Funny how the only hits for Ariddia on Google are for
NationStates and
something called
http://emiryang.net/ariddia/asp/intro/intro.asp, which wants
me to download foreign script. Not exactly a rousing endorsement.
Adrian is not trying to get Ariddia on Wikipedia anymore,
so we don't need to press the point. But for the record,
the foreign script is Korean. But I can't read Korean,
so I don't know if that's Adrian's Ariddia or not.
In any case, there are several pages at that site
(many more than Google realises), so it would validate Adrian's claim
if that is indeed his Ariddia. (But Adrian is French, not Korean, right?)
Anyway, Adrian can tell us where his country's web site is if he likes;
but it's not necessary since the matter of Wikipedian content is resolved.
As for Wikipedia bans and block policy, however, I'm not sure that's resolved.
Was RickK right to block Adrian? Was Adrian a vandal? I don't think so.
But I'm not sure what the blocks justification was, since it's not in the log.
