From Misplaced Pages:Village pump (policy):

Q: What should I do if an edit conflict is occurring and the other side will not co-operate?

A: First of all, ask for outside opinion, either WP:RFC or WP:3O if a number of editors are involved. Consensus and a compromise should follow. If someone revert wars from this compromise, report it to WP:AN/I and ask a admin to step in.

From Misplaced Pages:Village pump (assistance):

Q: How do I deal with an article which is beyond cleanup?

A: There are some options:

• Create a draft as a subpage from the talk page and tag with {{draft}};
• WP:PNA;
• WP:ACID (if its really notable).

Hi, my name is Gareth and this is my home user page. I believe in the freedom that Misplaced Pages offers, the flexibility and ease of editing and creation of new articles that attracted me to become a member of Misplaced Pages.

I generally keep to the media, especially television and radio, as well as the jazz (specifically smooth jazz), computing and video games (specifically but not exclusively Sega) articles of Misplaced Pages. I do occasionally keep an eye out for vandalised articles and revert them to the previous untouched version of that article.
