PLEASE DESYSOP MORWEN!
MARWEN BANNED ME WITHOUT JUSTIFICATION WHEN I USED THE VOTES FOR DELETION PAGE TO VOTE FOR THE DELETION OF A BUSINESS ADVERTISEMENT PAGE IN WIKIPEDIA.
ADVERTISEMENTS SHOULD BE DELETED IN WIKIPIDIA. WHY AN ENCYCLOPEDIA NEEDS PAGES ON FOR-PROFIT COMPANIES?
WIKI IS NOT YELLOW PAGES. IT IS AN ENCYCLOPEDIA. THOSE WHO WANT TO FIND A COMPANY AND LEARN ABOUT IT CAN VISIT ITS WEBSITE AND READ THEIR PROPAGANDA.
Just to add information: by the tone and content of this post and the sorts of articles he was "removing advertisements" from, this is almost certainly the same user that has been blocked so far under 2 or 3 different IPs, one of them an anonymizing proxy (207.44.154.35). The edit summaries are usually all caps and somewhat abusive, along the lines of "THE WIKIPEDIA RULES SAY NO FUCKING COMMERCIALIZATION! STOP PUTTING IT IN ASSHOLES!" (from [[Atlantic City, New Jersey]]).
207.44.154.35? Hell, I blocked him on the Welsh Wikipedia last Wednesday for vandalising [[cy:Hafan]], the Main Page to promote some "NESARA" rubbish (it wasn't even in Welsh, which might be a little more forgivable!). He was back today doing a minor bit of vandalism to one of the date entries, and got blocked again. Is there any way to permanently block an IP address?

I AM NOT A VANDAL, NEITHER A TROLL. THEY JUST SHARE THE SAME IP. I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE INCIDENTS YOU DESCRIBED.

Hehe.
Just in case you're actually serious in all this, you should know that no one's really taking you seriously. At least I don't think so. Not at this point.
BTW, guys, I think I just got the joke. ANTICAPITALIST. Get it? No? Trust me, it's funny.
But not worth the time.
