Worry, fear, zealots, etc., I hear a lot of strong words here, but has anyone actually tried to contact the other wiki editor? Failure to communicate is the cause of 90% of the problems out there. I'm disinclined to recommend any further actions until someone suitably motivated takes at least that first simple, civil step. Remember, we're talking about a Wiki account that was first used on August 29th, and where only 3 edits to a single page have been made. To call this zealotry and to bemoan the lingering motivation of power users is an overreaction, in my opinion. Editing disagreements on wikis are nothing new. And we don't want to demotivate new contributors either. Personally, I'd assume this is a new user and maybe confused and invite them to discuss this page further on the mailing list or forum. If the person is truly the devil incarnate, that will be plain enough in due time and we can take additional steps.
