Hello, I'm Sir Joseph. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to 613 commandments have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

- Burning Wicked, in response to your perceived rejection/removal of an edit that you recently did on Wikipedia, it is not uncommon for that to happen frequently, here on Wikipedia. It is, in fact, a common problem that many people endure here, which is undoubtedly why so many women and more sensitive individuals, females, males, and the like, actually refrain from editing on Wikipedia. For example, only 10% of Wikipedians are women, and of the 90% males, most are fairly to very aggressive. Even the women on Wikipedia are almost exclusively 'very aggressive.' There is a serious problem with dominance behavior and bullying on Wikipedia, which ultimately comes down to a lack of respect for the work other people have done (and the time it took), and their corresponding thought. I am not familiar with the specific contribution you made that was rejected, but many times these are contributions that make a positive difference (and in some cases may need a collaborative fix or addition to make it more viable), that are well-researched and still because someone else doesn't approve of it, or maybe even one portion is wrong (and requires modification) or has a particular point-of-view that they want to assert, will revoke your contribution in its entirety. It is unfortunately, also a problem with the larger world as well, where dominance behavior becomes the adopted principle of action, rather than accommodation and inclusion. But that is another matter. I want to assure you though, that the revocation of and edit contribution that you may make, is not a reflection of your skills, but here on Wikipedia, it is much more a reflection of your temerity, tenaciousness, toughness and combativeness. Unfortunately, on Wikipedia the meek do not inherit anything. I cannot tell you how many hours I have spent working on an article only to have someone more dominant and assertive remove my work (and I am a meticulous researcher).
