Press TV Sockpuppetry and Vandalism[edit]

I couldn't be more in agreement with you. There is in all likelihood a vandal on the Press TV page. A vandal that keeps trying to insert self-published, POV blog sources into the article -- a blatant violation of WP:SELFPUBLISHED. A vandal that repeatedly attempts to connect point A with point B (i.e. synthesis) because he can't prove his "point" through legitimate means by citing sources that directly and explicitly support his argument. A vandal that uses weasel words to try and make his propaganda as convincing as possible (e.g. The Iranian media's Somali reporters are widely believed [oh yeah? would you be so kind as to tell us by whom exactly?] to be Shabelle Media Network reporters whose license was revoked years ago by the Somalia government after the government accused them of reporting extreme bias in favor of the insurgents and the insurgent leadership based in Asmara, Eritrea). A vandal that incredibly cites the very Press TV articles that he is criticizing as "proof" of his point. This is quite probably the most obvious and patently silly attempt at original research on the page. And that vandal, unfortunately, has a pending sockpuppet case against him, which of course he was so embarrassed about that he tried to cover his tracks by deleting the sockpuppet warning message on his talk page so no one would know what he was really up to.

It is good to discuss about this issue respectfully. I support your case that the section should be improved. Since some of the statements have a lot of sources, they should not be deleted. Other statements might not have enough sources, so you may tag them and eventually delete them. If you problems with statements posted by other users, you may talk with them instead of claiming "sockpuppet" with all wiki users you disagree with. Otherwise, i don't see any big problems. Discuss respectfully and this issue can be solved easily. Thank you in advance. Gadaa (talk) 06:16, 06 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You have been accused of sockpuppetry. Please refer to Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Ethionet for evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with notes for the suspect before editing the evidence page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.65.182.134 (talk) 12:50, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
