in responding to your comments.

I've asked several times now why my original edit was "ridiculous" yet you've kept ignoring the question until we got to this point! I don't see how my edit is "argumentative". It's just a statement of fact that is *very* relevant to the article as it's a common misspelling among people who think

This was the sentence I wanted to restore. Since you had eliminated the link spam after that sentence had been cut, your edit got caught up in my revert. Sorry about that! I've now restored the sentence but eliminated the link that you elmiinated.
