12 Tribes request for editor assistance
Usually I take a real inclusive approach to Wikipedia so I honestly haven't had this happen before. All Chezikah has to do is add a "Criticism" section and then cut loose with the cult stuff and, as along as it's sourced, it would be fine. It's hard to give that guidance when the other user won't reply to our attempts at reaching out though.
Believe it or not, we could actually be sanctioned for participating in an edit war if we don't escalate the situation. Wikipedia has a number of possible sanctions but, instead, I'm simply requesting editor assistance which is a kind of mediation where an administrator comes in and offers advice. Let's see where that takes us before going further.
I mentioned you were also concerned but didn't want to speak for you. Please go to the request located by clicking on this link and add your own thoughts. RevelationDirect ( talk) 03:40, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
- I was updating some restaurant Cats last year so the Yellow Deli was on my watchlist. When I saw the changes, I planned to remove the article from my list but then noticed the edits were unproductive. Your thanks may have been premature in any case; we didn't get someone to escalate further for us or reach out to Chezikah. Let's give it another day, or whenever I bother to log on again, and see if anyone else comments. RevelationDirect ( talk) 23:51, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
- I couldn't find your vandalism complaint. If you provide a link to it, I'll gladly second the complaint. RevelationDirect ( talk) 04:16, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
