Issues to be mediated

The appropriateness of personal recollections as a source on Wikipedia
The appropriateness of using "counter propaganda" to offset perceived errors in Wikipedia

Additional issues to be mediated

Whether or not some sources are "more reliable" than others.
Appropriateness of citing obscure, questionable sources rather than those widely recognized as 'reliable'.
Clarification of definition of "Personal Webpages", etc. (The article cites a certain webpage which is clearly a "personal" page, even though it is addressed as a sub-page of another page, which might be considered a valid source under Wikipedia's guidelines).
If "counter-propaganda" is allowable on the 'talk' page, rather than in the article itself.

Hello, I'd be willing to mediate this case (assuming it's not a stale issue). Please indicate whether or not you accept me as a mediator below, and if so, whether you would prefer public or private mediation. Thanks! Armedblowfish (talk|mail|contribs) 23:59, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I'll accept Armedblowfish as mediator, and I don't mind public mediation, as some of the issues may be of interest to others. I don't think the issue has gone stale, it's more of an uneasy truce at this point, and I'm sure the interested parties would like to see some kind of final closure.

Thanks, waiting for response from Uucp. Armedblowfish (talk|mail|contribs) 03:48, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think the original issues have been resolved, but if there is anything left to discuss, I'm glad to hear your thoughts. Uucp 03:53, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. Beginning mediation here. Armedblowfish (talk|mail|contribs) 04:21, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
