Fermat

You placed your links in the biographical article for Fermat. Since your articles say little about Fermat the individual and they were not used to source any of the content of the article, they are not relevant to the article. The same argument could not be made if you were to make these edits to the article Fermat's Last Theorem, for example. However, as far as I can see, the links were entered purely for WP:PROMOTION and on those grounds are eligible for removal. — Myasuda (talk) 17:18, 23 December 2012 (UTC) Reply I am 71 years old and have no need of PROMOTION for career or others, but only the will to rehabilitate Pierre de Fermat through the steps possible to him.Nicola Fragnito

Professor Fragnito, it seems that over the last couple of years material has been added to Wikipedia claiming that you have solved the Twin prime conjecture [1], Goldbach's conjecture [2] and now Fermat's last theorem [3] Furthermore, it seems that some if not all of this material has been added by you yourself. There are some things you need to know about Wikipedia. Firstly, all material must be verified by independent reliable sources. If you have been fortunate enough to resolve all these great problems, then other members of the mathematical community will surely, sooner or later, comment authoritatively on your achievements, and we will be able to add them to Wikipedia. But the reverse does not hold -- Wikipedia is not the vehicle whereby you advertise your achievements to the mathematical community. Secondly, we strongly discourage people from contributing material relating to or promoting themselves. Even if you are retired, you surely have a personal interest in being recognised for your achievements, and so your adding them to Wikipedia is editing at least as much in your own interest as in the interests of building the encyclopaedia. Finally, we have seen a number of claims to have produced elementary proofs of these and other conjectures: none has yet stood up to sustained scrutiny. Please do not be offended if I suggest that you need to consider at least the possibility that your contributions are also mistaken. I urge you most strongly to submit your work to sustained criticial scrutiny, wait and let others add this material if and when it is recognised by the majority of other mathematicians.
