I think both TourguideNixon and JinxTheFunhouse are right in some points and wrong in others:

1. I agree with TourguideNixon that the narrations of events in Hange's page that JinxTheFunhouse was writing are overly long and fraught with unnecessary details. We should be more concise and focus only in the most important facts, in an strictly objective and canonical way.

2. I agree with JinxTheFunhouse that TourguideNixon's forms may be worthy of a blocking. According to the Blocking Policy, some reasons that deserve this action are:
 * 1) Recurring failure to keep civil, such as making personal attacks or not adhering to a basic standard of civility.
 * 2) Recurring harassment, defined by Wikipedia as "a pattern of repeated offensive behavior that appears to a reasonable observer to intentionally target a specific person or [group of] persons".
 * 3) Continual edit warring (this comes to JinxTheFunhouse too).

So I should invite TourguideNixon to express his views in a more civilized form, because such an aggressive attitude only makes others feel offended and respond in the same way.

3. About the Appearances section, it shouldn't be removed without having a consensus with the community. Its usefulness is questionable in some cases, but is an essential part of the identity of the character, and there are some aspects that are not always obvious until they are described. It is also a basic section of the classic structure of the character pages not only in this Wiki, but in virtually all fanwikis, so it shouldn't be removed lightly.

In any case, this edit warring needs to be stopped. If any user feel that their edits are being unfairly retired, then open a thread in the forum and discuss it with the community. How do you feel like you can moderator or run a wiki effectively when everything is put to a vote and you're rarely present? Votes are easy to misuse and without arbitrators/regulators to observe it shouldn't be used frequently to decide every decision of the wiki, that would make your wiki an easy target for abuse (as we've seen here). As for abusive behavior, you've allowed a small group of people to gang up and remove a moderator of yours, radically change pages/formats of the wiki via faux democratic votes and have threatened to remove people who don't abide by their standards (like your former moderator)... who is the abusive one here?

Have you thought of vacating your administrator role in favor of someone more available? Swooping in an irregular basis to cast judgment is not an effective way of administrating a wiki.
