thread_title:  Watch this one 

message: A few weeks ago a Macedonian Slav editor started objecting about the contents of the article Macedonia. An editor (not familiar with the topic) put the article under protection and urged the editors to resolve the dispute in Talk. So it happened. During the discussion, the objecting party would post POV propaganda as evidence for his claims and would throw out personal insults and racist implications (as in degrading degrading darker-skinned people). The situation was so childish that another administrator was summoned in order to unprotect the page and restore the original article. It's been a several weeks since this happened, but the case was far from closed. The objecting party couldn't accept the facts and kept reverting the page 50 times per day, hoping that someone will be bored and give in to his vandalism. This has been going on for over a week and continues as we speak, and none of the admins has bothered to do anything to stop it. Miskin 13:46, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
