[edit] Request Information

Request made by: Kingdoms united 2004 04:09, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

Where is the issue taking place?

...The Feminem.com talk page

Who's involved?

...InShaneee

What's going on?

...Myself and InShaneee gotten into a dispute over an article he considers to violate the NPOV policy. Brad V. got involved, flamed and got banned from editing for however long. I would like to do my best to improve the related article, but when I asked InShaneee what violated the NPOV rule, he keeps blanking out my questions. I also now realise I violated the 3 revert rule in which I kind of got caught up in the moment with. :(

What would you like to change about that?

...I would like to know why he voted the feminem.com article as a violation of the NPOV rule. And thereon better it

If you'd prefer we work discreetly, how can we reach you?

...I'd rather be more bothered about why InShaneee is bearing his teeth rather than posting constructive criticism.

Hi -- you may want to wait for a bit until the AfD on the article is finished. My feeling is that it will probably be deleted because it (IMO) does not satisfy WP:WEB; since I've voted on the AfD I probably shouldn't be the mediator, but presumably someone will volunteer if the article survives the AfD discussion (should be done in a few days.)

Which is why I wanted to know what was wrong with the article in the first place. A lot of work went into creating it, and it would be a shame to see it vanish in a puff of smoke because it doesn't conform to the policies.--Kingdoms united 2004 04:37, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mediator response

Note left on talk page to the effect that the mediation will be closed until conclusion of the AfD. - FrancisTyers 19:27, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

OK, the article was deleted, so I'll close this out. Sdedeo (tips) 05:15, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
