In the thread "Every Chess Configuration", Johannes Bauer wrote (sarcastically)
about my biography (and I quote):

> I'm not the guy who put a page about himself into Wikipedia... That's one
> fun page, I must say: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galidakis

As was explained in the aforementioned thread, my bio was put up there as a
response to the Wiki editors requesting it (after they somehow learned, God
knows how, that I've worked on tetration).

Mr. Bauer found my bio 'fun' and hence just ONE negative statistical sample is
enough indication that this page is more trouble than what it's worth, because
random losers keep using its existence as an attack vector against me.

Denis Feldmann volunteered to trash my bio, but for some reason he didn't. I've
been waiting for 2 days, and my bio is still up.

I tried to delete it myself, but some random Wiki editor responded with "Under
GPL you cannot revoke a contribution after it's been made" (history), or some
such nonsense. I don't even know what that means, let alone trying to debate it.

Is there ANYONE here who knows me well enough and who is familiar with Wiki
editing details and can trash this friggin page? Template, discussion, history,
etc? I really want a MATHEMATICIAN who knows me to do it and not some random
bystander.

If nobody can do it and if this page is up after 4-5 days, I will assume that
there is a reason WHY it must stay there. You figure out what the reason may be.

Many many thanks,

what is your problem ?

are you going to let Bauer push you around , telling you what to do ?

should your actions depend on him ?

what wrong with having a bio ?

you did work on tetration and mentioned the people who helped you ( robert israel e.g. )

thus you dont claim all credit and contribute to the rarely known concept of tetration.

i dont see any reason to involve bauer or denis feldmann into the matter.

ps im working on tetration too.

might post it when its finished.
