Hi Hu12,

I'm just trying to understand what happened here. It seems that despite having been very careful with my edits (all I did was make previously existing citations of Euromonitor link to the previously existing article for the company, as requested by the Orphaned Article tag which had long existed on the article). I was very clear about what I was doing and made notes which explained exactly what changes were made. I am at a loss to understand how this was in anyway a violation of the Wikipedia policies, particularly such that the original article on Euromonitor (which was not written by myself nor, as far as I can tell, by anyone else at the company) was deleted. Can you please offer some further information as to what I did wrong and why the response was as it was? Thanks 12.159.227.50 16:01, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
