[edit] Request Information
- Request made by: Brianyoumans 09:10, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
- Where is the issue taking place?
- The article Charles de Granville (a brand of French apple liqueur)
- Who's involved?
- user Olive17 (who is an employee or owner of the producing entity) and myself --Brianyoumans 09:18, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
- What's going on?
- In my view, the original article was poorly written and did not have NPOV. I removed most of it, Olive17 replaced it. I have been trying to reason with him, and I thought that my last revision of the article was really quite fair, and probably far more complete than the subject deserves - but he insists on replacing it with his own version (which is better than it used to be, but still not very good.)
Update: It looks like this problem is being solved by deleting the page, and some other pages by Olive17 as well. Thinking it over, I think this is probably a good solution, and therefore mediation probably isn't necessary. --Brianyoumans 09:24, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
- What would you like to change about that?
- Um... persuade him that Wikipedia is not about marketing? Lock my last version of the article in place, if you think it is good? I don't have the time to fight with this guy indefinitely, but I think the principle that Wikipedia is not about marketing should be maintained.
- Would you prefer we work discreetly? If so, how can we reach you?
- You can respond to my talk page, or take it to the Charles de Granville talk page.
[edit] Mediator response
I think this case is likely to remain vacant as the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Charles de Granville appears to be in favor of delete. jbolden1517Talk 11:47, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
The article has been deleted, so I'm closing this case. If any further troubles arise, please file a new request for mediation. Thanks. Cowman109Talk 19:43, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
