Q: Do these special privileges also apply to other languages of the Wikipedia site?

Dear wikipedia platinum overlord or whatever it is you call yourself,

Please watch the pages about AnastasiaDate and Dmitry Borisovich Volkov. I've been blocked from editing both Russian versions (there is a discrepancy, nobody wants this mentioned anywhere). Some trumped-up Russian wikipedia master with the grandiose title "Order of the Honored Patrolman level 1" badge globally blocked me (twice). And I don't think that was very nice.

The main facts are: 1) Dmitry Borisovich Volkov owns AnastasiaDate, AfricanDate, AsianDate, ArabianDate and AmoLatina. This is through various other stakeholders such as SDVentures and SOL Networks. 2) Both AnastasiaDate and the dating.com group appear in the The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) offshore leaks database. Even the name "Dmitry Volkov" appears in the ICIJ leaks (although that could be a different person).

Somebody using a Russian IP address initially created the articles for SDVentures and then a week later the page about Dmitry Borisovich Volkov. So it seems that the now billionaire Mr Volkov —or one of his 600 representatives— don't want him to be held accountable for his own businesses (good or bad as they may be). He is essentially the CEO, the owner, and yet he doesn't want to be associated it with any of it.

Long-standing allegations about dating scams aside, those are the facts.
