The case of [[Fausto Veranzio]] (or Faust Vrančić)  and '''Francesco Patrizi''', the Venetian philosopher, is a fine illustration of the nationalistic warfare that infests Wikipedia, and the inaccuracy and distortion and bias that follows as a result. Editors are using Wikipedia for blatant Nationalistic propaganda and is not based on fact.

====Venetian Albania====

Another article to mention is ''Venetian Albania'' i(t is also related to the Republic of Venice.) Here is an editor's response to some very simple basic historic facts concerning the ''Republic of Venice'' and Venetian Albania: {{Cquote|''This is without even going into the controversial nature of the very biased and unbalanced depiction of history''}}

This is typical standard Wikipedian rhetoric spin. The language can be also interpreted as a facade for other editors who are not educated in the topic at hand. Also the statement is there to create a problem where in fact there isn't an issue here at all other than that of Nationalistic extremism.
