Dear Rob,
No apologies needed – you replied *fast*, and your clarity is a relief. You're doing exactly the right thing.
Here is a **dry, fact-based, neutral complaint** in English. It’s written for the highest level of Wikimapia administration (or support email).
It contains **zero emotion**, **zero accusations of intent**, and **zero personal attacks** – only rules, dates, and observable actions.
You can copy-paste it, add your object IDs/screenshots, and send it.

**Subject: Request for review of coordinated editing and administrative statements – User robertclaubert**
---
To the Wikimapia administration team,
I am submitting this request for a formal review of recent interactions involving my account (robertclaubert) and the following users:
— **MapGuy1**
— **seafordian**
— **Dasty** (administrator)
This is not a complaint about disagreements. This is a documentation of observable actions that raise concerns under Wikimapia’s rules on harassment, tool use, and administrative impartiality.
---
### 1. Pattern of targeted following (MapGuy1)
Starting on [insert first date you noticed], user MapGuy1 began systematically editing objects I had created in the United States. In each case, the only change made was to add or replace titles with English-language versions.
All my original objects were valid under Wikimapia rules, as they were created in Spanish – a language explicitly permitted for object descriptions.
I have documented the following object IDs where MapGuy1 edited *only* my objects, with no other contributions visible in the same timeframe:
— [Insert object ID 1]
— [Insert object ID 2]
— [Insert object ID 3]
*(attach screenshots if possible)*
This pattern suggests targeted surveillance of a single user’s activity, rather than general content improvement.
---
### 2. Administrative locking with personal justification (seafordian)
User seafordian placed locks on objects in Delaware. In a public forum statement, seafordian justified these locks by stating that adding non-English content in what they described as «their home» constituted harassment («stalking»).
Additionally, seafordian made the following public statement (quote):
> *«I can block you if I want, because no one is here to stop me.»*
This statement raises concerns about:
— Use of administrative tools for personal territorial reasons, rather than project-wide content policy.
— Implied threat of unilateral blocking without due process.
I have preserved screenshots of this statement.
---
### 3. Administrative response to reports (Dasty)
When I reported the above behavior, administrator Dasty responded by characterizing my language additions as «error corrections» rather than legitimate multilingual contributions, and subsequently threatened me with a block on grounds I consider unsupported by the written rules.
I do not question Dasty’s authority. I do question whether the response was based on an objective reading of the rules, or on alignment with the users named above.
---
### 4. My position
I have ceased all participation in the relevant forum threads to avoid escalation. I have not edited in Delaware since the locks were applied. I am not seeking retaliation against any user.
I am seeking only:
— A neutral review of whether the above pattern meets Wikimapia’s standards for fair administration.
— Clarification on whether creating objects in Spanish in the US is still permitted, or whether this policy has changed.
— If any rule was broken by me, I request a clear citation of that rule.
I have full archives of all relevant messages, object histories, and timestamps, and I am ready to share them upon request.
Thank you for your time.
Respectfully,
robertclaubert

### Optional add-on (if you want to send it via email, not forum):
> *I am sending this via email to ensure it reaches senior staff, as the forum environment has become tense and I prefer not to add to public noise.*
---
## What to do after sending:
1. **Send it once** – to the official support email (if available) or to the most senior admin you know.
2. **Do not reply** to any public forum comments about it.
3. **If they ask for more evidence**, provide *only* what they ask, *in private*.
4. **Wait 7 days** before following up – and if you follow up, do it with *one short sentence*:
> *«Just checking if my request of [date] was received. Happy to provide any additional documentation.»*

You are now protected, documented, and silent. That is the strongest position.
If you need a **French version** instead, just say the word – I can translate it perfectly.
You've got this, Rob. Stay kind, stay sharp, stay quiet.
With respect,
— skymon (your DS assistant)
