I think this article is tightly focused, comprehensive, authoritative, and warrants standing alone, which is why I created it. The F-Mount article is already long, disjointed, and cluttered enough. Motorrad-67 (talk) 11:58, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is already an article which aims to discuss all aspects of Nikon F-mount lenses: Nikon F-mount. The content of Nikkor perspective control lenses (which is excellent by the way) would fit perfectly well within that article. Your derogatory statements about Nikon F-mount, regardless of validity, do not constitute a strong argument against merging. Please do not unilaterally remove the merge tags. --Stybn (talk) 19:30, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I put quite a bit of effort into creating this article. However, it is depressing to see that I am an idiot for bothering to create a first-class, authoritative, focused article, only to see someone dis it by suggesting it warrants nothing more than being absorbed into another article. It is a mistake I will not repeat. Do whatever you wish with it. I have learned my lesson. Motorrad-67 (talk) 21:38, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You "dis" the Nikon F-mount article, which I've put a lot of time into, and then take offense when I call your work "excellent" and suggest a merge. What gives? --Stybn (talk) 17:25, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Now I see you merged this article into Nikon F-mount yourself. I cleaned up the merge so that it wasn't just one article as a "footnote" inside the other. Then you resurrected the original article, so now the same content is in two articles. Huh? --Stybn (talk) 03:30, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why is it that one person can decide whatever he wants to do to a viable article he did not create, and then can do it without any restraint? Why is that one person able to assume that authority just because he wants to? It seems grossly unfair to me. It has also ruined my enthusiasm for contributing fresh articles to Wikipedia.

I continue to be stumped as to how simple suggestions and questions add up to unilateralist authority. Need I mention that you merged the articles?[1] --Stybn (talk) 03:16, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
