I fixed some spelling in the Maemo artcle. I'm registered, but I don't sign in for minor correx I find.

I thought he had said something to the effect that the inept way we were hacking the article proved we weren't PR pros?

I dunno, maybe he changed his mind. I can't really bring myself to read his nonsense closely. :\
i. It doesn't quite say that, and given the obvious effort to put in spin into the article discussed above (often showing a very professional level of PR writing...) this requires disambiguation.
Man, he is quick with the vandalism charge. None of what has gone on has constituted vandalism. Using editors to push your viewpoint is certainly an impressive tactic.

Not only has he completely re-added his nonsense, he has totally reworded the discussion page.

Which, actually, reading the wikipedia:vandalism page, technically constitutes vandalism.

Yes, his comments on PR were contradictory, I noticed that too. He claims you have a stake because of money or emotion, but his comments show that he has a big emotional stake -- they are filled with typos and sometimes completely don't make sense. This indicates that he is writing quickly and not rereading, or simply doesn't know English well.

I reverted the damage only to have him tag me as a Vandal too despite clearly stating my reasons for removing and reverting the text. I have given up and added the original research tag since this is nothing more than a rant against native code and/or cell phone attached compting and since NONE of the NIT's even have phone hardware I'm having a hard time understanding how this relates to maemo.

I believe johnx had the right idea. Let him play out his power trip for a week or two and fix it once he's gotten it out of his system.

Does this mean we get to go sack Rome?

Unfortunately one of the problems with a user contributed encyclopedia is always going to be that someone with an axe to grind, or a problem understanding really simple logic is going to add things as they feel they have something to add.
I doubt he would get bored of it, as noone else believes him anywhere, so I guess he needs a soapbox for his ramblings.
I was going to add a change or a request for citation to his 'most mobile platforms' bit to point out that most mobile platforms don't have any restrictions so maybe it would be nice to know what the 'most platforms' means but I don't know if it is worth arguing with the hard of thinking.
