I've put a bit of a reply on the talk page as well: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Pieter_Rubeus&diff=5... I seriously doubt that this editor has a primary interest in improving Wikipedia beyond promoting his winery, though.

Hello Pieter
Sorry for only replying to your message now, I have been away for the long weekend and got surprised with quite a backlog of emails. I see that there have been responses on your talk page regarding the matter. Do you still need support from my side? The links posted there are very good starting points and I would have suggested the same.
I also copied the Wikimedia ZA general mailing list. I am sure that we will also get responses from some of the members there, whom are most probably more active contributors than me.
Kind regards Lourie

Hi Laurie
Can you possibly assist me in creating the following page correctly to get it to be listed as it has many issues on it.
The user talk page has the details in it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Pieter_Rubeus
It seems that the edited pages was deleted and I added the correct one now for Jim Bleak, but I would like to have some expert advice on how to conform the article in a manner that it is understandable and usable and conforms to international standards.
It need to reference to the NAME USAGE OF RUBEUS including the interpreting of the name as well as the explanation of the name itself and not to me or the family of rubeus.
I will appreciate your response to it.
