[edit] Request Information

Request made by: Payneos 18:18, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
Where is the issue taking place?
The Howard Stern Article.
Who's involved?
Myself and MGlosenger
What's going on?
Somewhat of a revert war. MGlosenger seems to think the article in question, involving an enemy of the Howard Stern Show, Opie & Anthony, should not be included, despite cited proof I have found to the contrary. He seems to think I have an agenda, and while I do enjoy Opie & Anthony, I do not let such bias get in the way of my edits.
What would you like to change about that?
I'd much prefer if we could find a way to work the article in in some form that states how Opie & Anthony are enemies and the gag order Howard Stern had placed on them. If it's not realistic, then I'll change my mind, but as of now I feel it is.
If you'd prefer we work discreetly, how can we reach you?
gdigen56@hotmail.com but Discrection seems to be a bad idea in this case as of right now.
Would you be willing to be a mediator yourself, and accept a mediation assignment in a different case?
This is, following the Categorical Imperative, the idea that you might want to do
what you expect others to do. You don't have to, of course, that's why it's a question.
Sure, couldn't hurt.

[edit] Mediator response

Page has been protected, discussion has been going on in the talk page to settle things. There appears to be no need for mediation. Case closed. If you still have any problems feel free to leave a note here and I'll re-open the case. Cowman109Talk 19:43, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Evidence

Please report evidence in this section with {{Wikipedia:Mediation_Cabal/Evidence}} for misconduct and {{Wikipedia:Mediation_Cabal/Evidence3RR}} for 3RR violations. If you need help ask a mediator or an advocate. Evidence is of limited use in mediation as the mediator has no authority. Providing some evidence may, however, be useful in making both sides act more civil.
Wikipedia:Etiquette: Although it's understandably difficult in a heated argument, if the other party is not as civil as you'd like them to be, make sure to be more civil than him or her, not less.

[edit] Compromise offers

This section is for listing and discussing compromise offers.


[edit] Comments by others
