[edit] Request Information

Request made by: Syberghost 21:10, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
Where is the issue taking place?
...The Ann Coulter article and its talk page.
Who's involved?
...Amibidhrohi, myself, and several other users.
What's going on?
...Amibidhrohi wishes to rename the "Controversial statements about Arabs and Muslims" section to "Racist statements about Arabs and Muslims".
What would you like to change about that?
...I'd like it to remain as-is, and have him merely flesh out that section or, if he has enough material, create a new section.
If you'd prefer we work discreetly, how can we reach you?
...I'm fine with openness on this issue. If necessary, syberghost@gmail.com, but my talk page or that of the article is fine.
Would you be willing to be a mediator yourself, and accept a mediation assignment in a different case?
This is, following the Categorical Imperative, the idea that you might want to do
what you expect others to do. You don't have to, of course, that's why it's a question.
... Not at this time.

[edit] Mediator response

[edit] Evidence

Please report evidence in this section with {{Wikipedia:Mediation_Cabal/Evidence}} for misconduct and {{Wikipedia:Mediation_Cabal/Evidence3RR}} for 3RR violations. If you need help ask a mediator or an advocate. Evidence is of limited use in mediation as the mediator has no authority. Providing some evidence may, however, be useful in making both sides act more civil.
Wikipedia:Etiquette: Although it's understandably difficult in a heated argument, if the other party is not as civil as you'd like them to be, make sure to be more civil than him or her, not less.

[edit] Compromise offers

This section is for listing and discussing compromise offers.


[edit] Comments by others

While using the talk page of the article in question to solve a dispute is encouraged to involve a larger audience, feel free to discuss the case below if that is not possible. Other mediators are also encouraged to join in on the discussion as Wikipedia is based on consensus.


[edit] Discussion

While I was filing this, he took the approach I was suggesting. Unsure how to withdraw this request. -Syberghost 21:15, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

it may need intervention anyway; another user has reverted that approach too. My own complaint is not currently active, however. -Syberghost 21:55, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
