Charlesxavier

[edit]

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)

The First Battle of Gotem

[edit]

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.

The Second Battle of Gotem

[edit]

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.

Comparison to The First Battle of Gotem

[edit]

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
