I hardly dare to say it, but I reverted to a version that is anterior to
december 2003, to insure it was "somehow" stable.
Does it matter _that much_ which version a page is protected on? I'd argue
that it matters less than breaking rule # 2 of the page protection policy.
I tend to agree with Sascha Ant, the reality is that there is a lot of
propaganda
about Lukashenko floating around. He is a dictator, he did expell OSCE
representatives but there are a lot of people in Belarus and elsewhere
who might agree with other versions of "reality" and see him as a mostly
benevolent force. To write a really good article about this guy requires a
lot
of reserach and most of the versions of the article that I have seen are
pretty poor.
Better to leave the old version for now and deal with the disputes as it
will
likely take a while to resolve the issues between these contributors and
separate fact from fiction and propaganda which is coming from several
different
sources.
