This deletion has bothered me ever since it happend I was never even warned about this. I had permission from the author to republish this under GFDL even though the text itself was not copyrighted. I spend a long time since it was my first article making it look nice and presentable on wikipedia and some idiot, drunk on power, can simply say "you know what the hell with this contributor I'm going to delete this article without conducting any research" well great you lost a wiki contributor. I will not post another article again as this username or any other. I will continue to edit/monitor the basset hound article and is it.
Oh and even better the web page you qouted doesn't even exist any more hasn't for over 3 years so all that wonderful content is gone to regular users.Edstreiff (talk) 17:33, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
