Removed most of the content

Removed most of the content. One section at least is a copyright violation: probably pasted from http://www.informaworld.com/smpp/section?content=a728443651&fulltext=743473315&lang=nl

I see no reason to believe that any significant text exists here that does not reflect the usual copy/paste modus operandi of the "creator" of the page. If any legitimate text has been removed, it can be reinserted as long as copyright violations are not reinstated in the process. Bacrito (talk) 23:06, 9 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I restored the biography section: there is no p-problem here, because this is just the standard I have implemented in over 1000+ articles. -- Marcel Douwe Dekker (talk) 23:24, 9 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have no idea where you get the idea the source you mentioned relates in any to the biographical section of this article. This section is just composed from various sources, as any biography section in the aryicle I have written here on Wikipedia. -- Marcel Douwe Dekker (talk) 23:36, 9 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mr Dekker, if you can forgive the sarcasm I typed in up there, I can forgive the fact that, while I've been working extremely hard to reduce the burden on you and other editors by cleaning up just a small portion of the staggering number of copy-paste violations you have committed, you have chosen to spend your time complaining about me. I stated quite plainly above:

If any legitimate text has been removed, it can be reinserted as long as copyright violations are not reinstated in the process.

If you want to quibble with everything I do, go right ahead. I don't believe, realistically, there's much hope of you undoing the numerous violations you've committed: at the very least, try not to obstruct people who are trying to mitigate the situation.Bacrito (talk) 01:49, 10 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
