Why is this article locked?
Why is this article locked? It's in a horrible state as it is, badly needs updating, and even an editor like myself (registered almost 6 years ago, a couple of new articles, ~300 edits) cannot participate. I don't think this is a wise administratorial practise. I understand the underlying concern is that pro-de Zayas single purpose accounts as well as his equally clueless opponents may have been pestering this article, but still, in that case these particular accounts should be either banned from the article or from Wikipedia but normal development of an article by regulars should not be disabled like that.Polska jest Najważniejsza (talk) 13:17, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi. The article was also protected due to extended sockpuppetry. The protection is due to last until a couple of months, but if you reach 500 edits you should be able to edit normally. Best wishes. --NoonIcarus (talk) 20:34, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
 * OK, thanks. Perhaps we will meet here again then. In 3 month's or perchance 3 year's time.Polska jest Najważniejsza (talk) 22:06, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
 * The problem with locking this article is roughly (a) it preserves the sockpuppetry; (b) the article itself is mostly self-promotion / legitimization of an anti-US,  pro-Russian propagandist.  FWIW.  KenThomas (talk) 19:20, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

Request new material be added
De Zelayas has made comments on the 2022 Russia Ukraine crisis. This and other recent activities of his should be covered in the article. I wrote the following material, intending to put it in the article; unfortunately then discovered the article is locked. Could someone with the necessary authority put this in?:

I think that between sections 4 and 5 would be the right place. -- Communpedia Tribal (talk) 22:21, 26 February 2022 (UTC)

9781949762525 is the ISBN and it has a May first 2022 publication date however does not appear in any member libraries in Worldcat.org and is "back-ordered" in all the book stores one here checked. Does anyone know if this book and if so when to press, missed it publication date or something else? The publishers website just shows an upcoming book with the book idea maybe forming around 2017 with the publisher being Clarity Press. 68.48.113.58 (talk) 18:26, 28 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Clarity Press deserves inclusion in WP:SPUTNIK; it is not a reliable publisher.  KenThomas (talk) 19:24, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
