[edit] Request Information

Request made by: DavidBailey 00:23, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
Where is the issue taking place?
Special rights
Who's involved?
Primary Alienus, but also Bhuck.
What's going on?
I have been trying to introduce a non-gay-centric tone into the article, and have had Alienus continually revert my edits. Also, my other attempts to improve the article have consistently been reverted.


What would you like to change about that?
I need some help to work out a NPOV consensus for the article text.
If you'd prefer we work discreetly, how can we reach you?
I am fine with working publicly in the discussion tab. If you need to contact me directly, please send me an email address by writing it in my talk page.
Would you be willing to be a mediator yourself, and accept a mediation assignment in a different case?
Yes
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.

[edit] Mediator response

New mediator needed I have put this case back into the in need of mediators section, hopefully a new mediator will be back here to respond shortly. I believe the discussion was occuring on the talk page of the article in question. Cowman109Talk 22:24, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

I accept this case. All conversation should take place on the talk page thanks. Eagle talk 04:59, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

No activity for more than two weeks. Closing case. --Ideogram 17:04, 21 July 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

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.
