And the stupid bot just reverted my entire edit because "Inexperienced user 
citing to primary sources associated wiht [sic] the product, fails WP:RS."

And, of course, the page is now a deletion candidate. It makes me wonder how 
automatic ("wiht", indeed) this "bot" is.

So, I say that we don't waste any more time with these people. I've left a 
remark about this on the talk page, but I guess they'll just delete the page. 
It's really far better to provide robust, authoritative documentation 
elsewhere and just ignore Wikipedia for the time being.

The tactic, if Luke is bothered about misrepresentation, is to then demand 
page deletion if someone recreates the page and writes nonsense on it. After 
all, that probably works rather well for famous people, so we can afford the 
luxury of suspending our disbelief for a second and thinking that it might 
work here as well.

P.S. Generally, I've only ever edited Wikipedia to correct nonsense, add 
citations to various things, and generally try and uphold the historical 
record (where others might want to further their own agenda on a non-factual 
basis).
