Hi there. Whatever the merits of one spelling or another, you are currently edit warring, and you can be blocked for edit warring. Don't do that - it's not worth being blocked over a couple of hyphens. Discuss the disputed material on the talk page instead, so that you and others can come to a consensus about what is correct. If that doesn't happen soon, I will end up asking for the page to be protected, and then nobody will be able to edit war, since nobody will be able to edit. I'm sure you don't want that. — Gavia immer (talk) 23:25, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's not just about a couple of hyphens. It's much more about self-aggrandising users like David Schwimmer here, who stubbornly protect their edits come-what-may in the face of overwhelming evidence to the a contrary view, delusional in the idea that their experienced editor status must always trump that of some drive-by editor. This is an encyclopaedia, user identity is nothing, content is everything.

Under another username, I am a 'normal' editor' with thousands of edits and a handful of commendations. Occasionally, I go trolling for a couple of weeks to see how the other half live. Increasingly, I find myself much more upset with the 'article-owner' arrogance of some users than I ever get with out and out vandals.

Still, I suppose it takes all sorts. I'll move on. Thank you for your calm comments. I am now going to randomise my password and make no further edits under The Oriffice. The Oriffice (talk) 09:42, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Good work here. I hope you get the chance to discuss the edits at Pulp Fiction. Sorry about the ClueBot NG false positive; but don't be disheartened! It's just a program, after all. -- SnoFox^(t|c) 00:24, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
