Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Takis Fotopoulos. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. You registered as wiki user @ 20-03-2012 and without any prior editing work you start attacking the Takis Fotopoulos article. I have serious reasons to suspect you as someone without good intentions and faith. I explained to you that the references are secondary sources and only 2 primary sources something that is in accordance with wikipedia's policy.

- You have not explained anything. Instead of acting like the members of the Church of Scientology did - and got duly banned from Wikipedia - , accusing people of vandalism, you could contribute positively by helping bring the article in question in line with Wikipedia's requirements. Mind you, what you do constitutes harrassment. SentientContrarian (talk) 10:22, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
- Also, to address your false accusations, I actually to have some previous editing work, however minor. Could you please refrain from immediately surmising that someone who points out problems with the article on Mr. Fotopoulos is "attacking" him? The article needs improvement, plain and simple; the tag is merely a call for attention, so that you or others can improve it. Oh, and what happened to the assume good faith rule?

Please stop your
- What you are doing is harassment. I pointed out weaknesses in the Takis Fotopoulos article and you immediately came to attack me and accuse me of vandalism. Is this the way all of you Inclusive Democracy supporters act? SentientContrarian (talk) 11:09, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Takis Fotopoulos, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. To summarise. You registered as wiki user @ 20 March 2012. After 3 minors editings to the pages "Rolleiflex", "Arkadi Monastery" "Renault Espace" finally you discovered that a thematically totally different article regarding a political philosopher relies on references to primary sources. I explained to you that when only 2 of the total 15 references are primary sources its ok and in accordance to the Wikipedia policy. In any case a beginner user as you with no prior editing work and/or experience with the Wikipedia project probably should start with less ambitious actions. Lets say why don't you try to improve an article adding citations etc? Why don't explain where do you see lack of references or primary sources? There are specific templates as "citation needed" etc and this way you could help the editors to improve the article. But NO. After only 3 minors editing and no experience you just added a template on the top of the page. According to these I strongly believe that you don't act in good faith and you don't really would like to help. Plus other actions of you like a) the message you left on the User talk:Nihilo 01 talk page saying "What's the deal with the Inclusive Democracy supporters? They're so aggressive and militant; please see my Talk page for some samples of their behaviour. What should be done about it?" constitute a) an indirect threat to the editors and b) affiliate ―without a single evindence or support― that people involved on the editing of Takis Fotopoulos page are Inclusive Democracy supporters and c) is offensive calling them "aggressive and militant". Other similar actions by you are the follow comments in your user page : "Instead of acting like the members of the Church of Scientology did" (offensive) "Is this the way all of you Inclusive Democracy supporters act?" (false). All the above are "personal attacks". User:Nikosgreencookie (User talk:Nikosgreencookie) 18:20, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

- Thank you - my point exactly is what you said "users are expected to collaborate with others". Regarding my reverts: as can be seen in the history of that article, I made two reverts as opposed to four by that other user. Also, he immediately accused me of vandalism. And repeatedly. His behaviour on my Talk page is something that I can easily perceive as harassment - he even claims I "indirectly threaten" him and others who follow the same ideology.

SentientContrarian cannot unsubstantially make claims against a living person because he read something somewhere, etc. about him, nor that what he says about Fotopoulos' "rants", etc. have anything to do with his questionable activity against the biographical entry.

Articles in Wikipedia in English about matters Greek tend not to reflect well on Wikipedia, and I personally tend to like people who point out their flaws...
