[edit] What is the involved article(s)?

Russians in Ukraine

[edit] What's going on?

A passage has been added to the article linking Volhynia massacre of Poles during WWII to the number of ethnic Russians in that region (currently only 2.4%). The other editor inserted it purely as a revenge for other edit in violation of WP:POINT (admitted it on record here) and wants to tie this issue to others using it as a leverage.

[edit] What would you like to change about that?

Would like to treat issues separately by proving their relevance to the case individually and remove this highly controversial and unsubstantiated passage.

[edit] Mediator response

Before we proceed with mediation, I would like to see Kuban Kazak's point of view. I have asked him to comment. (messedrockertalk) 03:03, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

I will write a proper statement, but it will be lengthy, so please have patience. --Kuban Cossack 17:45, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
Four days, no statement? — Alex(U|C|E) 05:03, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
Yes, no statement, right now I am not involved with Russians in Ukraine besides Alaexis did a good clean-up and I am more or less satisfied with the overall appearance of the article's present state. A few minor issues to settle, but hopefully all in good time. And there will be a statement when I get round to writing one, some of us do have busy lives in addition to wikipedia. --Kuban Cossack 16:21, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
