Revision as of 06:43, 26 January 2006
After a month or so long encounter with an editor who used multiple sockpuppets to summarily revert any political or historical-related articles to which I would contribute (in the slightest fashion), I have in the past few months come to the attention of someone known (to myself and others) on GameFAQs as "Fenriswolf". Having the privilege of being only the second of two people to vandalize my user page, he has taken to changing or outright reverting edits I make to articles, mostly anonymously, but also as "PatCheng". If you happen to come across some strange-looking, trivial, even childish edit wars I seem engaged in (in which I will typically use the phrase, "rv mass reversions"), it is simply that I am defending my right to edit against this user--an aggressive Chinese nationalist, (unsolicitedly admitted) admirer of Joseph Stalin and Mao Tse-Tung, with comparatively unrestricted internet access (compared, of course, to most subjects of his mother country--who typically can not even view this site) and the time and patience for pursuing a vendetta with a person with which they are not intimately acquainted, thousands of miles away. Will I discuss these edits if asked? Yes (when I can make time). Will I preemptively surrender my ability to edit without detailed justification to one user's filter? No. I will not.
Take, for instance, this long war over an article title. In a dispute over events in which research is less than a decade old, he aggressively asserts that a "massacre" took place and it should be described as such. Funnily enough, saw only "events" rather than a "massacre". Falun Gong is merely a dangerous cult, Chinese repression is "alleged" to have occurred (mostly propaganda from FG types and the subversive Epoch Times), oppression in East Turkestan is only a matter of squashing al Qaeda-afilliated terrorists, and so on.
