I'm wondering are there administrators on global scale on wikipedia who can have a say what's going on there?

Croatian wikipedia is riddled with pro fascist, homophobic idiots who are changing every article and filling them with idiotic nonsense. One guy is quoting homophobic portal who is funded by church, which is always making these idiotic 'news' (I wish they were like onion or sth, but these guys are for real).

And when one user tried changing the article about Ustaše (which are kinda like our version of Nazist, they were allied with them in the ww2, and did really heinous crimes against anyone who wasn't Croatian), because the article was saying that they did good things and that they were misunderstood and that crimes they committed basically didn't happen (it was a communist plot Rolling Eyes), he got banned by admin for insulting?!

So I was wondering, if there are people who know the inner workings of wikipedia, is there any way to stop this? I mean, the people are glorifying fascism ffs!

Might worth contacting these people.

Notable people like Randi seem to like what they are doing, so if nothing else, they surely know how wikipedia works inside and out.

I haven't been in Serbia for a long time Sad I usually go to Novi Sad, since I have family there, but all my friends who have been in Belgrade say it's really great, so I'll definitely go there as well Smile

And I'll old you to your word Very Happy

@zmed: We have pages like that, but no one can really do something about it, other than point out that there are idiots who do stuff like that. I was thinking if there was some central place to report this stuff, so that the idiots who do edits like this get banned from editing articles...
