*[[User:Mwhs|Mwhs]] (who appears to also contribute as [[User:70.152.161.175|70.152.161.175]]) has been adding disclaimers to the top of [[Mami Wata]] (an African goddess, though Mwhs disputes even this) essentially dismissing the article's anthropological approach to the topic and stating that "[the article's] overall depiction of Mami Wata known to those born and initiated and trained to serve in its priestess- hood is considered suspect." Judging by [[:Image:Mami2.jpg|this image]] uploaded by the user, this person is apparently affiliated with a Mami Wata-worshipping group in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, who host the website [http://www.mamiwata.com mamiwata.com]. I am sympathetic to the point of view of those who actually worship this deity, but all attempts to reason with this person are being ignored. See [[User talk:Mwhs#Mami Wata]] for the discussion. Other users have branded this person a vandal, but I have been trying to reason with them. In particular, the disclaimers placed on [[Mami Wata]] seem to violate [[WP:NPOV]], [[WP:VERIFY]], and [[WP:CITE]]. Help in getting this person to engage in a dialogue is appreciated, but if they refuse, administrative help would be needed (as an active disputant, I must recuse myself from administerial duties regarding this person). A similar notice has been posted at the [[Wikipedia:Africa-related regional notice board|Africa-related regional notice board]]. Thanks. 17:29, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

* {{user|Gzlfb}} is adding dozens of links to [[Zoltán Buday]] in response to requests for verifiable sources (see talk page) and has referred to other editors as nazis (on talk page). 17:54, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
