I'm one of them ([User:Arvindn]). The others (that I remember) are
Wik, VeryVerily, Jiang, Boud.
The articles in question are [[2002 Gujarat violence]],
[[Bharatiya Janata Party]], [[Racism]], [[Genocide]] and a couple
of others.
The person making the allegations has 3 usernames LibertarianAnarchist,
Democrate2003 and Conradx. I'll call them LA for short. The above articles
are the only ones LA has ever edited.
Now lets do some fact checking:
* LA has no idea of what NPOV is.
LA simply deletes/replaces any criticism of [[Sangh Parivar]]
that they don't agree with (in several articles). The articles merely
*reported* criticism and thus *attributed* POVs. LA removed [[Sangh Parivar]]
from a "list of allegedly racist organizations", even though it as been
widely alleged to be racist.
* LA is an Indian version of a holocaust denier.
[[2002 Gujarat violence]] is about an alleged state sponsored
genocide of about a 1000 Muslims. LA's version of the article managed
to make the victims look like the agressors!
* LA's "encyclopedic manner" reads like a religious rant.
This has already been noted by Ec.
* The communism part is completely irrelevant.
LA reflexively accuses anyone who disagrees with them of being a communist.
This seems to be the only argument LA has ever made to justify their edits.
(Tip to LA: What you're doing is *so* 1990s. Have you been living in a cave
these last few years? Get with the times, man! These days, if someone says
something you disagree with you call them a TERRORIST. That's right, its
not COMMUNIST anymore. Terrorist is the in-thing now. That's why people
kept reverting your edits. Had you called them terrorists, it would have
worked!)
P.S: I'm Indian.
Cheers,
Arvind
who keep watch on what I'm posting and revert it
to their version
which carries nothing but what can be classified as propaganda of
the Communist Party of India(Marxist). These people add allegations
by this party as a part of an article.
I'm all ready to jump in and give those folks hell, but from looking at the
article, "India" I find no record of any user Libertarian or of any
widespread reversions. Could you give more detail with some references to
specific articles, edits, information, etc?
