[edit] Charlesxavier
A defender of Gotem in the real world, Charlesxavier was called to arms twice by the pro-Gotem army of Wikipedia. He has seen two tours duty, first in the Speech campaign and now in the Belgium campaign. Charlesxavier is a decorated veteran of the Battles of Gotem. (See contributions)
[edit] The First Battle of Gotem
Due to the lack of adequate firepower and size, the pro-Gotem forces were overrun in this 11-day battle. In retrospect, defending Gotem(speech) was a difficult task for the pro-Gotem forces due to the technical difficulties with its content. The AfD discussion quickly elevated into one of personal attacks, including the accusation of sockpuppeting.
[edit] The Second Battle of Gotem
As a result of the deletion of the original Gotem article (which had 2 years of history) by Gurch, an attempt was made by pro-Gotem forces to re-establish a stronghold at the Gotem page to prevent further losses incurred approximately one year prior in The First Battle of Gotem. In a futile attempt by anti-Gotem forces, Fram hit Gotem with a speedy deletion and then beseiged it with AfD.
By the 3rd day of the AfD, the opposition forces led by Fram backed down, replaced by a certain Pan Gerwazy.
[edit] Comparison to The First Battle of Gotem
The position of the pro-Gotem forces in Second Battle is stronger for the following reasons:
- Legitimacy of the article subject
- Size advantage
- Support from administrators and veteran Wikipedians
