Delivernews is alone on one side of a content dispute at Operation Linda Nchi regarding the very specific issue of whether a certain, fairly esoteric, Iranian website is a reliable source. See here (1) and here (2) for examples. This has been going on for a while, but is being handled by ordinary editing. Today, the MrFusebox account is created, and his/her second edit after creating user page is to the talk page of the article in question, complaining about the very same website and making the same kind of accusations of supporting terrorism as Delivernews has made in edit summaries (noting for behavioral comparison only). Then MrFusebox's third edit is to remove information cited to that source. If they are the same person, this is creating a false impression of consensus, which until now has been unilaterally uniformly against Delivernews. &mdash; alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 21:39, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

 * MrFusebox' (Suspected sockpuppet's) Defence
 * First of all, a quick check by the wikipedia moderators/admins will reveal that my account was created quite a while ago. I only became active here because I noticed and sought to fix a compromise in this article's (and effectively wikipedia's) integrity.
 * Second, the fact that two (or more) people (or minorities in this case) tend to agree on the same issue doesn't mean they are one and the same being. The issue of opp. linda nchi's casualty stats reported by presstv has been highlited by various media outlets in East Africa and therefore anyone of EA's 132 million would show up in here with similar concerns to those of I and Deliverynews.
 * Besides, I was the first to highlight references to the questionable presstv source and not Delivernews. He/She only seems to care about the casualties. A quick but keen peruse through the logs will show this to be true.

Press TV is not a credible source. It is Iranian propaganda there should be a certain standard and Press TV is not it. A CNN, BBC type standard should be used.

Won't be shocked if Alf.laylah.wa.laylah, Kermanshahi and others are all the same person or within a group set out to promote propaganda. Check all of them please!!!

Lastly what does this have to do with Islamic vs. Non-Islamic? This seems to be propagada coming form those who erroneously belive there is some type of war against Islam... Whatever I don't care enough to pursue it beyond this. Delivernews (talk) 04:46, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
