[edit] Circumcision Advocacy

I have protected the page in an effort to get you two to discuss it, and a mediator may have a look at it if assistance is needed. Redwolf24 (talk) 23:50, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Talk:Circumcision

You have written that you were interested in reading my contributions. I have created an overhauled article that fixes the major issues that I percieved, namely, lack of flow, structure, and npov. I have started an RFC on the issue already. I perceive you as a balanced editor, I am interested in reading your assessment of my article, be it praise or criticism.

[edit] Medical analysis of circumcision

It's my conclusion that no mention of CA-MRSA will be allowed under any condition. Likewise, the issue of bleeding in babies with undiagnosed coagulation issues has been censored repeatedly and will not be allowed. There is a group of like-minded admins that ensures this and bans anyone who gets in their way. See my talk page for examples. Alienus 10:33, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

I told you so. Alienus 16:32, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

You might be interested in the events at User:Jakew/Alienus_RFC, or not. Up to you. Alienus 17:59, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for weighing in. I do have one suggestion. I notice that, after acknowledging what you consider to be unacceptable incivility (presumably by me, though you might have meant others), you go on to describe some rather nasty tricks that some (unspecified) people use to get their way. I wonder if you might be willing to be more specific about who is doing what. If you mean me, please say so. If you mean someone else, likewise. Anyhow, that's my suggestion.

[edit] RFM

A request for mediation has been filed with the Mediation Committee that lists you as a party. The Mediation Committee requires that all parties listed in a mediation must be notified of the mediation. Please review the request at Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Medical analysis of circumcision, and indicate whether you agree or refuse to mediate. If you are unfamiliar with mediation, please refer to Wikipedia:Mediation. There are only seven days for everyone to agree, so please check as soon as possible.

[edit] Circumcision advocacy

I've just started reading this article and researching on google. I have not found anything to justify this term as an article as I have only found it as a non capitalised description of a point of view (this is in contrast to terms such as Pro-life). To be honest circumcision advocacy seems no more of a separate term than chocolate lover or tennis enthusiast. From what I have seen so far I would want to nominate this article for deletion (or better still redirect it to Circumcision#Cultures and religions which explains the reasons why circumcision takes place). You seemed to be the person most in favour of keeping the article last time so I would like to know what you think of this. Sophia Gilraen of Dorthonion 16:37, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

I appreciate the warning and I will bear it in mind. IMHO I have not found external justificaion for this article - but I may have missed something so please point me in the right direction. Sophia Gilraen of Dorthonion 22:04, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
I took your comment as well meant. I'm aware that everyone has a POV and I have made it clear on the talk page that personally I do not support non-medically required circumcision. You have valid points but POV forking off to dilute the debate won't help. Circumcision and it's directly related articles are where these issues should be addressed. I genuinely don't see the justification for Circumcision advocacy and feel that it's clouding the issue. The info you have added should be in the main articles. SophiaGilraen of Dorthonion 23:14, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
I sooo agree.I will also defend to the death a NPOV stance on the circumcision page so hopefully we can constructively work together to merge the contents in without loss of important material. I'm a veteran of the 'ol "off topic" and OR/RS fights from Christianity pages so I'm aware of the issues and will be reading up carefully to make sure all the evidence gets a NPOV place in the main article.

[edit] Mediation

Hi, I'm going to be mediating your case, regarding the Medical analysis of circumcision.

The mediation will take place here. If you are planning to take a wiki-break in the near-future or will be unable to partcipate in the mediation could you please let me know. --Wisden17 19:05, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mediation News

I've now added my initial questions and comments on this page. I would ask that you add this page to your watchlist, as this will be where the mediation will take place.

As I've said on the page, we must keep all debate Civil, and I will not tolerate any personal attacks. In order to resolve the issue all of you must be willing to listen to each other's view. It does appear that you have debated this issue qutie extensively already, and so if we are to achieve anything we must not keep repeating what has already been said, although reference may well be needed back to previous comments you have made.

If you have any questions or comments then please either e-mail me or leave a message on my talk page. Again if you are planning to take a Wikibreak, or know you will be unable to access Wikipedia for any length of time then please do infrom me.

I look forward to working with you. --Wisden17 20:24, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Help in the Circ

I've been trying to make corrections, which you can see here [1] #22 and after.

Mostly I'd like you to help when I write a new sexual effects intro and new text to the main body. I'll be back for that in about a week.TipPt 22:04, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Careful with pushing non-neutral POV's

Your recent edit to Circumcision was not cast in a neutral voice, but blantantly anti-metzitzah. Firstly there has been no evidence linking the death of the NY infants with the mohel. Secondly, Phil Sherman is in no way shape or form a notable mohel. Try Paysach Krohn if you want to find someone who has done something, I believe, over 5,000 brisim. Next, casting the decision as "political" is at most your opinion, and that is not apparent from the article, if you read it. Please be careful with WP:OR and WP:NPOV in wikipedia in general, and very careful with potentially contentious articles. Thank you. -- Avi 23:57, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
