Wiki is not restrictive
You told users not to interfere with your Wiki article. There is a warning just before the summary text box that says:
- If you do not want your writing to be edited mercilessly and redistributed at will, then do not submit it here.
If interference is that much of a problem for you, then save it on your computer instead, and don't order people not to do things that is clearly allowed. Saphykun 14:42, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
I don't mind my articles being edited, I merely want to finish it a bit, especially that these edits were so minor that they could easily wait, not an actual contribution. Also, I did not order anyone, I merely asked in a harsh manner. --Prizmat 15:04, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
