[WikiEN-l] administrator's status

[Fred Bauder]

Basically (except for Mav) this is the same tag team (Tannin and
User:Jtdirl|ÉÍREman) who supported 172 in his efforts to protray Communist
history from a sympathetic point of view. 172 is the one who deleted the
reference to Tiananmen Square from the China article. All three then engaged
in a protracted edit war to prevent a link to [[authoritarianism and
totalitarianism]] from the China article by creating a sanitized article on
the [[communist state]] which they strongly defended.

Their activity is no different from those who think they can deny the
holocaust.

If you will look at the history of [[China]] and [[communist state]] you
will see that their efforts at editing consist of endless reverts to their
own point of view and minimal discussion of the issues at hand.

I do have support for becoming an admin. I’d like to refer to the below
comments posted on my talk page at
http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:172

: BTW, to become an admin, you need to send an email to the mailing list.
(Sing out if you don't know how to do this.) You were ''persona non-grata''
there in the early days. Indeed, the reason I originally signed up for the
list was to (a) speak in your defence, and (b) make a plea to ban Vera
bloody Cruz. (And I firmly believe that time has proved me 100% right on
both counts!) But that was quite some time ago, and I'm sure your stocks
have risen considerably since then. I'll certainly speak up for you: your
contribution to the history sections here has been outstanding.

Thanks. I have been having major technical problems here. And it has been
difficult getting on to wiki. I wrote something on a talk page at 3.30pm
today but could only get onto wiki to put it on at 10pm tonight! I got a new
digital camera so I spent a couple of days walking around Dublin talking
pictures for wiki articles. (See [[Irish Houses of Parliament]]) God what so
of wikiholic am I!!! I see the latest of Adam's trolls have disappeared. I
think our 'no holes barred' attitude is working. Once he is rumbled, he
knows the game is up and we will tolerate no messing! Anyway, thanks for the
message. BTW you have my full support in joining admin.

We've had our differences and I still think you are not able to see your own
POV sometimes (especially by selective presentation) but I will not oppose
your application for Adminship (however I won't support it either). If Fred
can be an Admin I guess you can too. --[[User:Maveric149|mav]]

You have my support too. [[User:Danny|Danny]]

Fred Bauder’s charges pertaining to bias are also baseless. To get an idea
see the debate on the talk pages of Communist state and China.
