[Public-List] Alberg 30 in Wiki

[George Dinwiddie]

Wikipedia favors "secondary sources" over primary sources or first-hand 
knowledge. I wonder if you wrote some articles I could publish in the 
A30 site, then you could edit the wikipedia page and cite those 
articles. :-)

I look at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alberg_30&action=history and see that what I presume are your edits have been reverted by Adam Hunt (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Ahunt) who seems to have designated themselves as protector of the page, reverting changes made by others.
