Shock and Awe

Hi. Firstly, thanks a lot for taking your content disputes to talk pages and not making things worse with unilateral or edit war-type behaviour. If everyone did what you have just done, this encyclopaedia would function a lot better; so thanks. Also, please do not hesitate to contact any user via his/her talk page, and do not worry that you are "new". Indeed, there is a whole policy all about being nice to new editors! So again, don't be discouraged.

Onto your concern. From what I can see, both of you have a case. I do not know enough about the minutiae of military tactical terminology, and as such whether or not it is a "doctrine" is not really my area of expertise. The redirect did seem a little hasty, though, and if you can find more stuff for the page (it was a little spartan before, but I am sure it can be bulked out), then by all means remove the redirect. Being bold is a central editing policy, so go for it.

If I were you, I would contact User:JW1805 via his talk page with your concerns, laid out as politely as you did on my talk page, and see what he has to say. If he does dismiss you for being "new", or even tries to block you or any other punitive action, then contact me again, and I will weigh in. As it is now, you seem to know what you are talking about, so I leave the dispute with you unless you feel you need more help. Any questions, contact me on my talk page again. Happy editing!

Thank you for your response. I realize that most editors at Wikipedia would listen to others who disagree with them, but it appears that JW1805 often accuses people of being sockpuppets, has them banned, and they have to write letters to try to prove their innocence. Looking at his logs, sometimes these people are unbanned and JW1805 admits his paranoia, but I don't want to have to go through that hassle, and it looks like many other people don't want to either. Here are a few of the people he has successfully labeled a sockpuppet with nothing as evidence except their edit history, which shows only that they disagreed with JW1805:
I don't want to become the next "sockpuppet or impersonator of Zephram Stark," so I'm not going to openly disagree with JW1805 by myself. Still, I appreciate your feedback on my proposal. Thank you. --Larnue the dormouse 20:57, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
