Yeah. Newbies who start being procedural obsessives are
difficult to
deal with in general. Put six tags on an article, obsessively check
all PRODs you've ever placed and AFD *any* that someone just removes,
etc., etc.
Well this is precisely what happened to me. Things got nasty with a
newly-minted admin decided to take the newbie under his wing, and started
reverting. *sigh* Well, water under the bridge really.
But David, I was wondering if you would consider starting an article on
"procedural obsessives"? It seems that simply pointing people towards such
an article would be a much more neutral way to deal with it than posting a
personal message on their talk page. THAT can easily be misinterpreted as
someone trying to protect "their" article.
