[edit] Request Information

Request made by: Tim Smith 22:46, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
Where is the issue taking place?
At Uncommon Dissent.
Who's involved?
FeloniousMonk, Guettarda, myself, and to a lesser extent other editors at the article.
What's going on?
During the last month and a half, users have removed citation requests, reverted to unsourced claims, reversed uncontroversial changes, reverted without discussion, failed to assume good faith, exhibited incivility, and are now removing dispute tags.
What would you like to change about that?
I'd like the users to avoid breaches of Wikiquette and engage constructively so that we can work together to bring the article into compliance with WP:V and WP:NPOV.
Would you prefer we work discreetly? If so, how can we reach you?
On my talk page is fine.

[edit] Mediator response

We can't really force them to discuss. Once you get them talking to you, we can mediate. If you can't do that, I will have to close this case. --Ideogram 02:00, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

I move to close the case. TheRingess (talk) 19:42, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
Closing. --Ideogram 20:02, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
