[edit] Enough. I am done.

What I thought would be a fun and informative exercise has turned into a chore. Like I was in grad school. "Do this the way we say." I am not naive about how Wikipedia works. But I never guessed that collaboration would mean hijacking. I hope my next experience with Wikipedia will be better. But it will be a long time before I contribute anything to this resource on a light-opera related topic.

There are those who are dying to edit (=restructure) this page. They can have it. I went in this evening and fleshed out the references. That's it. That's all. Do what you want. I am done. C.

[edit] I had promised myself I wouldn't care

... But the hijackers have gone ahead and put up false and misleading information that is really and honestly and truly irksome. The hijackers have accused me of being a "bull in a china shop" by daring to create my own page without their dispensation and thereby threatening the delicate little Wikipedia world they have cobbled together. They think nothing of the bullish way they rooted around in a page on a subject they publicly admitted not wanting to fool around with -- which instead they did, less than 48 hours after it had gone public. And now, less than 12 hours after I relinquish my interest in the page, here they are again. Whose bullish now, I wonder?

And the loser in all this? Mirette.

Good-bye. I am done. C

If something is inaccurate in a Wikipedia article that is of interest to you, simply correct it. See WP:GF. -- Ssilvers 17:37, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

...I'm not sure I follow. All I'm seeing is a few minor requests and a bit of rearranging of material. What, exactly, is wrong here? Adam Cuerden ^talk 04:33, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
