[edit] Request Information

Request made by: Potters house 01:35, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
Where is the issue taking place?
James I of England
Who's involved?
Potters house and Engleham.
What's going on?
I have provided some facts and refs stating that not 'everyone' claims that King James was a homosexual. I tried to keep the article as neutral as possible and provide facts.
Engleham seems to be obsessed with claims that Royals were homosexuals http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ludwig_II_of_Bavaria&diff=35759501&oldid=35670601 and many, many others see: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&limit=50&target=Engleham
What would you like to change about that?
I have tried to talk with him but he is very defensive. I hope that we can have a compromise but at best I hope that my portion of the article remains, although needs a little cleaning. Also I can understand that he is a minority and would face people who disagree with his POV but I am just trying to stick with the facts. Best to read the Talk on James 1 page : Talk:James_I_of_England
Would you prefer we work discreetly? If so, how can we reach you?
I don't mind either way. Best to talk on my user page talk: User_talk:Potters_house
