[edit] Formatting Dispute

I happenned to stumble upon this page while on RC, and noticed that there appears to be an editting dispute between Ultimate Star Wars Freak and Mel Etitis. I really have no particular opinion on this matter, but do feel that the formatting should be discussed, rather than warred over. Unless there is some vague criteria of vandalism that I have missed, the edits made to this article do not fall under vandalism, but rather, are subject to WP:3RR. --Blu Aardvark | ^{(talk) | (contribs) 11:59, 1 August 2005 (UTC)}

I've tried to discuss these matters with both Ultimate Star Wars Freak and OmegaWikipedia (on their and my Talk pages, and on talk pages of various pop-related articles), and received little but abuse and childish sarcasm in return. I've given reasons for changing the articles, and in some cases other editors have stepped in and agreed, but they both insist on doing things their way regardless of Wikipedia style. They're gradually (without comment or apology) giving up some of their more obviously incorrect edits (changing correct Wikilinks to incorrect or piped links, etc.), but are still insisting on the use of numerals for numbers, non-standard abbreviations, HTML instead of Wiki-lists, referring to their idols by their Christian names, etc. I've discussed this with other admins, and the only comments I received were that the pair's reverts are vandalistic, and that I should consider my reverts free from the 3RR. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 13:53, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
