I don't think the article deserves speedy deletion. The reason given seems to be that I called the subject a "Russophobe". As I explained in my last edit, this was a spelling mistake. I meant to write "Russophone", which has a completely different meaning, and obviously makes more sense when one reads the article.
I think the subject is notable - a human rights activist who has been cited by various NGOs. No doubt the subject will be controversial, but the article will evolve as more contributions are made and as I pad it out.
Spelling
The lad's name is Mark Sirők, not Siryk. At least have the common decency to spell names right. ΔιγουρενΕμπρος! 13:27, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
This is English language Misplaced Pages, not Estonian Misplaced Pages. Please feel free to create an Estonian version of the article with the Estonian version of his name. Shotlandiya (talk) 15:17, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Police brutality
While looking for the court's ruling, I happened to find a document citing page 22 of it. I never knew how much Sirők had to suffer when, supposedly, he was forced by police to read a history textbook written by Mart Laar for three hours. ΔιγουρενΕμπρος! 10:23, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

- You surely not suggesting that Digwuren has something to do with or has some feelings against Estonian neo-Nazis? Or why should he complain in that situation? You should be careful with your remarks.
- BTW, reading is generally considered as a good thing, it broadens one's knowledge. And it's very hard to force somebody to read something that he doesn't wish to read. Such an absurd complaint tells a lot about the complaining person. Põhja Konn (talk) 17:42, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
