[edit] Request Information

Request made by: 1liberator 04:41, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your attention to this important matter.

Where is the issue taking place?

Kosovo Liberation Army

The issue is my addition to the article titled: "KLA" for Kosovo Liberation Army. Since this is an encyclopedia, I thought we are seeking the Truth. But, there is no word of the Genocide, and crimes against humanity and other war crimes committed by the KLA. I documented my additions with a plethora of evidence from reliable sources like the BBC. Yet, Chris-o always deletes my stuff. I sent him 3 emails asking him to respond, but he is, apparently, so hurt by the Truth that he never emailed me back.

Who's involved?

...

Myself and ChrisO, as he always deletes my additions

What's going on?

...

I do not know, I thought no one is allowed to disparage another person's point of view, especially as mine is 100% true

What would you like to change about that?

...

I would like to start an informal process where we could sit down and email each other on our respective positions, and then enter into a settlement agreement on how to word the KLA article. Right now, it seems like Chris-o and the article are giving material support to terrorists from the KLA by denying my right to represent the Truth.

If you'd prefer we work discreetly, how can we reach you?

...

Please email me

Would you be willing to mediate yourself and accept an assignment as a mediator?

...

Yes, absolutely, but I fear that Chris-o will not listen. Please look up the page for his proper name-spelling. Also please allow me to edit the page again.

Thank you once again for all your trouble!

1liberator:

please log in under your user name, then check your User page and your User Talk page. there are links for those on the taskbar of every Wikipedia page you visit, as soon as you log in to your account — the fist link will say '1liberator' and the second link will say 'My Talk'. After that, please go to the KLA article page, and click on the tab that says 'discussion' ( here's a link to it, for convenience: talk page). you can talk directly to the other editors by editing this page.

please remember to always sign and date your name in the talk pages. you can do that by typing ~~~~ at the end of your posts.

resolved

this case was primarily a misunderstanding of wikipedia policy and some of the technical issues of editing and communication. the issues were resolved, and both parties seem to be cooperating at this time. Ted 00:07, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Comments by others

1liberator is willing to mediate in another case. The misunderstanding about the "Would you be willing to mediate?" question was resolved. --Fasten 15:37, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
