the same criticisms above were made of
Knowledge in its infancy: unprofessional, non-notable, undocumented information. Does that mean it too should have been deleted. The point of this site is education. I am an educator. You're going to have to do better than unfounded attacks to stop the information. The question for me is, Why do you try?

Hello. Christopher Leadem, the self-publishing, self-promoting, non-notable author in question. It's all bs and personal attacks, but so be it. And 'Vengeance' (this is who you listen to?) if you look up this computer you'll find it to be owned by the
Arapahoe Library District, Greenwood Village,

I am Edwyn Thai, Professor of
English Literature at Hong Kong International University. I teach Leadem's "Highland Ballad" as an example of Western Romanticism of Historical Events. I fail to see the fault in making his literature available free and worldwide. This somehow lessens its value? All

Writing sabatical, would you like a sample? No such link? Have you tried it? You never heard of
Project Gutenberg, which you yourselves sight as a link. Do you know what makes me truly angry? All you have to say is negative, is he good enough to be let into our club. A Nobel Prize winner once

As for looking up your identity, I can find nothing that satisfies me as to your identity. The reason I enquire, by the way, is that if you really _are_ who you say you are, and we can find a way of proving it, it might be enough to save the article. One of the criteria we use to judge a book as

First, I'd like to apologize to ET, for suffering the cross-examination of nerds. Were you sleeping when the People's
Republic of China rolled their armored vehicles into Hong Kong? Are you unaware of the Chinese government's brutal suppression of the Internet? ET may be in Hong Kong, Taiwan,
448:
Who said they'd never heard of
Project Gutenberg? I do note that Leadem's book is somewhat unusual for being a self-published work that PG has accepted for republication; they will usually only accept professionally published works. Not being aware of the process that lead to their acceptance,
460:
Now, if you really are who you say you are, there should be a page at your university's web site with some details about who you are and the courses you run. Ideally, this page would mention the books you use in your courses. Please provide a link to this page, as it will help your cause.
457:). As the author of a notable book, Leadem's article may be more likely to be kept. But first we have to show through real sources (not something randomly posted on a Knowledge discussion page by somebody whose identity cannot be verified) that this is the case.

Second, if someone has in fact hacked into the Kaiser
Permanente computer system, they'd better get out fast. A little thing called HIPPA, the Patient Privacy Act. It carries stiff penalties for such things.
498:
Delete the article as if it were untrue or irrelevant? It's documented information (view the links above), it brings people to the site, and is all of about a hundred words long. What's the down side?
541:
Establishing notability with references to substantial coverage from reliable sources such as articles, books, or reputable websites would be more helpful than launching an attack filled diatribe.

California (more on that in a minute), I don't care. He's standing up for what he believes in the face of potentially serious consequences. Would you do the same?

however, I cannot be sure that this was not simply a mistake (i.e., they were perhaps unaware that the books' publisher was a self-publishing service).
