[edit] Request Information

Request made by: User:Alofferman
Where is the issue taking place?: Bionic Hand

Who's involved?: User:Alofferman and User:A Man In Black

What's going on?: I created the page Bionic Hand to be more informative on the subject of Anakin and Luke Skywalker's hand. User:A Man In Black saw it fit to redirect my page because he felt it was "cruft"

What would you like to change about that?: I would like my page to be editable again and for User:A Man In Black to be chastized for what he's done.

Would you prefer we work discreetly? If so, how can we reach you?: Whatever is easiest for you.

[edit] Mediator response

Hi, there. Just so you are aware, the Mediation Cabal is an informal process with no official power and is unable to punish editors. I see you opened up another case concerning the same editor - have you made attempts to speak with him about the issue? Usually going ahead and starting a conversation may clear some things up. Thanks. Cowman109^Talk 18:04, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Since I have accepted the Darth Vader one and since these are related I will be handleing this one as well. Æon ^{Insane Ward} 21:28, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion

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.

Talk:Bionic Hand, Talk:Darth Vader, and User talk:A Man In Black are all on my watchlist, and I monitor my watchlist closely. If there's some sort of content dispute, I'd be happy to discuss things whereever is appropriate, but this is the first time I've ever heard of Alofferman. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 20:19, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
