OK, so "This article or section is written like an advertisement." and why is it still online when other pages deemed as "advertisement" are just deleted???
There is a real discrimination in the way articles are treated ...

Ha. I have some subject matter expertise because I wrote about stickK in my book. I happen to know that the current history is somewhat incorrect and so I updated it, citing my book. That's hardly gratuitous advertising for my "article" as you suggested. And I didn't just re-add language. I look the previous feedback seriously and removed the "peacock" language the last reverter complained about. I think you've way over-reached here. I don't understand why.

Sheesh, you are really stretching to come up with a rationale for your original reversion, since it's not exactly verbatim and more importantly I AM THE COPYRIGHT OWNER of the cited source. Why not just admit you over-reached? Everyone makes mistakes. I'm sure it was well-intentioned. It looks to me like you'd rather be "right" than have the page be as accurate as possible. (But does this mean that if I do a bit more paraphrasing of my own copyrighted work, you'll let the updated changes stand...or will you continue scouring for another contrived rationale for your reversion?)

Unfortunately, no. They didn't go to grad school together. It is now more inaccurate than ever. I will work on it. Jdgrimshaw ( talk) 00:12, 11 June 2010 (UTC)jdgrimshaw
Let me ask you this: "During graduate school at M.I.T., Karlan and a colleague " - is Ayres the colleague here, or is it someone else? If it is him, then we should just state that; saying "a colleague" is vague. And if it's not him, why is it significant that Ayres had people send him reminders? — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 00:49, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
No, Ayres was not the colleague. There is no source anywhere that says he was as far as I know, this edit came from the wiki editor but not from any media source or primary source. Nudge provides the correct information. "Why is it significant that Ayres had people send him reminders?": It is not. Ayres' book Supercrunchers and new Carrots and Sticks book tell the story of the creation of stickK, and the reminders system Ayres used helps explain why Ayres decided to help be a co-founder of stickK, that the stickK way of thinking resonated with Ayres. I have deleted it, and if HaeB feels this is significant and essential to the story behind stickK then HaeB will make edits I suppose. I'd encourage HaeB to read Ayres' book though (Random House, September release) so that the wiki site is accurate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.221.180.168 ( talk) 11:23, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
