:::Obviously I do NOT want to prevent others from editing the work. I simply want recognition for what I contributed to this site, just like any other editor. This is not asking for too much now that I have moved on. We've allowed people to attribute their work (in this very non-evasive way) for many years now without a problem. Are you telling me now that the editor who has spent 5+ years editing the site like a fulltime job, probably contributed at least 80% of the sites content, was in charge of its networking with other sites, formulated and wrote most of its rules, administrated the site and helped other editors, and copy-edited/corrected/quality-controled every single page, you are going to take that right away from him? Other wikis may not attribute things, but we do. And if that changes now, it's pretty obvious to every one why it is only changing now. Over the years I've spoken to Ali Sina, Robert Spencer, Jochen Katz, etc., and I can guarantee that any one of them would have bit their own hands off to have me join their sites and write for them. I chose to stay here, and this is how you're going to treat me now?[[User:Sahab|--Sahab]] ([[User talk:Sahab|talk]]) 02:26, 31 July 2014 (PDT)
