"Harry Smith" is a far-right-wing fanatic who has been a menace for quite a while under various guises (earlier "OneVoice" and for the past few months anon IPs). I think there is something wrong with him as his behavior is very bizarre and obsessive.
Viajero listed him at Requests for Arbitration not long ago. In recent times, protecting Wikipedia from him has become quite a chore and I don't know why my little available time has to be so occupied when I would much prefer to be writing articles. So I started to block him and wrote this information on the RfA page so that the arbitrators have a chance to look at what I'm doing and tell me to stop if they wish. I think he should be banned permanently.
In case anyone is actually interested in the Current Events issue he raised, there was an initial report widely taken up by many media outlets then a couple of days later there was a corrected version that was less widely reported. "Harry" thinks that by finding more copies of the first report than of the second report he can prove the first report is true! And this is a *good* example of his logical skills. (Everyone knows that when a newspaper admits they are wrong then they probably were.) In any case, the event is nowhere near significant enough for Current Events, but is just one example of the crud "Harry" has been filling up Current Events with. People have started complaining on the Talk page and rightly so.
Zero.

once again I ask to point out specifically where the article state that it is a correction.
