Battle of Stalingrad - casualties
This is the first time I ever have to do that, but I dont know how to proceed, I never have taken someone to some official institituion like ANI or whatever. I have a problem with an editor at the Battle of Stalingrad article. It is about the casualties. The section was already badly sourced beforehand, numbers have been changed over the years and no clarification regarding scope or time about the given numbers have been made. A new editor has now stepped in and #1 changed the context of some of the sourced numbers and #2 added some strange numbers from dubious sources. I somehow rewrote the article using some reliable sources available to me (Beevor, Ziemke, Glantz etc.), while taking everything badly sourced out. He is simply constantly reverting me. The discussion there is now going back and forth without much progress and he somehow refuses to understand problems with his edits and sources. I have pointed the issues numerous times out and it gets exhausting. His version is atm up, I have not reverted him. Key issues: I rewrote the article and added new sources, removing all dubious and worked in the sources I have. He simply reverted it. This is my version. I don't know what to there, he is simply reverting me all the time because of "talkpage", but all the time he refuses to understand the isses with his edits and tries to distract with different issues. Can somebody help me there, or should I take this to a different institution (ANI, RFC?)?
 * He repeatly tries to insert a claim of 1,5 million German casualties for the battle. his source is a Russian webpage, a non working link to a Russia today article and a ref to Overys 2004 book, which he simply copied from elewhere from the article (no page is given). I couldnt find the number in Overys book anway. He also trys to sneak this Russian webpage into other parts of the article to claim in return that it is already used and therefore reliable.
 * He changed the meaning of already written statement:
 * 850,000 Axis casualties for the whole Battle of Stalingrad was changed to 850,000 Axis casualties just in the city
 * Axis material losses of xxx tanks, planes (sourced to Bergstroem, dunno if Bergstroem realy has tank losses too in his Luftwaffe book) was changed to "German material losses" so he now claims Hungarian, Italian, Romanian material losses are missng
 * Soviet captured equipment (sourced to some Soviet report of the battle) are "addtional losses" to the figures given by Bergstroem (which is a bad assumption, imo)
