[edit] French accent

- Status: New request
- Where is the issue taking place?
- French section of non-native pronunciations of English
- What's going on?
- An edit war. He and I disagree about edits that he insists on including. His original inclusion had some edits that I agreed with and others that I did not; I kept the ones I agreed with and the ones I didn’t I removed. He put them back in and although we exchanged a few messages to outline our points, he stopped the discussion when I moved the discussion to the talk page and continued placing his edits in even though I have reverted them and asked him to build a consensus before including his changes.
- What would you like to change about that?
- I have asked him to either build a consensus, provide some sort of adequate source for his edits (he says he is his own source but knows of many sources), or refrain from including the edits that I have been reverting. This is only on the factual statements that he includes. There is also an issue of the way his edits describe the features that I believe unnecessarily describes accent features as absolutes rather than tendencies and I would rather his edits conform in style to the rest of the article.
- If you'd prefer we work discreetly, how can we reach you?
- You don't need to work discreetly.

Reviewing the page history suggests that the issue is over with now, so closing (let me know if I'm wrong) Dan100 (Talk) 15:23, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
