article has major problems

Hello, I changed the format of the heading "research". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Borfali (talk • contribs) 22:27, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The information about this person is old and mostly wrong. The article needs major revisions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikieditarab (talk • contribs) 19:16, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The entry "Bilal Orfali" has major problems, It was updated several times, but one administrator "Praxidicae" has reverted to the older version and is blocking any change. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikieditarab (talk • contribs) 19:37, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

For anyone curious enough to waste their time, this user is related to this spam farm and several other locked accounts. Praxidicae (talk) 19:53, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly because Praxidicae was mean to block accounts and refuses to look at the changes. Check all his comments on his talk page, he cannot even reply in a nice way. The person mentioned was kind to help change the page and I do believe he was a spam. AT least not in this case. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikieditarab (talk • contribs) 20:26, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
