Hi. May I know why my addition of Ayodele Awojobi under the List of inventors was undone by you? The man invented a hybrid vehicle called Autonov 1, sometime in the 1970s. Thanks.Krrush (talk) 19:13, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
I got "your" answer here - and I quote - "What this page is for:
This page is for listing inventors of significant inventions. It is not for listing scientific or mathematical discoveries for scientists, regardless of how famous or significant the discoveries may be. Nor can it be for any old patent that the author wants to have immortalized by listing it in wikipedia. The US patent office grants about 500 patents per day--they cannot all be listed on this page, which should therefore be restricted to notable inventions that were commercialized and have been noted in references such as other encyclopedias, histories of technology and such. Strange, or funny half-baked ideas of cranks don't belong here either. This is an encyclopedia, not a book of humor". Thanks.Krrush (talk) 19:35, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
