Welcome and re your additions to "Eber", "Joktan" and "Zhou Dynasty"

Hi Lester

First welcome to Wikipedia! Second I am very glad that you and your fellow researchers want to add to and improve Wikipedia.

Being on the Wikipedia mailing list I read your email concerning the reversions of the additions you made to Eber, Zhou Dynasty and Joktan articles.

A few points on your additions to Eber:

• Wikipedia is not designed to have individuals credited at all, because it is assumed that other people will improve or alter that individual's contribution in the future anyway, as information changes, new research reveals new information or to correct a biased viewpoint into a neutral viewpoint.
• Your additions to Eber were explicitly credited to you and you even went to the length of putting your own name in a sub heading. This is indisputably contrary to Wikipedia policy.
• The first sentence and heading were written in the first person voice. Wikipedia articles, as for other encyclopaedic and most academic articles, are written in the third person.
• A Wikipedia article is only meant to contain detailed information about the topic specified by the article title. In fact, all content in the article should fit directly into the topic of the article. Detailed information about related topics should be in other articles.
• Some of your additions were repeating what was in the previous paragraphs. Just rephrase the existing article if it needs rewording.
• Some of your additions were personal information. Perhaps include this on your user talk page instead.
• The rest of your additions included information about the surname Jo/Je and the sinicization of an ancient Hebrew family. Actually this sounds like a fascinating topic, but these are completely different topics and are perhaps candidates for new articles or these topics may already exist in Wikipedia. You can do a thorough search to check and contribute to these articles -- or if none exist just leap right in and start one yourself!

Welcome again and look forward to more of your contributions.

Hi, Lisa!

I am the best authority on the Zhou Dynasty at this time in the entire world. I suspect that someone didn't like my additions and he or she was still stuck in the old mode of thinking...not being fresh to new ideas and NOT allowing OTHERS to see and share. If I credit myself, it is only so others will know the source of information, where it came from and who the suthority was that wrote the article. I am not doing this for profit or money.

I, also, suspect that it could have been deleted by people who thought that the information was false and bogus, which is not so. All of this information comes from my family records or from the Bible with additional research and verification from and by me.

It is very important to let people know who posted the information and it is good to share knowledge with people. Colleges do not do this and many professors are not open to new ideas, nor the truth...whereas I am. So, I thought that this would be a good free froum to post some facts on my family's history and dynasty as well as little published facts about my past ancestors.

My family's dynasty is a Hebrew dynasty, which was sinocized by Nimrod in 2200 BC. We went to China, when God dispersed mankind from the Tower of Babel and our clanfather Jobab is the son of Joktan, who is the son of Eber. So, knowing this, I thought that I would publish these little known facts, which had escaped the notice of many qualified historians.

The current Imperial family of China is the Chou Dynasty (Zhou Dynasty) and my firm represents China's Imperial Family as its agent in Washington DC. I am a self-taught China history scholar. I am the best in my field of ancient China history and the origins of the Chinese people. There is no one better than I in Beijing University or Harvard!

I am, also, the second cousin to the late Premier Zhou Enlai and second cousin, by marriage, to the late Sun Yat-sen and the late Chiang Kai-shek. If I posted my credentials online, I thought, no one would want to challenge me or erase my postings without asking.

It is a dirty shame to keep the world in darkness and to not allow the world to see, know, and learn!

I will repost my articles at http://chinatownhawaii.com/wikipedia/ and put a link or reference to this article. I hope that no one erases these comments. If they do, it is being done in bad taste and by someone who has no respect for others. Truth should reign and not the selfish emotions of others. What I posted bests any scholar at the top universities in the US, China, and Israel.
