Hi Nicholas,
Thank you for your contribution to the article. IMHO in looks much better now and the definition, fist section, is a lot more balanced than it was previously. -- Jeannmb ( talk) 13:54, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
Oh right, Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2011-02-14/User:Herostratus/Hardcore_images.
Well, I was never able to persuade the other user to sign on, so I guess its a dead letter.
The issue was over some changes he wanted to make. He never did get to make the changes he wanted, he was more or less "outvoted" by the people on the essays's talk page and gave up, I guess.
But if he wants to revive the case, I am willing to revive the case. Since I "won" my point in other ways, and since I think his proposed changes were silly, I'd rather not, and think it would be waste of time now. But if the other user want to revive the case and you want to accept it, I am willing to do it and cooperate fully. Herostratus ( talk) 15:21, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

You welcome thoughts on this. Mine are that you are jumping up to this much too quickly, and I don't think you really understand the issue yet. We have already discussed mediation/closure of this phase, and have Newyorkbrad and WJBScribe lined up to do this (and actually discussed among ourselves about who would do this). We really do not need further mediation here. I would explain further, but as I said, this is going way too fast, and needs to be considered much more carefully. So for now I would appreciate if you put this on hold, rather than offering (although appreciated) to mediate this yourself. I really need some time to collect my thoughts. You may also be interested in this discussion which Beeblebrox neglected to mention, where we discussed who would close the request (this was also previously discussed at the RfC), and where I, and other opposition, are compared to terrorists, something Beeblebrox apparently has considered in the past, and appears to be what prompted him to open the request. Sorry for the rushed comment, as I say I really need time to collect my thoughts, you guys are moving way too fast. Best, - Kingpin 13 ( talk) 22:32, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
Heck, I wonder if anyone's made any comparison of the staunch objectors to a hostage situation. Think about it: "If you do not hand over 10 million dollars, this fella here bites the bullet." In this case, the captive is PC itself, and those in support of it are like the government agency receiving the threat. This is entirely extreme, but the debate over PC has been going almost like that: "turn it off or we won't talk". Again, this does not mean a certain view on my part, it's just an observation.
I would like to enter a statement/concern that every time we seem to get to some sort of concensus about the "never-ending" RFC, an editor decides that we'll take the discussion to a new phase (disregard the strongly expressed viewpoints and insert "my" personal spin). I observe that this MedCab request comes without notifying several people who have expressed concern that this procedure is being "owned" by one editor and not accepting the fact that the community is expressing desire to modify the viewpoint the owner is taking. If this goes forward I would like to be included in the "review track" group that was suggested as I have concerns that in it's current owner's hands, this procedure (and subsequent "trials") will be viewed with hostility.

{Reply.} the editor , spaceman miff , insists that these are my personal opinion , when I am qoting DIRECTLY from an interview given by the living person.
He is quite deliberately trying to potray som sort of malicious intent on my part , whereas I am reporting the stated Opinion of the BLP about a subject matter(hinduism / hindu culture) which i had spoke about with him(SS) already.
If it is the policy of wikipedia to simply stop mediation because one party has (autocratically) decided that there is nothing to discuss, then I too will have nothing to discuss.
If you so wish you can read the article from which I have quoted those words and put them in a (constructed sentence)form in wiki
"Ramachandra Guha is a known hindu baiter particularly terming it as ". . polluted from source to sea . .. Hindu civilisation practised the most degrading form of social behaviour called untouchability. Hindu civilisation oppressed its women. In Hindu civilisation there was division of manual labour and mental labour. "[4] " . . That idea that there was greatness in Indian or Hindu civilisation is . . . not true"
"
now the first objection was to the word hindu baiter , which i said i will remove. I then asked if the rest may be posted , which i was flatly denied.I hope it is clear to you , what the issue , is.
I thank you for interest in mediation. I only wished to make my point clear to those who wished to hear.
if it is declined , please bear in mind it is in protest that i accede.

Arilang1234 having a go at his POV pushing on the boxer rebellion article, claiming the content in the article is from "chinese high school text book", when not a single chinese or communist source was used in the article.
look at the section now- Talk:Boxer_Rebellion#Lead_section
report I made on his edits- he tries to link the black panthers, marxists, and vietnam war to anti imperialism on the boxer rebellion= User:ΔΥΝΓΑΝΕ/Report ANI
Now he thinks dropping off conspiracy theories about high school text books, australia, marxists, black panthers, and vietnam on the boxer rebellion article and filing an ANI report after he was criticized for doing so is acceptable
Arilang1234 attempting wikilawyering and making threats when he was caught trolling
After his trolling on the Boxer rebellion talk page, Arilang1234 proceeded to file this ANI report complaining about me after I criticized him for his attempt at linking marxists, black panthers, and vietnam war to the Boxer rebels... ΔΥΝΓΑΝΕ ( talk) 00:23, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
And he titled the ANI thread "racist", and proceeded to provide not one single piece of evidence that I said anything racist at all. One also has to wonder what the "cold war" he inserted into the title has to do with anything other than to grab attention. ΔΥΝΓΑΝΕ ( talk) 00:27, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

Another editor is reverting my edits, providing no explanation whatever, leaving a decidedly inferior version, replete with redundant text, cruft, misspellings, etc. If you check the diffs you will see my version is superior in every way: substantively, grammatically and syntactically; the last two probably due to the fact that English is not his first language.
More offensively, this editor refuses to explain, despite my reaching out to him on his talk page, his reasoning or to try to delineate where I am wrong or where it is simply a dispute between MOS styles. His reverts show he is not looking to improve the article but simply to revert wholesale my edits entirely. He may have an ownership problem with his articles, but, as you well know, no one owns an article on Wikipedia, regardless of how much hard work is put into editing.
I am leaving the article as is due to WP:3RR but I hope you can view the diffs and restore the superior version I crafted. Rms125a@hotmail.com ( talk) 16:25, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi. You don't know me, but I've run across your work a couple times and I was so impressed I gave you an award each time. So I consider you fairminded and savvy. I'd like to ask for your counsel, if I may. It's not in your job description I guess, so no problem if you can't do this. I don't have (or want) any WikiFriends, but I sure could use some advice and maybe a neutral look at my situation.
The deal is, I'm in a situation with another user which I'm not willing to let drop, for what I consider to be good reason (he would be glad to let it drop). He's refused mediation, so I'm unsure of my next step, although I have some ideas.
Well, you know what couples counsellors say -- "If he won't come in, at least come in yourself". You can't mediate this if the other party won't, but maybe you could review the situation and help me figure out what's going on, if I'm being unreasonable, and what my next steps might be.

The article Stuart Flynn has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

Another editor is reverting my edits, providing no explanation whatever, leaving a decidedly inferior version, replete with redundant text, cruft, misspellings, etc. If you check the diffs you will see my version is superior in every way: substantively, grammatically and syntactically; the last two probably due to the fact that English is not his first language.
More offensively, this editor refuses to explain, despite my reaching out to him on his talk page, his reasoning or to try to delineate where I am wrong or where it is simply a dispute between MOS styles. His reverts show he is not looking to improve the article but simply to revert wholesale my edits entirely. He may have an ownership problem with his articles, but, as you well know, no one owns an article on Wikipedia, regardless of how much hard work is put into editing.
I am leaving the article as is due to WP:3RR but I hope you can view the diffs and restore the superior version I crafted. Rms125a@hotmail.com ( talk) 16:25, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
I can not help it, but the discussion page on Myrtle Allen is still blank but my talkpage is filled with PA's and insults. Not a way for a constructive discussion. Night of the Big Wind talk 23:29, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
Hi. You don't know me, but I've run across your work a couple times and I was so impressed I gave you an award each time. So I consider you fairminded and savvy. I'd like to ask for your counsel, if I may. It's not in your job description I guess, so no problem if you can't do this. I don't have (or want) any WikiFriends, but I sure could use some advice and maybe a neutral look at my situation.
The deal is, I'm in a situation with another user which I'm not willing to let drop, for what I consider to be good reason (he would be glad to let it drop). He's refused mediation, so I'm unsure of my next step, although I have some ideas.
Well, you know what couples counsellors say -- "If he won't come in, at least come in yourself". You can't mediate this if the other party won't, but maybe you could review the situation and help me figure out what's going on, if I'm being unreasonable, and what my next steps might be.
Again, this is a random request that's out of your pay grade, so only if you want to. Herostratus ( talk) 05:40, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for taking up this case. I see that you are able to read Italian and German, which is very useful. I hope we will find a way to conclude the dispute in a satisfactory way. Kind regards. - DonCalo ( talk) 20:04, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
