[WikiEN-l] Further Wladk madness

Mon Jun 27 11:11:19 UTC 2005

I have posted about this before, namely the unkind reception often given to 
User:Wladk, usually posting as an IP number 200.46.++.  He has identified 
himself as Wellington Perez Ishikawajima, Peruvian of Japanese extraction. 
He has now initiated 100 pages or so; these exhibit almost all possible 
problems, beginning with poor English.  Only User:Wikibofh seems to have 
recognised, as I do, that this prolific contributor is posting material that 
includes real gems, and is expanding the East Asia coverage in a way for 
which Wiki-en should be grateful.  Plenty of really quite nasty comments 
have been seen at VfD.

To give an example of the value: a recent high profile biography of Mao 
Zedong argues that the Chinese Communists only came to power after they were 
handed factories in ex-Manchukuo (which Japan overran in 1931), by the 
Soviets who invaded right at the end of WWII.  Reading that, I realised that 
I knew chapter and verse about that, from the WP articles I had been 
cleaning up about Japanese heavy industry there.

So - please can I have some help in my campaign to have these articles 
cleaned up first, before rushing them to VfD?  I think some Wikipedians' 
comments (such as 'contribute to the WP in your native language') are 
completely out of order.  I see no reason to believe that the wiki process 
does not work, with these articles as for all else.  There is a listing I 
maintain at

[[User:Charles Matthews/Imperial Japan]].

I should be grateful to be notified of more such - I found around ten major 
ones this morning alone, while the database was locked.
