T\Hi John, the reason I did that edit (and if you check the history I have explained this)is because it was a direct copy and paste from http://www.armalite.com/ItemForm.aspx?item=50A1B-416 - Please read AND understand Wikipedia:Copyright violations before you undo it again please.

-== Your actions and statements at [[Armalite AR-50]] ==
-Hi!  I have been looking at the above named page and I completely agree with the other editor that it is unambiguous advertising and should be deleted as such.  When you undertake to make a page on Wikipedia, a very good plan to follow is to look at pages on similar subjects and model your writing after them.  As the above page stands right now, it looks looks a page straight out of Armalite's catalouge, and that certainly isn't what Wikipedia is for.
-Any article on Wikipedia must meet [[WP:GNG]].  That is the base requirement for inclusion in the encyclopedia.  Wikipedia only publishes what ''others have written about a subject''.  To create an article on a manufactured item, you need to cite sources independent of the company that manufactured it.  You have not done that.
-Also, Wikipedia is a collaborative project.  You do not own the above article.  Other editors can and will change it as they see fit.  other editors have tried to work with you to get the article into shape and you have responded with name calling and threats.  Removal of improperly sourced information is not vandalism; removal of improperly sourced information is not the act of a troll; and calling into question another editor's politics is just bad behavior on your part.
-If you want help getting this article to a point where it might have a chance to stay on Wikipedia, there are editors waiting to help you.  If you want to continue on the path you are on, you will be blocked and they will fix it up without your input.  The choice is yours.
