Hello there

I'm sorry to bother you, but the conflict in my wiki surrounding one user might make its way here, and I want to inform you of the situation.

The user Jdogno7 originally joined our wiki back in 2015, but was banned after having several arguments and dissagreements with the admins and high ranking contributors. These included his insistency to replace all semi-colons with colons (even though the use of the semi-colon was correct), replace the "and" with "as well as," and altering a list of names because he felt it was better his way, when they way we were using was canon in the books our wiki is based on. The admins tried several times to reason with him, but as I said, he was banned for not heeding their advice. From what I have come to understand, he was banned from other wikis around this time for similar behaviour (link provided).

Now, two years later, we decided to give him another chance. But, as before, we encountered problems. This time, Jdogno7 was insistant on changing an article from plural to singular, and continued to make alterations to semi-colons and minute words despite the admins and contributors telling him that his edits were wrong.

To be fair, one or two of his alterations were fine, and we allowed them. But when two of our most active contributors attempted to educate Jdogno7 on what he did wrong, he instead chose to pick apart every part of their—and my own—responces and reply to them with segmented responces, such as, "What do you mean by this?" "Who did I offend?" "Just because the community aggrees on something doesn't mean it's right." I will provide links to all of these encounters if you would like to see the full story, but I do warn you that his responces are very repetative after a while.

Eventually it got to a point where the contributors were asking me to get involved, since his edits were disrupting the wiki, and he wasn't listening to their attempts to help him improve. I gave him several warnings, but he continued to act the same, picking apart my posts and responding with those quick answers instead of defending his argument for why the changes should have been made in the first place. Eventually, when he learned about the discussions between the contributors and I, he posted that the contributor who first called this to my attention was, and I quote, "A troublemaker and a liar who viciously persecutes anyone who dares disagree with them while self-righteously acting like a victim whenever they are rebuked for such behaviour." For this, and a similar insult towards myself where he said, "You are allowed to point out the flaws in my arguments but I am not allowed to do so in yours? That is absolute arrogance," I banned him.

Not an hour after I banned him, he left another reply on my page on a different wiki (link provided) where he feinted innocence and demanded that I be as descriptive as possible when describing the reason for his ban. The one that stands out the most to me is that he claims not to know how he insulted me and the contributors, but as I have provided you the quotes from the third thread, you will see that he is feinting innocence.

He ended his post by saying that he wanted to duscuss the ban with me before the issue got to Community Central, but unfortunately, I feel that is no longer a possability. He is a disruptive person who prefers to start conflict over minor gramatical alterations than to actually improve an article (his one or two improvements to articles were on pages and topics he was already debating over). As such, I have come to warn and inform you of his actions, in case he does come forward and try to claim we should restore his status on the Deltora Quest Wiki.

I am sorry for this inconvenience, but insulting contributors is where I, as an admin, must put my foot down and defend their rights against people like him. Hopefully he will choose his battles this time and not contact you about this issue, but in case he does, I wanted you to be as infomred as possible.

Thank you for your time
