Hi,
Globalresearch.ca is not a reliable source. However, because it says things which reliable sources don't, people often try citing it when they want to put WP:FRINGE content into wikipedia. For instance, when editors want to say that global warming is a myth, HAARP is a weapon, the Gaddafi and Milošević and Assad regimes are peaceful victims of NATO aggression, 9/11 was an inside job, H1N1 is a government plot to kill billions of people, &c then globalresearch.ca gets cited. Every time it gets taken to WP:RSN, it gets rejected. This has been explained to you before; you really ought to be careful about stuff like that. bobrayner (talk) 10:36, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

About one of our "neutral editors"

I need your opinion on something before I proceed with grievance. You know User:Bobrayner far better than I do and what I personally thought began about four weeks ago (FRY was 'Serb' because sources say so) has been going on for months and months over dozens of articles and many editors have tried to explain the circumstances to him. Only now did I encounter the Talk:Battle of Belaćevac Mine thread, so five full months has he subsisted on his delusional theory. Edit-warring with 23 editor here too on the same rank principle. He has been hoodwinking the admins since his "let's stick to what the sources say" template so easily passes persons not versed in Balkan affairs and his insistence on sticking to ill-presented publication (with the facts simply being my interpretation) means that we will never have a unanymous consensus. The point is that I can conjure up several evidently bad faith edits by this user and can easily build up a case at AN/I but the problem is this "good faith user" has received 'barnstars', endless kind notes from other editors and is a bit of a favourite with admins and long-time users. Has Rayner yet been sanctioned with ARBMAC? If not it really is high time he was - he isn't neutral, isn't objective, and is not here to write an encyclopaedia, period. I've got cases of his edit wars - not exceeding the 3RR limit but going very near the knuckle in places where users are requested to avoid edit-warring and in my case, taking advantage of my very own 1RR restriction as part of a deal to have my block lifted some weeks back. The only problem is, I personally hate Dramafest. Five times I have been up on offer when ZjarriRrethues and his part-time proxies led the cases and last time saw me blocked for half a day. As such, he is the only editor I would take straight to AN/I if he so much as breathes out of tune. In the case of BR, I cannot help but feel he is getting out of hand. Either he "cannot interpret" the sources (playing dumb) or he is deliberately POV-pushing, the trouble with AN/I is you need to be sure which is which. Either way, I fear unless something is done then this single issue will go viral and affect hundreds of articles over years. What is your opinion? Do you think there is a protection racket for the likes of him? See this ugly issue Evlekis (Евлекис) (argue) 03:04, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

He´s edit-warring at Republika Srpska by removing the list of cities which actually has a source, but he claims something is wrong and refuses to correct it but prefers to remove the entire section. FkpCascais (talk) 03:35, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi WhiteWriter

Could you possibly give me a hand on the Serbian wiki? In order to have a unified login at commons, I need to have my user name (User:Ched) registered at the Serbian wiki as well. I don't speak the language, and don't know how to request such a thing. Any input would be greatly appreciated. — Ched :  ?  21:50, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) You can request usurpation of that username on this page. It should be done without problems, because user is inactive and has only 2 edits.--В и к и T 22:01, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

Thank you Wikiwind. I used the google translate this page and have done so. Greatly appreciate your help — Ched :  ?  22:10, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, Вики! Ched, i will follow reqest on sr wiki, and if you have some other problem, i will help. Thanks for asking. Be well. :-) --WhiteWriter 22:15, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

Thank you WW, and it's a pleasure to meet you both. — Ched :  ?  22:51, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
