[edit] Request Information

Request made by: Dr. Ke 20:45, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
Where is the issue taking place?
YTMND article talk
Who's involved?
Me and a YTMND administrator(Fyrestorm)
What's going on?
He feels that the YTMND section doesn't belong in the article, I have added a disputed tag and told him why it does, but he refuses to work with me and demands the deletion of the entire section
What would you like to change about that?
I would like to be able to work towards modifying the section(if necessary) to make it appropriate for the article(again, if necessary)
If you'd prefer we work discreetly, how can we reach you?
...
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.
maybe at some point

[edit] Mediator response

Closing out. The content under discussion has no 3rd party information at all. The entire article may fall under not notable in terms of a website.

Moreover the entire discussion is about a one time incident. My strong recommendation is to delete the section in question along with a reworking of most of the article.

[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

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.
