[Wikipedia-l] Problems on the Kashmiri Wikipedia

This is a call for help on the Kashmiri Wikipedia. There has been some
conflict recently over which scripts ought to be used. If anyone has
any experience with, or knowledge of, the Kashmiri language, I invite
you to participate in the discussion at
http://ks.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Main_Page

Currently there seem to be only two users on this Wikipedia. One is Rk
kaul, and the other is Node-ue. Rk kaul has accused Node-ue of
vandalism since he is apparently replacing pages with some sort of
unintelligible machine translation.

An additional problem on this Wikipedia is that Node-ue has been
editing under various sockpuppet accounts, and also anonymously. He
managed to deceitfully gain adminship for two days after creating the
account "User:Akka Akka" which was desysopped after complaints about
his behaviour. He is also editing under the account "User:Bbbbbbbbb"
and being generally abusive to the other user on the wiki.

If anyone is able to help or offer suggestions, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Angela.
