Your advice

You participated in the discussion here, where you wrote "From what I read about this elsewhere, it appears that the war was well preplanned in advance by the Russian military, and the shelling of Georgian villages was a deliberate provocation to start the war. The Georgians fell into trap by responding to the provocation." An article has been updated since then to include the fact that Russian military had planned for the war before August 2008 and Pavel Felgenhauer's theory that Ossetians intentionally provoked the Georgians. Recently I've revisited in December 2015 since I'm a historian interested in that war in addition to Russia's recent political history and tried to add legal analysis of Russia's accusation of aggression, however some editors have removed the wording and I've tried both to revert them and to discuss the changes. Since then, some new accounts have shown up who have complained about an article. They are angry that an article both contradicts the Russian government's POV and is critical of Russia's actions. However, it is also critical of the Georgian actions. Then one administrator showed up and took the side of these editors, and accused me of POV-pushing and warned me that I'll be topic-banned, so I removed controversial wording. I think that an article shows how everybody contributed to the tensions. The problem is that clearly there will always be some readers or editors who won't like any criticism of Russia, but what can be done? It's likely that I won't edit that article anymore or any other Wikipedia article because editing Wikipedia can be dangerous, and if such accounts who support the Russian government take over, they will attempt to distort the history and put the blame for the war solely on Georgia. I've been personally attacked and harassed numerous times for editing that article, so I didn't know who else to ask, so I'm looking forward to your reply. --UA Victory (talk) 17:08, 3 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
