[edit] Request Information
- Request made by: Suisse2007 14:01, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
- Where is the issue taking place?
- ... 2 days ago I inserted an external link i.e. the World Wide Web Virtual Library - Malaysia a.k.a. WWW VL Malaysia to the page on Malaysia. The WWW VL Malaysia is a project presently overseen by W3C. The link was removed without any explanations or reasons proper. When I complained about this on the Talk page. The person responsible refused to reply or address the issue.
- Who's involved?
- ...I believe it's a user or editor named __earth
- What's going on?
- ...The user or editor in question seems to treat the page on Malaysia as his personal property. This is contrary to the spirit & purpose of Wikipedia.
- What would you like to change about that?
- ...To maintain the independence & neutrality of information posted without encountering arbitrary deletion or censorship.
- Would you prefer we work discreetly? If so, how can we reach you?
- ...You may email me at: geneva21@gmail.com
[edit] Mediator response
- I'm closing this mediation because another has been started up here. Thanks. —Xyrael / 11:05, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion
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.
Please take this to User talk:Earth, and discuss in a civil manner a possible comprimise. If this fails, then come back to MedCab. Thanks, Daniel.Bryant 11:08, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
- There is an existing discussion on this between the complainant and me at the Talk:Malaysia page (see under removed link). I have stated my own support for the deletion of the external link and the rationale for it. I participated in this discussion because I also have removed the link in an earlier edit. -- Bob K 17:13, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
