I find it funny that the guy hasn't made a single contribution to Wikipedia. All his edits either directly remove content or nominate it for deletion. Apparently besides the dislike for programming languages, he also hates it when certain scientists have "Dr." next to their names on their Wikipedia articles. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&limit=500&target=Christopher+Monsanto http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributi... Examples: >Raj Reddy ‎ (dr. is so unnecessary) >Randy Pausch ‎ (dr is unnecessary) >Benjamin C. Pierce ‎ (Don't need dr.) and so on

He also apparently thinks that once a dedicated article gets deleted, all mention of that particular subject should be removed (as is evidenced by the fact that he went on a removal spree and removed most mentions of Nemerle from other Wikipedia articles as soon as wiki:Nemerle was deleted - he didn't just delete links pointing to wiki:Nemerle but the actual mention of it). That is not a WP policy.

    Reread the comment. tty is not referring to changes like - …[[Nemerle]]… + …Nemerle… He or she is claiming mentions of Nemerle being completely excised from other articles.

      Oh, my mistake. I didn't read carefully and assumed tty was referring to the usual backlink removal done by a bot after AfDs - I saw one of them for Nemerle on my watchlist today before I came here.
