I understand your frustration, but please note that we do not need your permission to write an article about you. If this article is a copyright violation, please provide the original source of the article and I will tag it as a copyvio myself. It is not a copyright violation to simply record facts about you, however. If any of these facts are incorrect, you can remove them from the article by editing the article yourself and replacing them with correct facts. Gamaliel 20:01, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Welcome!
Hello, Monicadebruyn, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome!
P. S. It's unfortunate that someone contributed an article about you that contained inaccuracies, and your anger is understandable.
However: a word to the wise—you will probably find that the outcome is much more satisfactory to you if you accept Wikipedia for what it is, and try to shape the article more to your liking. Attempts to exert control of any kind on Wikipedia generally do not work. Don't try to replace the article itself with your personal protests, for example. Dpbsmith (talk) 22:06, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- And blanking the article again, as you have done once now, will only result in your being blocked from editing. RickK 23:11, Mar 2, 2005 (UTC)

- Please note that this user was blocked on nl:wikipedia for 24 hours for making threats and blanking the article on nl: multiple times. Waerth 06:30, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
