This is utterly false.
There was already an existing article at [[Joaquin Phoenix]].
Marine69-71 created a new article at [[Joaqui'n Phoenix]] (the "i" was accented, I can't reproduce it here) with no new material that did not already exist at the current page. I redirected the page to the existing page. Marine then undid the redirection and continued to edit the page. I wrote on his talk page that there was already a page and he should edit that, and restored the redirection. He ignored my comment on his talk page, and then MOVED [[Joaqui'n Phoenix]] to [[Joaquin Phoenix (Actor)]] and continued to edit there. I again explained to him that there was already an article and to please edit there, and he once again ignored me. I changed the move back to a redirect and edited the Actor page to a redirect as well, which he then proceeded to unredirect and continue to edit. I said for the THIRD time on his talk page that he needed to stop doing what he was doing, re-edited the Actor page to a redirect, and when he undid the redirect and continued to edit again, in a HIGHLY POV style, I blocked him and fixed the redirects again.
How am I supposed to find a "compromise solution" when the other person refuses to discuss it?

Antonio, since you're a sysop you can unblock yourself. Make a note of the IP that is blocked (the message you get when you try to edit will tell you this). Then go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Ipblocklist, find that IP and click the "unblock" link next to it.
I expect the reason you are blocked is because you share an IP with an AOL vandal.
Well, according to the block log, the reason he was blocked is because he shares an IP with his father, who was blocked for "repeatedly recreating duplictate article despite repeated requests to stop."
There's something wrong in the tone of that response. I have not looked at the article but I do understand that it was a biographical article, and the dispute was over whether the person's middle name should appear in the title of the article. The reference to "repeated requests to stop" suggests that the person making those requests was operating on the premise that the existing article was absolutely correct. What attempts did that person make to find a compromise solution?
