[edit] Request Information
- Request made by: Lord Metroid 18:01, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
- Where is the issue taking place?
- Anarchy related pages, see below for more specific information.
- Who's involved?
- User:Chuck0 has been warned for writing personal attacks on various talk pages including his own talk page done in association with the revert and edit wars between User:Chuck0 and User:Anarcho-capitalism in the Anarchism in the United States and Social anarchism articles, waged on the claim from User:Chuck0 that anarcho-capitalism isn't a form of anarchism argumented by the counter claim from User:Anarcho-capitalism that it is a form of anarchy.
- Furthermore the above is a mere incident in a greater whole. Endless philosophical debates that don't present any new arguments are being written all over the anarchy related talk pages regarding the disagreement on whether or not anarcho-capitalism are to be represented among anarchy related articles based on viewpoints from a great number of users debating such in articles like Talk:Anarchism and anarcho-capitalism, Talk:Anarchism and Portal talk:Anarchism addition to the above.
- What's going on?
- It has, from what I can distinguish, became a situation with no ending in sight, making every anarchy page on wikipedia a battlefield between people of either the viewpoint that anarcho-capitalism is an anarchy and should be presented on various appropiate anarchy articles or those who don't think it is an anarchy and it shouldn't be represented on anarchy articles. Many people including me have become involved in this battle of what can probably be seen as POV pushing from both sides because of the obvious bias. People can not let go of the strong emotions that politics in the same way religion brings forward and which have become a problem for further editing articles.
- What would you like to change about that?
- I am seeking help to resolve this situation where users on both sides of the dispute refuses to accept and/or acknowledge sources the other side presents and conduct their manners accordingly. Arbitration from 3rd party is obviously the needed factor to help settle what sources and how to further develop the articles in the future.
- Would you prefer we work discreetly? If so, how can we reach you?
- I leave it up to you to decide what the situation demands. Can always contact me by User talk:Lordmetroid

[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.
- As I've added before in a few other small places, User:Anarcho-capitalism has plenty of sources to back up the "Anarcho-Capitalism is a form of Anarchism" claim. Fephisto 03:46, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
