You were being kind. I am agog. I am aghast. User:Joy Stovall 01:59, Sep 21, 2004 (UTC) == Brutalism == Thank you for putting the dates into the captions. Not so messy-looking after all, and they help establish the time-frame. User:Wetman 20:04, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC) == Handoff == Seeing your changes in my edit really made me believe in the power of wikipedia. Good stuff! User:niklas_a Oct. 13, 21:59:27 UTC ==John Hancock buildings== ''See /John Hancock.'' ==Spelling== See "Usage and spelling" in the Wikipedia:Manual of Style. The general rule, in articles not concerning any particular country, is "both versions are acceptable, but don't change from one to the other for no good reason". I have absolutely no problem with US spellings, but I do have a problem with people who have nothing better to do than "correct" all other spellings to them (like the anon did in that article). Hope this clears things up. User:Proteus User_talk:Proteus 17:37, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC) ==''Reason'' magazine== :Was it ''considered'' "libertarian" back then? I've personally only become aware of the term Libertarian since the mid 90s. Reason is certainly referred to as "libertarian" now, but how long has it worn that term? Of ''course'' is was!! In the '70s, ''Reason'' was ''the'' Libertarian magazine, often mistakenly thought to be published by the Libertarian Party. User:Michael Hardy 20:03, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC) == Deletionist campaign == Hi there. I noticed your rational and considered response to the general deletionist hysteria concerning the New Utopia VfD. In case you weren't aware that particular VfD is simply the latest in a poisonous ongoing campaign being waged against all micronation articles on Wiki (of which there are currently about 20), irrespective of notability, by a small committed group of rabid deletionists. If the subject interests you, you might also want to note the articles in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Micronations Micronations Category], in order to keep an eye on its contents; I’ve been adding a number of well-researched, illustrated, fully referenced articles to this category, and revising existing ones extensively in recent months, but there are moves afoot thanks to a highly suspect ongoing arbitration of process to have me [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Gene_Poole_vs._Samboy/Proposed_decision banned] completely from writing anything at all about micronations on the basis that as the founder of one, anything I write is somehow self-promotional and/or controversial. --User:Gene Poole 22:43, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC) == External link policy == I appreciate your interest and comments concerning the arbitration process involving myself and User: Samboy. Your comments concerning my deletion of inappropriate external links from the micronation article are however misplaced. The only external links that belong in any article are those that illustrate valid aspects of the article content. In the case of the micronation article I have only removed links to micronations that are (a) not referenced by that article, and the inclusion of which is redundant and does not add anything useful to the article, and (b) for which no third party source of verification exists. If something cannot be independently verified it is obviously not encyclopaedic. In almost all cases you can see that those links were placed there by editors who have made no other edits at all - in other words they are not only unverifiable, they are self-promotional insertions. There are literally tens of thousands of these types of micronations in existence and Wiki cannot and should not be a link repository for them. My removal of those links is nothing more than basic housekeeping. As I have already stated elsewhere at length, User: Samboy's claims that this represents self-promotion by me is belied by the fact that almost all of the links in the current article where actually researched and inserted by me - the important difference being that they are all links to micronations that can be verified by many external documentary sources. User:Gene Poole 03:07, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC) ==Copyright== Concerning your comments about copyright on samboy's page, I will only say that what you call my "minimalist" interpretation seems to have been applied by the other contributor to the german silver article as well, because if you read his contribution you will see that he has done exactly the same thing as me, ie take a number of sources and reconfigure & conflate the sentences in question to form new sentences. The sentence concerning "technical uses" in particular uses almost the exact same words I did, rearranged. --User:Centauri 00:37, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC) ==Hello and salutations== Hey there. Seen you've been active working on cases at the AMA, and I just wanted to extend an offer for any help I can give regarding them; I've been absent for some time and want to finally get down to doing the advocate thing. If there's any cases I can help with in any way, don't hesitate to let me know. User:Wally 05:12, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC) : As for the lug (anon) v. Franc2000 matter, I trawled through Franc's user page and couldn't even find the one comment. Not knowing what else lugnut said, and given that he himself cannot remember any incidents, the only recommendation I would make is that he register his nick, continue editing, and return if the vandalism accusations ever recur - however, given that we can find neither incidences of posting or of concomitant disputes with other posters, there's precious little to do here. : Where the arbitration case is concerned, that's a bit more of a conundrum. You've offered your services and they've been accepted, but this person has stated that he himself wants nothing to do with the case? (This is how I read it, anyway - if you meant that he wanted ''you'' to have nothing to do with it, that's a different fox hunt altogether). Speaking generally, I would say that your role should be passive assuming a) the case is not exceptionally difficult, or the user exceptionally new and b) the case is not now nor is it becoming an absolute disaster (i.e. the user is scaring up a permban partly through lack of successful defense). If not all those criteria are met, however, you have an obligation in that user's interest to do pursue to the uttermost every means available to you on his behalf, until the case is concluded or he dismisses you. If you'd like I'd be exceedingly happy to look at the specific case and offer an opinion - at the very least, as it seems the user is to take no steps in his own defense you have ''prima facie'' grounds to pursue it as you best can. : On the latter especially, please consider me at your disposal for any meager assistance I might give. User:Wally 03:09, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC) :: Then, regarding the anon, all I can say is that he might as well register and then see from there. There's not a ton you can do for him without him registering, and his reply probably did little to help matters. :: Regarding the arbitration case I would argue that you have an even more pronounced obligation to help defend him, especially given that whether or not justice is being done is under question. If he's being railroaded, an advocate is exactly the person who is in a position (and who has the authority) to object about such behavior. User:Wally 23:42, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC) Hey again - how're things? I actually have something of a favor to ask. I took the User:Ray Foster case re. deaf, and we're proceeding to mediation. The other person involved, name of User:Dcreemer, has asked for an advocate of his own. The dispute's about the article, not the people, and mediation should be able to rapidly clear up the problems, as the dispute is not very hairy. Nonetheless, if you're not too occupied and could see your way to representing Dcreemer, I'd appreciate it. User:Wally 03:10, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC) ==(Michael Moore and bacon)== "Even if Michael Moore does like canadian bacon, this detail is not encyclopedic" is the best comment i've ever seen on a talk page. In fact, I think the basic ideas of Wikipedia are pretty much summed up right there. - User:Bgruber 01:55, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC) == Call for AMA election == AMA Member Advocate, There's a poll currently in the WP:AMA about making a new AMA Coordinator election. Please, cast your vote there (though it's not mandatory). Any comments you have about this, write it on the Wikipedia talk:Association of Members' Advocates. Cheers, --User:Imaglang 18:43, 4 Jan 2005 (UTC) == AMA Membership Meeting == As AMA Coordinator I am requesting that suggestions be placed on Wikipedia:AMA Membership Meeting plans for our first membership meeting, to be held in the near future, (hopefully before any election occurs.) Since we have never had any kind of "official" meeting we need to discuss how this will occur (i.e. Wiki pages or IRC channel), how it will be structured (i.e. meeting agenda) and if there will be any "chair" to supervise the meeting and meeting "secretary" to write up minutes or keep some kind of official record of what transpires. Thanks in advance for your input and your continued work as an advocate. User:Alex756 User talk:Alex756 19:46, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC) == Clarification and Conclusion to Deaf Mediation == I have received and acknowledged User:Ray Foster request to end mediation and stand down as advocate. I apologize at not being able, until now, to more fully report to you the facts of the dispute as I saw them when I requested mediation. It appears that a number of issues which were not known to me had sufficient pertinence to end any mediation proceedings (which were not occuring anyway). I requested mediation because RfC had not met with any positive response (only a single user replied, who didn't think it merited an RfC), and there were insufficient users present to make a quickpoll effective in the dispute. Additionally, not only was Ray Foster deaf, but User:Dcreemer has a deaf child, and as you no doubt now know by reading the talk page, their discussions became heated to the point where language bordering on the insulting was used, at which point Dcreemr seemed to absent himself. Not only that, but the dispute on the page itself was sufficiently technical that I felt it would be better to have a single designated mediator look at it rather than people wandering in to reply to an RfC. It was given all this that I felt mediation would be the most effective course, and in which mind I advised Ray to allow me to pursue it. In the intervening period, Ray posted an apology to Dcreemr for any poor conduct or insulting behavior on his part. This was the main concern sending me to mediation, and in which I had the natural idea, expressed to both Ray Foster and Dcreemr, of working out a compromise to the article in the process of ending their more personal dispute (to my mind, mediation is a process designed to rectify issues regarding users through [where applicable] effecting a compromise on the pages in question). This issue now gone, the dispute may be concluded by simple user discussion, and had I been aware that such had occured I would have recommended a withdrawal of the mediation request, which given this new information I support in full. I would also like to clarify that I neither instructed nor empowered Ray Foster to revert any changes to the deaf article. I advised him to ''"please refrain from editing or commenting on the page and encourage others to do so."'' He apparently misconstrued this to mean ensuring other users did not tamper with the article until the issue was concluded. My idea was merely that Ray not edit — which might cause further controversy — and that other users be requested not to either, as that could also have negative rammifications. I also wanted to provide some sort of mechanism by which the page would not be drastically changed while Ray was in a place from which it would be inappropriate to make edits. I had noticed his request on the talk page for users not to edit the article pending mediation, and did assume that he was doing what I had advised. Had I known that he was reverting other, innocuous changes, I would have immediately clarified the issue and undid the reversion. As it stands I have explained this misunderstanding to Ray Foster, as well as on the requests for mediation page. Thank you for your help in resolving the issue and noting such developments necessary as to bring this dispute to a close in a more amicable and timely way, as well as doing my the favor of involving yourself whilst you had many other duties to execute. I am glad of the positive outcome, to which your involvement is substantially owed, as well as of the considerable simplification of its conclusion by way of facts of which I was unaware. I am additionally pleased at any influence I was able to have in the good and unconfrontational outcome.

The Anon requested it and I agree. Is there any chance of mediation happening? It isn't critical, the article is progressing. (Actually I should say "articles". The dispute includes the article on the newpspaper's owner, Richard Mellon Scaife.) Anyway, if a mediator is available, then I think it would help. Cheers, -User:Willmcw 01:18, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC) (PS, I bring this to you because you visibly active in AMA matters. Let me know if I should communicate elsewise. W. -01:21, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)) ---- I am sorry not to have responded to you earlier, but frankly trying to research this dispute makes my head spin. I suppose mediation would be a decent next step. However, your assertion that the user has made legal threats against you and the Wiki itself would almost require Arbitration, to enforce a ban for the duration of potential legal action. I'd almost say the case should be split, with the Pittsburgh issue going to Mediation and the legal threat issue going to Arbitration -- except that a successful Arbitration would make the Mediation theoretically irrelevant. But maybe we could ignore the legal threat issue for the time being. If we can reliably contact the anon, we can at least alert him to the fact that making legal threats is a bannable offense. Another next step here might be to attempt Negotiation, which is something I'm trying to push and to my knowledge has not been done in a formal capacity. This would be like Mediation without a mediator. I think this would help mainly because I personally find attempting to follow things on the PT-R talk page impossible. Another alternative would be informal mediation, a form of mediation which would bypass the RFM process (which has been notoriously lacking) and use a disinterested third party as mediator. If we can reliably contact the anon, I think either negotiation or informal mediation would be a fair next step. If that rapidly falls apart we can move on. I could use a few things -- One is a link or links to any legal threats the anon has made. And I could also use an explanation of your view of this dispute(s) between you and the anon re PT-R. - User:KeithTyler User_talk:KeithTyler[ WP:AMA] 00:32, Feb 26, 2005 (UTC)

Kevin, thanks for addressing the request by the anon, user:147.72.93.172/user:147.72.93.199, to which I agree. I do not know the most appropriate way of handling this matter. You may be right that there are two separate issues: general editing behavior and the libel accusations.
I believe that the original request was for an advocate, which indeed may be helpful. Overall, I think that the Anon's poor editing behavior is a minor issue that does not reqire sanctions. However the articles (Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, Richard Mellon Scaife, and Teresa Heinz Kerry), the editing process, the other editors, and the Anon's contributions would all benefit if there were an experienced editor who could work with him.
The legal threats against Wikipedia have been vague and repeated, most recently on February 8th.([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Pittsburgh_Tribune-Review&diff=next&oldid=10075463]'', repeated below'') Anon user claimed that a sentence asserting that the P T-R had printed gossip about Theresa Heinz Kerry being a lesbian was a libel on the newspaper. The dispute is shared by user:Gamaliel, and was already in progress when I began participating. Even after the assertion was changed to reflect correctly the gossip that had been printed, and after being warned repeatedly about making legal threats, the Anon continued to refer to legal action against Wikipedia, apparently even claiming to have consulted with "outside help" over libels in the P T-R article. During this time he variously claimed to work for "the competition" and, prior to that, to be "just a reader." In fact, he uses IP addresses that belong to the P T-R and are used by its employees.
The editing issues probably are soluble through regular RfC's, etc. But I don't know how to regard the legal threats against Wikipedia and its editors. Perhaps someone who has dealt with such issues before should review the Anon's statements.
Thanks again for addressing this matter, and also for all of your contributions to Wikipedia. Cheers, -User:Willmcw 00:14, Mar 1, 2005 (UTC)

Hey again,
After consulting some people in the chat room i've been recommended to revert Dragostea Din Tei to the last version by Mackeriv. General consensus was that that version was more factually correct and better written. I wouldn't of reverted just on my own opinion.
I noted that you did add some more info though, obviously i'm not going to just revert anything thats changed, but inparticular adding more on memes isn't recommended as a consensus agreed to make the article about the song almost completely. The notable memes are listed, and any foreign mock-ups/videos don't need including - Indeed, the latter is showcased a lot in Numa numa. User:Hedley 00:04, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

== Dragostea Din Tei Dispute ==
As we won't get anywhere just debating over why we feel our versions are better than each others, i've asked User:Mikkalai to sort the situation out. He has shown interest in the Numa numa and Dragostea Din Tei articles for some time, and isn't biased, so hopefully he can resolve the dispute. User:Hedley 11:46, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

== Aw fork ==
There's a silly debate going on. The state of Massachusetts, commonly known as "Massachusetts," is officially named "The Commonwealth of Massachusetts." Some users are making a big deal about this. One user moved Massachusetts to The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. I consider this move vandalism and I think I successfully reverted the move. I left The Commonwealth of Massachusetts in place as a redirect to discourage any attempt to repeat the move. I don't think there's presently a fork, although there may have been one briefly during the time when I was trying to undo the move. User:Dpbsmith User_talk:dpbsmith 02:20, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Archives: /Archive1 == Deadend Pages == I saw your comment on Votes for deletion about the detritus on Special:Deadend Pages. I thought you were exaggerating, so I went to look for myself. You were being kind. I am agog. I am aghast. User:Joy Stovall 01:59, Sep 21, 2004 (UTC) == Brutalism == Thank you for putting the dates into the captions. Not so messy-looking after all, and they help establish the time-frame. User:Wetman 20:04, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC) == Handoff == Seeing your changes in my edit really made me believe in the power of wikipedia. Good stuff! User:niklas_a Oct. 13, 21:59:27 UTC ==John Hancock buildings== ''See /John Hancock.'' ==Spelling== See "Usage and spelling" in the Wikipedia:Manual of Style. The general rule, in articles not concerning any particular country, is "both versions are acceptable, but don't change from one to the other for no good reason". I have absolutely no problem with US spellings, but I do have a problem with people who have nothing better to do than "correct" all other spellings to them (like the anon did in that article). Hope this clears things up. User:Proteus User_talk:Proteus 17:37, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC) ==''Reason'' magazine== :Was it ''considered'' "libertarian" back then? I've personally only become aware of the term Libertarian since the mid 90s. Reason is certainly referred to as "libertarian" now, but how long has it worn that term? Of ''course'' is was!! In the '70s, ''Reason'' was ''the'' Libertarian magazine, often mistakenly thought to be published by the Libertarian Party. User:Michael Hardy 20:03, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC) == Deletionist campaign == Hi there. I noticed your rational and considered response to the general deletionist hysteria concerning the New Utopia VfD. In case you weren't aware that particular VfD is simply the latest in a poisonous ongoing campaign being waged against all micronation articles on Wiki (of which there are currently about 20), irrespective of notability, by a small committed group of rabid deletionists. If the subject interests you, you might also want to note the articles in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Micronations Micronations Category], in order to keep an eye on its contents; I’ve been adding a number of well-researched, illustrated, fully referenced articles to this category, and revising existing ones extensively in recent months, but there are moves afoot thanks to a highly suspect ongoing arbitration of process to have me [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Gene_Poole_vs._Samboy/Proposed_decision banned] completely from writing anything at all about micronations on the basis that as the founder of one, anything I write is somehow self-promotional and/or controversial. --User:Gene Poole 22:43, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC) == External link policy == I appreciate your interest and comments concerning the arbitration process involving myself and User: Samboy. Your comments concerning my deletion of inappropriate external links from the micronation article are however misplaced. The only external links that belong in any article are those that illustrate valid aspects of the article content. In the case of the micronation article I have only removed links to micronations that are (a) not referenced by that article, and the inclusion of which is redundant and does not add anything useful to the article, and (b) for which no third party source of verification exists. If something cannot be independently verified it is obviously not encyclopaedic. In almost all cases you can see that those links were placed there by editors who have made no other edits at all - in other words they are not only unverifiable, they are self-promotional insertions. There are literally tens of thousands of these types of micronations in existence and Wiki cannot and should not be a link repository for them. My removal of those links is nothing more than basic housekeeping. As I have already stated elsewhere at length, User: Samboy's claims that this represents self-promotion by me is belied by the fact that almost all of the links in the current article where actually researched and inserted by me - the important difference being that they are all links to micronations that can be verified by many external documentary sources. User:Gene Poole 03:07, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC) ==Copyright== Concerning your comments about copyright on samboy's page, I will only say that what you call my "minimalist" interpretation seems to have been applied by the other contributor to the german silver article as well, because if you read his contribution you will see that he has done exactly the same thing as me, ie take a number of sources and reconfigure & conflate the sentences in question to form new sentences. The sentence concerning "technical uses" in particular uses almost the exact same words I did, rearranged. --User:Centauri 00:37, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC) ==Hello and salutations== Hey there. Seen you've been active working on cases at the AMA, and I just wanted to extend an offer for any help I can give regarding them; I've been absent for some time and want to finally get down to doing the advocate thing. If there's any cases I can help with in any way, don't hesitate to let me know. User:Wally 05:12, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC) : As for the lug (anon) v. Franc2000 matter, I trawled through Franc's user page and couldn't even find the one comment. Not knowing what else lugnut said, and given that he himself cannot remember any incidents, the only recommendation I would make is that he register his nick, continue editing, and return if the vandalism accusations ever recur - however, given that we can find neither incidences of posting or of concomitant disputes with other posters, there's precious little to do here. : Where the arbitration case is concerned, that's a bit more of a conundrum. You've offered your services and they've been accepted, but this person has stated that he himself wants nothing to do with the case? (This is how I read it, anyway - if you meant that he wanted ''you'' to have nothing to do with it, that's a different fox hunt altogether). Speaking generally, I would say that your role should be passive assuming a) the case is not exceptionally difficult, or the user exceptionally new and b) the case is not now nor is it becoming an absolute disaster (i.e. the user is scaring up a permban partly through lack of successful defense). If not all those criteria are met, however, you have an obligation in that user's interest to do pursue to the uttermost every means available to you on his behalf, until the case is concluded or he dismisses you. If you'd like I'd be exceedingly happy to look at the specific case and offer an opinion - at the very least, as it seems the user is to take no steps in his own defense you have ''prima facie'' grounds to pursue it as you best can. : On the latter especially, please consider me at your disposal for any meager assistance I might give. User:Wally 03:09, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC) :: Then, regarding the anon, all I can say is that he might as well register and then see from there. There's not a ton you can do for him without him registering, and his reply probably did little to help matters. :: Regarding the arbitration case I would argue that you have an even more pronounced obligation to help defend him, especially given that whether or not justice is being done is under question. If he's being railroaded, an advocate is exactly the person who is in a position (and who has the authority) to object about such behavior. User:Wally 23:42, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC) Hey again - how're things? I actually have something of a favor to ask. I took the User:Ray Foster case re. deaf, and we're proceeding to mediation. The other person involved, name of User:Dcreemer, has asked for an advocate of his own. The dispute's about the article, not the people, and mediation should be able to rapidly clear up the problems, as the dispute is not very hairy. Nonetheless, if you're not too occupied and could see your way to representing Dcreemer, I'd appreciate it. User:Wally 03:10, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC) ==(Michael Moore and bacon)== "Even if Michael Moore does like canadian bacon, this detail is not encyclopedic" is the best comment i've ever seen on a talk page. In fact, I think the basic ideas of Wikipedia are pretty much summed up right there. - User:Bgruber 01:55, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC) == Call for AMA election == AMA Member Advocate, There's a poll currently in the WP:AMA about making a new AMA Coordinator election. Please, cast your vote there (though it's not mandatory). Any comments you have about this, write it on the Wikipedia talk:Association of Members' Advocates. Cheers, --User:Imaglang 18:43, 4 Jan 2005 (UTC) == AMA Membership Meeting == As AMA Coordinator I am requesting that suggestions be placed on Wikipedia:AMA Membership Meeting plans for our first membership meeting, to be held in the near future, (hopefully before any election occurs.) Since we have never had any kind of "official" meeting we need to discuss how this will occur (i.e. Wiki pages or IRC channel), how it will be structured (i.e. meeting agenda) and if there will be any "chair" to supervise the meeting and meeting "secretary" to write up minutes or keep some kind of official record of what transpires. Thanks in advance for your input and your continued work as an advocate. User:Alex756 User talk:Alex756 19:46, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC) == Clarification and Conclusion to Deaf Mediation == I have received and acknowledged User:Ray Foster request to end mediation and stand down as advocate. I apologize at not being able, until now, to more fully report to you the facts of the dispute as I saw them when I requested mediation. It appears that a number of issues which were not known to me had sufficient pertinence to end any mediation proceedings (which were not occuring anyway). I requested mediation because RfC had not met with any positive response (only a single user replied, who didn't think it merited an RfC), and there were insufficient users present to make a quickpoll effective in the dispute. Additionally, not only was Ray Foster deaf, but User:Dcreemer has a deaf child, and as you no doubt now know by reading the talk page, their discussions became heated to the point where language bordering on the insulting was used, at which point Dcreemr seemed to absent himself. Not only that, but the dispute on the page itself was sufficiently technical that I felt it would be better to have a single designated mediator look at it rather than people wandering in to reply to an RfC. It was given all this that I felt mediation would be the most effective course, and in which mind I advised Ray to allow me to pursue it. In the intervening period, Ray posted an apology to Dcreemr for any poor conduct or insulting behavior on his part. This was the main concern sending me to mediation, and in which I had the natural idea, expressed to both Ray Foster and Dcreemr, of working out a compromise to the article in the process of ending their more personal dispute (to my mind, mediation is a process designed to rectify issues regarding users through [where applicable] effecting a compromise on the pages in question). This issue now gone, the dispute may be concluded by simple user discussion, and had I been aware that such had occured I would have recommended a withdrawal of the mediation request, which given this new information I support in full. I would also like to clarify that I neither instructed nor empowered Ray Foster to revert any changes to the deaf article. I advised him to ''"please refrain from editing or commenting on the page and encourage others to do so."'' He apparently misconstrued this to mean ensuring other users did not tamper with the article until the issue was concluded. My idea was merely that Ray not edit — which might cause further controversy — and that other users be requested not to either, as that could also have negative rammifications. I also wanted to provide some sort of mechanism by which the page would not be drastically changed while Ray was in a place from which it would be inappropriate to make edits. I had noticed his request on the talk page for users not to edit the article pending mediation, and did assume that he was doing what I had advised. Had I known that he was reverting other, innocuous changes, I would have immediately clarified the issue and undid the reversion. As it stands I have explained this misunderstanding to Ray Foster, as well as on the requests for mediation page. Thank you for your help in resolving the issue and noting such developments necessary as to bring this dispute to a close in a more amicable and timely way, as well as doing my the favor of involving yourself whilst you had many other duties to execute. I am glad of the positive outcome, to which your involvement is substantially owed, as well as of the considerable simplification of its conclusion by way of facts of which I was unaware. I am additionally pleased at any influence I was able to have in the good and unconfrontational outcome.

Trib-Review == In the matter of Wikipedia:AMA_Requests_for_Assistance#anon_vs._User:Willmcw_re_Pittsburgh_Tribune-Review, I think that there is agreement that mediation would be helpful. The Anon requested it and I agree. Is there any chance of mediation happening? It isn't critical, the article is progressing. (Actually I should say "articles". The dispute includes the article on the newpspaper's owner, Richard Mellon Scaife.) Anyway, if a mediator is available, then I think it would help. Cheers, -User:Willmcw 01:18, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC) (PS, I bring this to you because you visibly active in AMA matters. Let me know if I should communicate elsewise. W. -01:21, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)) ---- I am sorry not to have responded to you earlier, but frankly trying to research this dispute makes my head spin. I suppose mediation would be a decent next step. However, your assertion that the user has made legal threats against you and the Wiki itself would almost require Arbitration, to enforce a ban for the duration of potential legal action. I'd almost say the case should be split, with the Pittsburgh issue going to Mediation and the legal threat issue going to Arbitration -- except that a successful Arbitration would make the Mediation theoretically irrelevant. But maybe we could ignore the legal threat issue for the time being. If we can reliably contact the anon, we can at least alert him to the fact that making legal threats is a bannable offense. Another next step here might be to attempt Negotiation, which is something I'm trying to push and to my knowledge has not been done in a formal capacity. This would be like Mediation without a mediator. I think this would help mainly because I personally find attempting to follow things on the PT-R talk page impossible. Another alternative would be informal mediation, a form of mediation which would bypass the RFM process (which has been notoriously lacking) and use a disinterested third party as mediator. If we can reliably contact the anon, I think either negotiation or informal mediation would be a fair next step. If that rapidly falls apart we can move on. I could use a few things -- One is a link or links to any legal threats the anon has made. And I could also use an explanation of your view of this dispute(s) between you and the anon re PT-R. - User:KeithTyler User_talk:KeithTyler
