Ok I am having major problems here. Can someone who has experienced this help me out?? When the admins are just targeting you. I still cannot believe this. There is vandalism going on in the pages of so many that I edited and everyone agreed on, now people are changing it to make it seem so biased. Take a look at "ball hog" article for instance why is there a picture of KOBE BRYANT on it??? It is total bias. AND LOOK AT THE KOBE BRYANT ARTICLE why are there TWO PICTURES OF HIM DURING THE RAPE CASE??? Out of 3!! IT is TOTAL BIAS AND THE ADMINS ARE ALLOWING IT. And look at the Steve Nash vandalism everyone is only putting good facts on it and deleted all the facts I had that were legitimate. See I ONLY posted FACTS LEGITIMATE FACTS all the time, yet these admins like William M. Connolley (British), MADCHESTER (A Canadian and STeve nash is CAnadian also), and PS2PCGAMER are biased. They love steve nash and allow BLATANT POV AND BIAS on the Kobe Bryant pages, ball hog pages, LEBron James, etc. They allow people to delete all the articles I worked hard to put on there. It is not fair everytime I post a fact on Steve Nash it GETS DELETED, BUTTTTT Everytime i post A GOOD POSITIVE FACT IT STAYS and nobody deletes it. AAAH I AM SO UPSET.

<snipping a long rant>
Two invaluable pieces of advice.
1. Calm down. Acting in an irrational fashion is going to cause people to label you as an idiot who shouts, screams and rants like a child, and who therefore isn't worth helping with...
2. Discuss it on the relevant talk pages. If a consensus cannot be reached or if problems begin to occur, raise a request for comment on the specific page - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment - and bring the matter to a wider audience.
Please remember that admins on this site are a bunch of editors with a few extra tools. Their purpose is not to serve as moderators of content; I'm of the school of thought that when it comes to resolving a content dispute, the admin's job is akin to dragging apart two fighting children and holding them apart until they calm down and begin to resolve their differences.
Stop posting to the mailing list with long rants full of capitalisation, cul-de-sac arguments, irrelevant points, etc. Get the simplest facts out, and someone will help. Confuse and annoy the shit out of people, and they'll respond by deleting your posts.

Sometimes, and I need only mention the Superbowl wheel war, it's admins who are behaving childishly. I would not rule out inappropriate behaviour on the part of an admin.
However, I can only reiterate what has already been said: long rants about rouge admins aren't helpful.
Recent edits on the article have removed several criticism about Microsoft. Now the article is mainly focused on the "exciting" features of WMP 11 and the availability of WMP for other platforms.

Competition information removed, the template was expanded, an image of the latest beta version along with its release information added (which just happened to be Wednesday this week) not as a note on the page but featured in the template, nice long features list moved to the top, no list of bugs and formats it doesn't play, a long description of the beta version moved in right after the features, and the EC monopoly fine and restrictions moved to the bottom.
At least have the Foundation charge them for advertising space.~~~~Pro-Lick

Did you read the edit summary?
"major restructuring: rewrote intro, moved EC info into its own section, added info on WMP for mobile devices, dropped unsourced criticism, renamed some sections"
Note that a lot of what was "removed" is available in [[Comparison of media players]], which is linked from the See Also section.
