The same unsources accusations that DW is a cult once again: [1][2] and that Nydahl is a criminal religious leader [3] despite the list is intended for those committing crime after becoming religious leaders.
A few examples: contributions on the "cult" thing from earlier confirmed sockpuppets: [4][5][6]

Couldn't a long-term semi-protection be applied to the Ole Nydahl and Diamond Way Buddhism? The disruptive edits has been lasting ONE YEAR (!!!) now, and the accusations are rather harsh (as I filed in former cases, even accusations of sexual abuse and being a cult, brainwashing etc.: All really serious (and unsourced) accusations especially since we are talking about a small minority religion in the west). Range block has earlier showed some effect, but it will effect more people than just preventing unregitered users from editing the two pages (lets face it, there are very few serious edits from unregistered user on both pages). There was some period of semi-protection that showed to be very effective, but the disruptive edits started again after the protection ended. Siru108 (talk) 15:12, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
