Greetings,
I was so excited to find Wikipedia and to see that I was mentioned as a source expert for my subject of expertise. So I thought the honorable thing to do was to submit portions of my seminal book in the secion that mentioned the book so others might have access to some of the material. So I spend many hours preparing and submitting a new section of the submect but was accused of multi-crimes and deleated like a rat tossed from a trap, everthing I wrote, even little edits to the chapter already there to improve it, all gone. In fact they even deleated another of my books that I added to a list of further reading on Afghan music where my coleagues were listed. Do I have leprosy and does everyone hate me for some unknown reason?
I don't understand why when my book is listed as a reliable source for Persian Traditional Music on Wikipedia, everything I added to the article on Persian music or any other place on Wikipedia, even just a word or two, was viciously deleted as if I was some horrible stupid know-nothing and an unwelcome intruder when I was only trying to be helpful. In the world of Persian music, I am accepted as one of the scholars and my book has been called "the last word" on Persian muaic; so why would Wikipedia despise my every effort to submit material and seemingly block every word I have spent hours preparing? How can scholars in a field ever submit anything if they are first threatened with potential plagerism then, when they demonstrate they are the copyright holders of their own book, accused of conflict of interest even if all the quotes in the book are from accepted scholastic source persons? It's like Dante's Inferno or Zoroastrian hell. Dr. Lloyd Miller, PhD Persian literature and music. 00:49, 8 September 2008 (UTC)~~~~~
