This message is stuck in my Quest Log and will not be complete. Will turning in another Quest (like The Wolf Queen Awaken) help take this bug away?
I'd hate to have to use a Console, I'm afraid of repercussions.. help

I apparently helped 5 people of Haafingar (Solitude) before completing The Man Who Cried Wolf. After turning that in, Elisif the Fair sent me to the Shrine of Talos. After I completed that & talked to her about becoming a Thane, this quest was added to my Log and would not go away. I have yet to talk to Styrr and start The Wolf Queen Awaken nor have I talk to Sybille Stentor for a quest to clear Pinemoon Cave. Will completing one of those after talking about becoming a Thane solve the issue? or should I complete those before talking to her? I don't know what to do now..

The Wiki (http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Thane_of_Haafingar) said to "select a NPC in Solitude and enter the console command 'setRelationshipRank player 2' This should update the quest 6/5 and change its status to complete". Can I just actually complete a quest for other people instead?
