People we're getting somewhere!!! Already 373 signatures!!! I thank you for restoring my faith in mass actions and the belief that together we can and will right wrongs. Send it to everyone you know!! On another note, whilst trying to edit an article on Wikipedia called 'Slavic speakers of Greek Macedonia' I met with bias on my adjustments of one of the editors, who admitted -not to my big surprise- that indeed he himself was a FYROMian, as I had suspected because of his completely subjective comments to me and my edits. The main edit was replacing 'Republic of Macedonia' with 'FYROM" (in my opinion they should have been delighted that I didn't change it to Vardarska, but ok). This 'Dr.K.' on Wikipedia told me that it is... not permitted because Wikipedia has decided that 'Republic of Macedonia' should be the official name for the FYROM on Wikipedia. When I refuted his ridiculous claims he tried to ban me from editing, ironically stating that my adjustments were fanatic and subjective (...!!). I have saved the whole conversation and article (edited and none) because I think that Wikipedia, of she wants to be objective -as she claims-, should not tolerate this kind of 'arbitrage'. This is an outrage! I challenge all to address Wikipedia or edit this article. I will try to see what I can do about this sneaky and unscientific editing of people who are trying to manipulate public knowledge and opinion to their favour. They will NOT succeed. Let's stay strong together. Only together will we be able to really make a difference !!!
