Issues to be mediated edit

  • An external timeline of 911 events from a website called Cooperative Research is unsuitable for inclusion in the 911 Attacks article because it is a link to a donation appeal [5], uses a conspiratorial editing tone, and has verifiability problems with its claimed sources. An informal straw poll supported this resolution 11-3.

Additional issues to be mediated edit

  • Compromise: Rather than use the Cooperative Research link, an external timeline from CNN has been proposed, instead. [6]

Issues to be mediated edit

Censoring of discussing by Admins. We're not even talking about changing the article! Admins are actually censoring the discussion because it presents factual evidence they don't agree with.

Further, how can the Admins/Mods that are censoring the discusssion actually be allowed to veto the arbitration? It's like telling the criminal he can toss out his own case, if he wants.

Of course these "Mods" are going to disagree with Arbitration, because it only serves their purpose. How is that fair? They get to delete discussion, and then avoid any repercussions because they dont' want any? It's not logical at all.

Statement by user:The Blue Lion edit

My user account was blocked by a user that suspoect me of being someone else. I tried unblock and the request was ignored. The user, Bunchofgrapes (talk · contribs) suspects me of being EddieSegoura (talk · contribs) because I used images found on his webpage to improve the Voltron page. Both users Bunchofgrapes (talk · contribs) and EddieSegoura (talk · contribs) have a long history of fighting and edit warring and I had no idea that using images from Eddie's site would lead to being blocked myself. Although evading a block might be forbidden. I felt it was necessary to voice my opinion against a user I would have had nothing to do with in an attempt to clear my name. I would not have create this account had it not been for the action of the above user. The Blue Lion 23:11, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  2. Agree.

Decision of the Mediation Committee edit

Reject: This is not an issue for mediation. If you feel that you were wronged by another user in terms of blocking, it would probably be best to bring it up at the administrator's noticeboard, or perhaps file a request for comment.

A number of other users are involved in a broader discussion, but it's between us two I think mediation might be most useful, as we are the two mostly butting heads with each others.

Articles involved edit

  • Wikipedia:Overcategorization
    • Some extra discussion Is at BDJ's talk page.
    • While discussion hasn't escalated to WP:CIVIL yet, we have come today to both accusing each others of denying the other's opinion and arguments, so I preferred to ask for Mediation before we actually reach that point.

Issues to be mediated edit

  • Whether WP:OC is fit to be tagged with {{guideline}} and treated as such.

  • This does not appear to be a mediation dispute; while we would be happy to help the two of you resolve any disputes you might have, we really can't be involved in "deciding" an issue like the policy status of the pages. This is one of those rare cases where I'm going to have to ask for a bit more detail on the proposed scope of medaition. (On the talk page, please.) Essjay (Talk) 04:25, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reject: This dispute isn't right for mediation; it should be raised in a forum like ANI or RFC where the broader community can participate.
