Why is this article locked? It's in a horrible state as it is, badly needs updating, and even an editor like myself (registered almost 6 years ago, a couple of new articles, ~300 edits) cannot participate. I don't think this is a wise administratorial practise. I understand the underlying concern is that pro-de Zayas single purpose accounts as well as his equally clueless opponents may have been pestering this article, but still, in that case these particular accounts should be either banned from the article or from Wikipedia but normal development of an article by regulars should not be disabled like that.Polska jest Najważniejsza (talk) 13:17, 22 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The problem with locking this article is roughly (a) it preserves the sockpuppetry; (b) the article itself is mostly self-promotion / legitimization of an anti-US, pro-Russian propagandist. FWIW. KenThomas (talk) 19:20, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
De Zelayas has made comments on the 2022 Russia Ukraine crisis. This and other recent activities of his should be covered in the article. I wrote the following material, intending to put it in the article; unfortunately then discovered the article is locked. Could someone with the necessary authority put this in?:

== NATO and Ukraine ==
.
In a 26 February 2022 interview with Sputnik News, DeZayas criticised the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) for its role in the Russia-Ukraine crisis. He said that:<ref>Ekaterina Blinova, ''Sputnik News,'' Feb. 26, 2022, "Ukraine: NNATO Bloc Has Neither Moral Authority Nor Credibility to Judge Russia, Ex-UN Expert Says" [https://sputniknews.com/20220226/ukraine-nato-bloc-has-neither-moral-authority-nor-credibility-to-judge-russia-ex-un-expert-says-1093391442.htmlsputniknews.com]</ref>

<blockquote>
.
NATO is not a “defensive” organisation but on the contrary, an organisation for offensive actions. NATO countries have committed the crime of aggression, war crimes and crimes against humanity in Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and Syria.

and:

<blockquote>
.
It is a disgrace that the Ukrainians have been abused and misused by NATO, sacrificed on the altar of imperial geopolitics.

The above propagandistic material (and indeed, much of the existing bio) does not below on WikiPedia; WikiPedia should not be a forum for spreading disinformation and propaganda. KenThomas (talk) 19:21, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The Human Rights Industry - book of Alfred de Zayas
9781949762525 is the ISBN and it has a May first 2022 publication date however does not appear in any member libraries in Worldcat.org and is "back-ordered" in all the book stores one here checked. Does anyone know if this book and if so when to press, missed it publication date or something else? The publishers website just shows an upcoming book with the book idea maybe forming around 2017 with the publisher being Clarity Press. 68.48.113.58 (talk) 18:26, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
