Violating rules Quoting non-English sources on Malaysia Airlines Flight 17

According to Wikipedia:Verifiability#Quoting_non-English_sources When quoting a non-English source (whether in the main text, in a footnote, or on the talk page), a translation into English should always accompany the quote. I did exactly that. Note that deleting important information backed by the sources may be qualified as vandalism. I hope you just did not see my translation --Ilya (talk) 17:06, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

  • Reedy, I'm concerned with your behavior on this article. First, Russian sources are not disallowed. In fact, using only Western sources is what could cause us to have a systematic bias. Not only that, but why are you using sysop tools on articles you've edited?--v/r - TP 17:40, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
    • I was going to be patient and give you as much time as you needed to respond, but another involved admin has begun issuing threats to any users questioning your actions and that admin insisted I raise the issue at ANI. Please see WP:ANI#Two involved admins on MH17 article.--v/r - TP 18:10, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

M17

Struth! Didn't take you long to get this one locked down, did it? [1]. Please see MH370 and the reasons given there for NOT locking down these types of article. 82.31.18.26 (talk) 18:13, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

Even worse! I see you created it, and within 1.5 hours you'd protected it. What bad form. 82.31.18.26 (talk) 18:16, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

Is indefinite time necessary? Why not one year or two? --George Ho (talk) 19:16, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
