Hello, I would like to bring to your attention a situation where there are
clear violations of the principles of WP, and abuse of power by some sysops.
There are some members (mainly Spanish) who have embarked upon a campaign of
vandalism on the Spanish version of the Gibraltar article. They are using
this article to spread Spanish anti-Gibraltar propaganda, lies, and insults
to the people of Gibraltar. Even when posts are true, they are as far from
NPOV as they can get.
Gibraltarians have been accused variously of being smugglers, money
launderers, we all live from illegal and/or illicit activity, we ignore EU
law, we have stolen land from Spain (and territorial waters, and airspace),
the British troops have even been accused of ethnic cleansing!
WP is not a discussion forum, certainly less an anti-Gibraltar forum. If
this is what these people want they should find another forum for it. When I
have edited text I have been accused of vandalism simply because I do not
share the Spanish vision (or delusion). They act as if they had formed a
tribe or bully group, and between them seem to think that they somehow
own the article and only those editions that match their views are
allowed.
As if this wasnt enough 3 sysops in particular, Dodo, Ecemaml, & Sanbec are
abusing their position and blocking my access. Their attitude and behaviour
is totally unacceptable.
I request help from anyone able to, as serious violations of WP policy are
being committed by them. I request that these people be told that they do
not have the right to own WP articles, nor unjustifiably block a user just
because he shares differing views to you. No doubt they will invent some
excuse to justify their actions, but there is no justification.
I thank you for your help.
A Gibraltarian
