You know, you can easily write your battle on a blog their is literally nothing stopping you from writing it on a blog, seriously dude...it isn't that hard to do.

As for why because if you made another page of that same exact battle except it had your content on it, that'd more or less be pointless and would be a duplicate page which is apart of the guidelines of this wikia, when you can easily use a tabber on that same exact page and make your own version on one of those tabbers which more or less makes creating a second version on that same exact page and makes making a second page of that same fight useless.

Also if someone makes a page before another user, the full rule states the follow

21. When considering to work on a What-If? Death Battle already owned, consider these: Meaning if someone wants to make their own version of a fight owned by someone else, they can easily just ask them if they can make their own version using a tabber which is more or less an easy solution, if they say no then you can wait for them to complete their version and then you can give the original owner of that a Notice saying that your making your own version or as I stated above they can easily make the fight on a blog and have their own version of it without having to share it on the same page with a tabber.
 * If a fight is owned by an active user, and it is incomplete, you would have to ask for permission to create an alternate version
 * If a fight is owned by an active user, and it is complete, Free Access would be implemented. HOWEVER, it is required to give a notice to the user (via Message Wall) before doing anything to the page
 * The fight must be completed for seven days in order to implement Free Access. Otherwise, ask for permission
 * If a fight is owned by an INACTIVE (Has not logged onto DBF Wiki for at least 6 months) user, and it is incomplete, Free Access would be implemented. If the inactive user has been absent for over 12 months, then you are eligible to remove their category if you so desire.

Also if you looked at #2 of the Rules &amp; Guidelines it says:

"2. Please don't leave new pages blank and unorganized. You don't have to complete them in a day, but if you're going to add them to the Wiki, please be sure to work on them yourself and not just wait for someone else to work on them for you. Any blank or unorganized pages will likely be deleted."

Gia doesn't have to make the fight the moment he creates the page and something that some of the users (Myself Included) like to do is make seasons for the battles we right and make line-ups for those seasons which is something that users are allowed to do if they so chose to also.

Honestly all of that said it comes back to what I mentioned in the beginning or what I mentioned after showing that specific rule. Either make the fight on a blog post which is honestly in my opinion VERY easy to do and it's not in any violation of the rule or you wait for Gia to respond to your message and if he says "Yes, you can make your own version" add a Tabber to the page and work on your version to your hearts content.
