Sorry to get involved in a personal dispute, but Wildoneshelper had come to Community Central asking for help in this matter and I want to help out.

It seems the problem between you two is one of communication. What Wildoneshelper would like to know is the reasoning behind the protection of several pages, and it seems, from what I can see, that opening up a forum post or something to discuss level difficulty would help settle these arguments, especially with such a subjective piece of information (honestly, if I were you, I'd get rid of it all together because of the difficulty in administering subjective, unsourcable pieces of information, or use a poll instead so readers can see how different people found the level as not everyone's experience is going to be the same). Do you think you could maybe send Wildoneshelper a message, either on his message wall here or on this Community Central forum post explaining why exactly you disagree with his opinions for the difficulty level and giving your reasons for why it should be as it is, and then let him have a chance to explain his reasoning (hopefully in a calmer manner) and maybe you two can come to a compromise. This user really does genuinely seem to want to help out, but he just doesn't seem to be very good at discussing his editing, something needed to work in a cooperative environment. One of you has to be the better person and open up a dialogue so things can get done. I really hope you take this advice.

He would also like to know why you deleted his sandbox. As a general practice on wikis I've seen, sandboxes made as subpages of user pages are usually left alone for that user to do as they wish with them as they don't impact any other pages and can help that user practice editing. Is there a reasoning behind this deletion, or is it maybe a misunderstanding? Either way, it would probably be a good idea to talk with this user about it.

Remember with a wiki, communication is key. If you guys don't talk this out calmly and controlled, you're never going to reconcile your feelings towards each other in a way which will allow you to both keep on editing together happily.
