- Are you claiming that you wrote the majority of the article and that it was copied from somewhere else? The sources for the sections you've blanked and the article history do not indicate this. Acroterion (talk) 01:19, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
- You've removed content sourced to the American Heritage Dictionary, the Peoples' Daily, the Pacific Institute, sunbeltwater, The Hindu and Headlines India. When did you write this essay? Acroterion (talk) 01:26, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
- The lead, which you removed, has remained substantially the same since at least 2008. Likewise, the Methods section. The Desalination section took approximately its present shape in May 2009, but not all at one time. The Low Temperature Themal Desalination took shape somewhat later. I do not reject your claim, particularly on the last-cited section, but it is not possible for the first two to be as you claim. Acroterion (talk) 01:40, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
- Well, I'll rewrite it according to the sources (as could you), which is the appropriate solution in such situations, not removal, and your removal of two or three year old material doesn't help your case. Wikipedia tends to be incorporated into research papers far more often than the reverse. There have been hundreds of edits to the article over the past year.

- If you're knowlegeable on the subject, some rewriting and updating would be a good thing, now that I've reviewed the article in some detail - it's got lots of dead links, some promotional links and is a bit hard to follow. Just remember that ideas are not copyrightable, only their literal or nearly literal expression. I'm trying to fix a few things I see. Acroterion (talk) 01:56, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
- I've substantially edited several portions of the article, including the last paragraph mentioned above, and brought in new sources. I invite you to contribute where you can, remembering that sourcing is essential. Acroterion (talk) 02:48, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
