I'd hope disputes between users can be solved by the users themselves. It appeared things were heading in that direction, but if there's going to be a continuing issue, especially one in which more users decide to jump in, then I of course will be taking action.

That said, let me nip this in the bud, in regards to this thread, the initial issue on the Hulk vs Kim page, and the problems that continued on afterward. While including acknowledgment and trivia of the re-edit is of course a welcome addition to the battle page, many of the edits that were undone were undone because they were redundant. The re-edit is not a new battle, and as such it is not counted twice in any of our (frankly over-indulgent) trivia counts. I'm sorry this was not communicated to you explicitly, but when a multitude of users step in to undo the edit that keeps being reinstated, that in itself should send a clear message that something is wrong with that edit, and it should not keep being brought back. If that had been the only problem, this would be a learning opportunity for both sides, to be more communicative and understanding.

Instead, it devolved into an argument, one which I didn't interact with when I thought it was frivolous and didn't require staff intervention. Clearly that was the wrong course of action as it's now been over a day since the inciting incident and the ripples are still being felt. I'm glad the users involved hashed it out and the bickering is over with, and I would advise other users to drop the issue as well. I think we can all take to heart that instead of trading aggression back and forth we ought to focus instead on communicating more effectively, for the betterment of the wiki's content as well as its community. Snark begets snark and we can save the witty comebacks for the rappers.

If a problem persists I'm going to close this thread, and I hope there won't be any further issue after that.
