Dear editor n.1, I apologise for not have edited the premise to the article in a clear way, I wish to explain the content better and I kindly ask your help to comply with the requirement of Wikipedia articles.

In fact, this second part of book II is an attempt of mine to comply with the required limits set by Wikipedia. It is not an essay at all, but simply a summary of the content of the second book of "De Oratore", a dialogue written by Cicero. I wrote also the article on De Oratore Book I, which was considered like this: "This article is within the scope of WikiProject Books.". You can imagine that I am astonished by this strong remark: I admit that I do not know well your editorial requirements, but if I did mistakes, I had no very clear help how to amend. It is not very helpful to say: please try to amend and improve your article, without saying how. With the Book I, I had a very nice help by another editor or user, which I do not know unfortunately, that was interested by my article, preserved the content and arranged it in a more Wikipedian style with a very nice result. Thanks, however, to have written "If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article so that it is acceptable according to the deletion policy." Kind regards.--Francesco Bonini (talk) 22:12, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dear editor n.2,

I am sorry to inform you that your statement is wrong: as I wrote above, this part of article is not an "actual" nor a "translation": surely you have not read the Latin text as I did; otherwise you would not have made this gaffe. Frankly speaking, it is not consistent to ask money to "let us save Wikipedia" on one hand, and then give such rude (and bad informed) opinion on this article of mine on the other hand, asking brutally for immediate deletion. I entered the magic word of Wikipedia, very pleased by the advice: "please if one corrects you or you correct one, do not feel offense and do not offend, because we can learn one from another". I deem that advice is valid for you too: next time, think before writing, otherwise you could damage Wikipedia, making many people go away by a rude or too severe approach. Regards.--Francesco Bonini (talk) 22:12, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
