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.
I resent this accusation.
As I have told Angela before, I am neither of these users.
It should be obvious from my support to many different small Wikipedias that this is not the sort of thing I would do.
If I want to be abusive, I don't do it anonymously or under a name that is not mine, I own up to it.
You may offer up tokipona: as evidence to the contrary, however I will make two points on that: 1. I never said it wasn't me and took responsibility for these actions immediately, 2. I did that IGF, regardless of whether it was a good or bad decision, and I do not see how such abuse as has occured on the Kashmiri Wikipedia by all parties involved could be claimed to be IGF because I do not see how I or anyone else could even try to begin to justify it.
For those of you that frequent #wikipedia, you will note that when I get upset and use abusive language, I never do it anonymously.
After the very recent argument where in fact Angela and I took opposing sides with regards to policy for creating new Wikipedias, I don't see how anybody could reasonably pin such behaviour on me.
