[edit] Issues to be mediated

• After making wild accusations about me personally here and marking a page I have edited with AfD here, User:Skaraoke refused to allow the edits I contributed to a page he created here. I have clearly established my interest and expertise in this area via past edits; User:Skaraoke is apparently a new WP user. After a few days of his continued and slanderous attacks, I brought the issue to WP:MEDCAB. After this, User:Skaraoke continued his slanderous accusations, with strong indications that he introduced sockpuppets onto WP. After other editors pointed this out here, User:Skaraoke attacked them on that page, and even on one of their own talk pages. After a day User:Skaraoke took the tag off of School of Education twice, and has now stated that he will not participate in any voluntary mediation process. I understand that this is that, as well; however, I am left without recourse. So my issues are: (1) Personal slander; (2) Edit wars; (3) AfDing a page in retribution for Talk page comments; (4) Attacking other editors, and; (5) Refusal to participate in mediation via the Mediation Cabal. - Freechild 23:31, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Additional issues to be mediated

• The legitimacy of the AfD at this article, which User:Skaraoke introduced in order to attack me personally.

[edit] Parties' agreement to mediate

All parties should sign below, indicating that they agree to mediate the issue. If any party fails to sign, or if a party indicates they do not agree, then the mediation will be rejected. Only signatures and "agree" or "disagree" should appear here; any comments will be removed.

1. Agree. - Freechild 23:31, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
2. Disagree - Skaraoke 02:24, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Decision of the Mediation Committee

Rejected, parties fail to agree to mediation. However, upon looking into it, I feel that both users should take a step back, calm down, and breathe a bit deeper before proceeding. Civil discussion and a some good old assumption of good faith could get this problem resolved and nip it in the bud before it gets out of hand.
