[edit] Issues to be mediated

• After making wild accusations about me personally here and marking a page I have edited with AfD here, User:Skaraoke refused to allow the edits I contributed to a page he created here. I have clearly established my interest and expertise in this area via past edits; User:Skaraoke is apparently a new WP user. After a few days of his continued and slanderous attacks, I brought the issue to WP:MEDCAB. After this, User:Skaraoke continued his slanderous accusations, with strong indications that he introduced sockpuppets onto WP. After other editors pointed this out here, User:Skaraoke attacked them on that page, and even on one of their own talk pages. After a day User:Skaraoke took the tag off of School of Education twice, and has now stated that he will not participate in any voluntary mediation process. I understand that this is that, as well; however, I am left without recourse. So my issues are: (1) Personal slander; (2) Edit wars; (3) AfDing a page in retribution for Talk page comments; (4) Attacking other editors, and; (5) Refusal to participate in mediation via the Mediation Cabal. - Freechild 23:31, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Additional issues to be mediated

• The legitimacy of the AfD at this article, which User:Skaraoke introduced in order to attack me personally.

[edit] Parties' agreement to mediate

All parties should sign below, indicating that they agree to mediate the issue. If any party fails to sign, or if a party indicates they do not agree, then the mediation will be rejected. Only signatures and "agree" or "disagree" should appear here; any comments will be removed.

1. Agree. - Freechild 23:31, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
2. Disagree - Skaraoke 02:24, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Decision of the Mediation Committee

Rejected, parties fail to agree to mediation. However, upon looking into it, I feel that both users should take a step back, calm down, and breathe a bit deeper before proceeding. Civil discussion and a some good old assumption of good faith could get this problem resolved and nip it in the bud before it gets out of hand.

[edit] Issues to be mediated

• In article, Mudaliar which is a title used by many grousps, group Sengunthar is being slandered against while groups like Kondai Katti Vellala are being deleted.
• In articles, Sengunthar , Sengundhar, kaikolar, Kaikolan, the group Sengunthar is being slandered and vandalized by User:mudaliar and his socks. A check user has revealed that he is using socks for over a period of 4 months. These 4 are exact identical articles and need to be merged. [1]
• In article, Devadasi, slandering of Sengunthar is happening. It is being falsely claimed that Sengunthar / Kaikolar are the origin of all devadasis throught India, when infact the name of the group is called Isai Vellala, who had been using Kaikolar name for hiding their origin as Vellala. This editing started only after the revert wars in article Mudaliar proving that the edits are maliciously motivated.

[edit] Other steps in dispute resolution that have been attempted:

• Please discussion page for Wilma Blasini Perez

[edit] Issues to be mediated

• Official name of individual is Wilma Blasini. An editor stated Uma as an alias, howeveer the Puerto Rican press has always called her Wilma and not by her supposed Uma alias.
• Aliases for beauty queens such as one stated for Marisol Malaret and Barbara Palacios have never affected the article's titling, therefore same should be applied to this article as well.

[edit] Additional issues to be mediated

• All links should be directed to Wilma Blasini Perez and not empty article Uma Blasini
• Other editors must stop reverting article to blank links until matter is resolved.

Rejected. It appears to me that consensus has already been formed via the RFC, however I could be wrong.

Yes. Mangoe 14:33, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Comment Mangoe and I have nothing to mediate between the 2 of us. Denny hasnt edited since the 13th, and Denny is the only editor whom I have issues with that I would like to see resolved in mediation. The Mangoe/Crum issue is different, SqueakBox 20:24, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
