What's the Absolute Best Way to Deal with Renegade Editors at Wikipedia?

You know the type, the ones who refuse to accept new information and consistently delete your entries.

You need to tag the article as needing a dispute resolution. Edit the article and place {{3O}} at the top. This will place the template you'll see here

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:3O

at the top of the page. It will put the article into a category where other editors will see and they can put their two cents in. MAKE SURE you post a piece on the talk page describing the changes you're arguing about.

Really show them up by doing something novel... like... getting a LIFE?

Only thing I have been able to think of is. Trace the people who are responsible for it. Find their pet articles that they are writing. Then start deleting the hell out of them. See how they like seeing their work go down the drain. Maybe it will at least keep them busy restoring, instead of deleting.

I agree the way the site is now. It's worthless.
