Rick,
How
could you have compromised with the stubborn Marine?
First,
please re-read [[Wikipedia:Don't bite the newbies]].
Second, stop being a "giant prick" and go do something else for an hour.
Or help edit the "(actor)" page, and when you're BOTH done, do
this:
(a)
delete the original (untouched) Phoenix article (edit summary: to make room for
a redirect)
(b)
rename, i.e., "MOVE" the "(actor)" article to Phoenix.
After
the dust settles, you can leave a nice, polite, friendly note at the newbie's
page explaining that we only need one article, and that we only append things
like "(actor)" when we need to distinguish between two similar
things.
That
way, you make a friend -- instead of pissing someone off.
