Joan of Arc

Welcome to the fray! You seem to have picked up that there has been significant dispute about this article in the past: be prepared for people to jump down your throat. Noisy | Talk 10:36, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Your changes at Joan of Arc (either already made or suggested) are very much appreciated! Please edit boldly! As I mentioned at Talk:Joan of Arc#Tone this article should be polished to fit an encyclopedia. Be aware of AWilliamson, a self-proclaimed expert on Joan of Arc. He's a conservative catholic devoter of Saint Joan of Arc and a homo-phobe. He now acts under anonymous AOL-accounts and at least one sock puppet - HAJARS 22:08, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

I've just changed some suspisious edits by an anonymous user (from comparing his use of language, I believe it is AWilliamson) back to your version of the article. I know for sure he will revert them again. On that account it's an never ending story. Reading your edits, I'm convinced you are a true expert on the subject. HAJARS 22:55, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

I agree you've been very transparent. I wish you good luck on your effort to make the article more fitting an encyclopedia! — HAJARS 01:08, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

Just take a look at this older version of the article and see how brief it could be... — HAJARS 23:22, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

As I expected, he changed my revisions of his edits again, just an hour ago. You can see his changes here: just look at the history chart of the article and compare selected revisions. There's no way to discuss this edit war with him. I invited him several times on the talk page, but as he won't log in there's no way to address him directly (and he doesn't respond to messages at his accounts AWilliamson and Center-for-Medieval-Studies) — unless you want to e-mail him. His e-mail address can be found at his site www.joan-of-arc.org. HAJARS 14:40, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

Barnstar

Just have a look at your barnstar... — HAJARS 11:18, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

Mediation and opposition

Your request seems alright to me. I'm sure some mediator will pick it up. — HAJARS 16:01, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

See my respons at my talk page. — HAJARS 18:21, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

Hang in there, but don't get too involved. You should perhaps make yourself aware of Misplaced Pages:No original research when confronting the Ballards and Allens of this world. Noisy | Talk 00:01, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

Yes, I agree. Although I doubt the point would register with them. Durova 00:25, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

To keep you posted...

Hi Durova,

New developments: 64.12.116.197 and Jhballard have been editing Joan of Arc again. Especially 64.12.116.197 has been reading our posts (at all those separate places of Misplaced Pages). He now admits he is Allen, because he has read your assumption that Allen had probably been banned in the past (the assumption you made near your request for mediation). See the history of Joan of Arc:

23:59, 3 November 2005 64.12.116.197 (Edit comment: I'll drop the main point of dispute, but certain basic things nevertheless need to be cleaned up. (I have never been "banned", by the way))

I have never been "banned" he says. So he is Allen! Not that clever to admit it like this BTW. — HAJARS 23:50, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

I see. Do you know anyone at site admin? Durova 00:21, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

You could contact Fire Star. I don't know if he's admin, but at least a moderator. — HAJARS 09:15, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

Stupid-stupid-stupid!

I'm so terribly, terribly, terribly sorry! No, I'm not sorry you are female. I'm sorry I presumed you were male. Of course, as you expected, I'm male. No, I'm not! I am a sock puppet, but the man who determines what I say or do is. I guess he's a male pig. You may beat him. After all, you've left some clues on your page about your gender. Very stupid to miss them. I'm very ashamed! — HAJARS 23:23, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
