[edit] Request Information

Request made by: MaxMangel 01:03, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
Where is the issue taking place?
In the article called Jane Roberts
Who's involved?
User:Caleb Murdock
And myself
What's going on?
The new user, Caleb, although in his own way is trying to improve the article, is either ignorant or uncaring as to rules such as WP:NOR, WP:V, WP:NPOV, WP:NPA,WP:AGF and probably others. He is currently reverting my changes without citing any reason. He has stated he is 'no longer negotiating' with me. He claims I am not qualified to edit the article. On the discussion page he makes personal attacks rather than reasonable attempts at dispute resolution. His edits are biased. He is essentially a big fan of Jane Roberts and so is put offside that I'm trying to add criticism. The discussion and evidence of this is on the Talk page.
What would you like to change about that?
He needs to be shown that he is breaking a number of wikipedia rules. If he can be taught to edit properly then he may be a useful editer. A mentorship might help. It might help if he were blocked for a time so that he can learn what he is doing is wrong.
Would you prefer we work discreetly? If so, how can we reach you?
No, he needs to be contacted by people other than me. I would like someone to contact him and be very clear about where he is going wrong.

Thanks for any help.

[edit] Mediator response

Prepared to assist. Grobertson 23:13, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Please:

  • Don't make personal attacks. Even if you think another editor's mother is the stupidest whore ever to violate a zoning ordinance with her beach towel, don't say so. It doesn't help ;)
  • Indent comments with colons, so it's easy to see who said what.
  • Sign comments by going ~~~~ at the end.
