They also notified the mentioned editors (except for Khirurg which I assume is a simple oversight). The YouTube channel in question has 112K subscribers and the video has 35K views. What would a rational person acting in good faith do? They would thank them for the notification about this potential problem.Potential vandalism of articles regarding Greek and Albanian history
Hello, and apologies in advance if this is not the appropriate place to notify the WP community.
However, I think that there is a high risk chance of a number of articles regarding Greek and Albanian history to be vandalized by IP edditors in the near future. A week ago, the Greek Nationalist pseudohistorical YouTube channel «Πρακτική Σκέψη» (en. "Practical Thinking") released a video titled "Πως οι Αλβανοί κλέβουν ελληνική ιστορία" (en. How the Albanians steal Greek history). In this particular video, the uploader attacks both the Greek, as well as the English Wikipedia as being biased towards Albanians and Albanian history in general, using as an example the article "Principality of Arbanon" claiming that the Albanian nation didn't exist at that time and that this is a fabrication of wikipedians.
Today, Youtube user "mecruz" wrote the following comment "Είναι αλήθεια ότι στην αγγλική βικιπαίδεια υπάρχει μια συγκεκριμένη ομάδα Αλβανών που παραποιεί την ιστορία της Ελλάδας με την προπαγάνδα τους. Αυτά είναι τα usernames/ονόματα των χρηστών της αλβανικής ομαδας: Βατο, Maleschreiber, Ahmet Q., Ktrimi991, Khirurg, Botushali, Alltan, Demetrios1993, Αυτοί οι χρήστες συνεργάζονται, έχουν διάφορες τακτικές που χρησιμοποιούν για να προωθήσουν την προπαγάνδα τους στη στην αγγλική βικιπαίδεια."
Users Βατο, Maleschreiber, Ahmet Q., Ktrimi991, Khirurg, Botushali, Alltan, Demetrios1993, are collectively accused as Albanian nationalists that push Albanian propaganda. It wouldn't suprise me if doxing takes place as well.
Thank you for your time, and once again i apologize if this is not the appropriate place to notify the WP community. Popular Punk (talk) 16:53, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
