Please see the request for comments against me, user Mlorrey. I hereby request mediation against the political edit-stalking of Meelar and Firebug. Mlorrey 21:05, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Mlorrey challenges the reality of Firebug as a person independent of being a sockpuppet of Meelar. Mlorrey 04:12, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Mlorrey also challenges Firebug's certification as a co-plaintiff, as Firebug intentionally initiated agression against my edits, AFTER this dispute began, which is a violation of dispute resolution protocol, in order gain this certification, and therefore is intentionally 'throwing himself in front of a bus'. This is fraud and his certification should be dismissed by whoever is ajudicating this court. Mlorrey 04:18, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Mlorrey has also previously requested that this be moved to mediation, but has not been notified of any mediator taking jurisdiction of this case via message or email. Therefore, this case cannot move forward, nor can the alleged co-plaintiffs take further action until mediation jurisdiction has been established. Under the Hague Service Convention, he is entitled to be served proper notice. As a website providing service in many Hague signatory nations (including the US, Canada, and Europe), wikipedia is bound by this treaty. Until such is done, Mlorrey hereby revokes Meelar/Firebug's further authority to initiate force against him or his edits in wikipedia. This is to be considered a temporary injunction/restraining order against further changes of his edits and all reversions committed by Meelar/Firebug since the date of this RFC must be reversed, until such time as an official Wikipedia mediator acceptable to both sides agrees to accept jurisdiction over this case. Mlorrey 04:28, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I have been unable to communicate with this user since I first encountered them, and feel they lack Wikipedia:Civility. I am requesting mediation as part of the Wikipedia:Conflict resolution process. ( Sam Spade | talk | contributions) 12:46, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
I'm requesting mediation on behalf of El_C regarding several contentious discussions on battleground pages and what El_C feels is a lack of civility on Sam's part. Socialism (which has apparently been protected due to their disputes) and racialism are good examples of what is at issue here. See talk pages for more.
Note that both El_C and Sam Spade have agreed, to me personally, to undergo mediation in advance of this request. Both are eager that this problem should not reach arbitration. Speedy redress would be welcomed. Wally 02:40, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
I object to the statement "Both are eager that this problem should not reach arbitration". I frankly don't think thats true, and suggest a review of User_talk:Wally#Regarding_El_C, where information regarding that, as well as discussion of goals can be found. User_talk:Sam_Spade#A_Request_from_El_C_and_Myself contains similar discussion of agreements sought.

Amid a recent campaign by the online community to make the Wikipedia article for Online poker the number one result in the search engine Google for that term, the page became the target of heavy vandalism and was subsequently locked for this reason. As the page was getting a large amount of traffic, I asked politely in IRC for an administrator to unlock the page so I could format the external links in MLA format, as I often do, even for featured articles while they are featured so that they are more presentable and professional looking. In the past, no one has ever complained, and people typically thank me for it as it takes some work, however, user 2005 has claimed that what I did was vandalism. Several people, including at least one admin, have informed him on the talk page that his conception of vandalism is flawed, and I explained to him that since he was persisting even in the face of several users and an admin that it would be necessary for us to engage in the dispute resolution process to solve the problem, as he is the only person who views this as vandalism. At that point, user 2005 quietly left the scene for several days, abandoning the discussion. Then he came back, presumably after others were not looking, and without attempting to reengage those who were watching the article reverted the MLA formatting citing, once again, vandalism in his edit summary. He is now attempting to lure other users into revert wars and is sticking to his claim that it is vandalism. For clarity, here is the definition of the term, according to Wikipedia:Vandalism:
Vandalism is indisputable bad-faith addition, deletion, or change to content, made in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of the encyclopedia [...] Wikipedians often make sweeping changes to articles in order to improve them—most of us aim to be bold when updating articles. While having large chunks of text you wrote removed, moved to talk, or substantially rewritten can sometimes feel like vandalism, it should not be confused with vandalism.

TDC will be notified of this request immediately.
As a result of a few encounters with TDC, and observing that he frequently seems to attract quite a lot of friction from other editors, I supported an RFC brought concerning his behavior. As a result of the confirmation that not only I but several others have found our encounters with him characterized by extreme rudeness, resort to personal attack, and somewhat determined edit warring, I decided that mediation would almost certainly help, if TDC was willing. He has accepted. I hope that by a mediated dialog we will be able to establish better communication, and that this will lead to less problematic behavior on his part, or at least more understanding on my part of his reasons for behaving as he does. -- Tony Sidaway| Talk 21:28, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Inability to break deadlock, onging revert war. Recent RfC did not bring any help from other editors. User:Zappaz and User:Goethean complaint is that User:Andries, is attempting to use WP as a place for advocating against gurus. The complaint is basically that a general, neutral encyclopedia article on gurus is filled with criticisms of gurus by a few Western anti-guru authors with what amounts to using the Wikipedia for advocacy, which is explicitly forbidden by Wikipedia policy. On the other hand, User:Andries, claims that the article needs to feature an extensive section on criticism of gurus because [sic]"even if these gurus did not commit crimes, they are controversial because they disappoint their followers because they often turn out to be very human and incompetent to bring the disciple to their promised moksha in spite of their claims to be saints etc, [...and that...] The concept of guru is very controversial in the West." and that "the negative opinion about gurus is the majority and hence deserves majority space.". User:Goethean replies that [sic] "gurus, is one of the most important concepts in Eastern religions (which are practiced by 1.3 billion people, not including Western New Agers [2] and that hence the Western critics are a minority POV. Request page protection and mediation to break deadlock. -- Zappaz 20:09, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Rev of Bru reverts changes made by Slrubenstein. RoB is a POV warrior who has made it clear that he will not accept claims that important scholars accept that Jesus once existed: [3] and [4]. Slrubenstein accepts that some scholars reject the existence of Jesus, but maintains that most well-respected critical scholars accept Jesus' existence. Slrubenstein and RoB have argued over who is considered a respected scholar: [5]. SR's criteria for "scholar" is someone who has a relevant PhD., teaches at a major accredited university, publishes books in academic presses and/or articles in peer-reviewed journals, regardless of whether their views coincide with SR's or not. RoB's criteria for "scholar" is anyone, whether they have credentials or not, who agrees with RoB's POV.
In short, I object to RoB's knee-jerk reverting of any change I make to the article, without any consideration for process (explaining his edits, responding to my explanations). Moreover, I object to his knee-jerk POV warrioring, refusing to accept views other than his own Slrubenstein | Talk 19:20, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I would like to comment. That is a most unfair summary of events so far. I have repeatedly objected to user Slrubstein removing parts of the article which he does not like and repeatedly reverting my edits.

Concerning the specific edit in dispute, I have provided a lengthy explanation for my changes [8]; this explanation was provided on:
Note: Rev of Bru never responded to this explanation.
Note: Since I posted this explanation, Rev of Bru has reverted my changes twice (through three separate edits). In this time Rev of Bru has provided no explanation on the Talk page.
When I complained about this on the talk page, Rev of Bru makes three assertions:
User:The Rev of Bru is obviously just an older incarnation of User:CheeseDreams which she has now starting using again, so re-banning based on the ArbCom decision is probably more appropriate than mediation. Jayjg (talk) 06:07, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
Content dispute with possible POV issues at Armenian Genocide. Please see /Archive 15 for details. No mediator has volunteered to take on this case yet.
I've been having this issue on the page for a while, but its getting ridiculous. The issue started during the Australian Election last year, when Deputy Prime Minister John Anderson made a couple of comments on the Australian Greens, in the form of humour but in line with how Anderson normally speaks. I have added these quotes a number of times to the page, and they are valid. However, Adam Carr, who works for my local MP, and a member of the Australian Labour Party, has repeatedly removed these quotes calling them jokes. I have already discussed it with him on the Talk Page, however, Doctor Carr has acted highly pompous on this issue, and keeps removing the quotes calling them "frivilous" and alike. He has also then proceeded to take a shot at me for being of the youth division of the Liberal Party, "Anderson's joke lines, given out of context, are unencyclopaedic, no matter how amusing Young Liberals find them", and has tried to discount my ability to edit on the Wikipedia. These quotes are in context, but it is impossible to let others view them when Doctor Carr keeps judging what are and what are not quotes. I am requesting another credible user mediate and set out what and what can be quoted and whether or not Doctor Carr has been acting pompously on this issue. Evolver of Borg 18:39, 1 May 2005 (UTC)

I replied to Philwelch's RFC and then wrote one of my own in regards to your behaviour. You then rewrote Phil's RFC after it had already been certified and after I had already written a detailed response.

User:Joshuaschroeder's summary of the conflict:
User:Ungtss is a creationist editor of many articles who maintains editorial control over articles by making accusations that his opponents haven't researched and are biased in providing edits. This is particularly apparent in Theistic realism where Ungtss has refused multiple attempts on the talkpage to work with him to resolve conflict. Currently I have been trying to work with him to gain an understanding of where to go with the piece on theistic realism, but his insistence that I don't know what I'm talking about is getting tiresome. Joshuaschroeder 04:21, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
User:Ungtss's summarry of the conflict: Schroeder is a materialist editor who maintains editorial control over articles by engaging all editors who disagree with him in endless debates in an effort to tire them out. this has recently been observed by other editors here and here, in his recent effort to delete the page entirely, which he summarized as follows: [29]. Additionally, he was recently blocked for 24 hours for a violation of the 3rr on this page. he repeatedly deletes portions of cited quotes from authors writing about the topic of the article, and will edit war when necessary. the 3rr violation was over this edit. i have no objection to mediation.

User:Sarcelles is banned in the German and French Wikipedias, he has been blocked several times in the Italian and nds:-Wikipedias. The reason for action against him was usually that he produced dozens of badly written stubs per day, with information which he was not prepared to prove and which often enough turned out to be simply wrong after some follow-up. I was among those who cleaned up the mess he left in the German Wikipedia. It seems that after he was temporarily blocked in nds:, he now starts his activities in the English language Wikipedia. His contributions to follow up are here, the quality seems to have improved in comparison to what he contributed in de:, however, I have good reasons to doubt the correctness.

I have tried my best to ask this user to justify his edits and have explained in detail why they are totally unmerited. Basically this user is trying to slant a few articles very heavily to PowerPC when it is totally inappropriate. For example, why should PowerPC be given more mention on the Processor article when there are literally hundreds of other processor architectures we could list? PowerPC is a notable architecture, but it isn't any more important than the many many others I can think of. I have confronted the user with these facts and his only response is to re-add his edits, give me a list of applications of the PowerPC processors (which, I might add, are applications of many many different types of CPUs), and post profanity on my talk page. The bulk of this discussion can be found on my talk page. I'm somewhat tempted not to even ask for mediation here since the user has shown little civility or willing to budge on his ridiculous position, but I'd rather give him a chance to be reasoned with first. -- uberpenguin 14:06, 2005 May 7 (UTC)

IBM never publicly disclosed the POWER ISA which was evolving from AS\400,RS\6000,system\360{199xAD), and later powerpc.I guest its easier to belief that it only needed about 50 engineers{i grossly exaggerated from memory,might be less} sent from Motorola/apple to IBM research before the public unveiling of the PowerPC 601 to synergize IBM’s IP into what is now POWER/PowerPC. the facility which would become the center for research&development for the apple/ibm/motorola{aim} alliance was located at _____{either ibm research campus/motorola site i’m tiredLookUpSomTimeNever}.
you keep on insisting that PowerPC is an openStandard and on this i agree. in 1996(i think) exponential technologies release 750(notSure,7??). but there was a dispute(dontRemeberDetails) between apple/motorola/exponentialTech. what became of ET (baughtByAIMdontRemeber)

>>>>>>>>uberpenquin wikipedia is a menagerie of dis-conjointed ideas and beliefs with the hope that future refinements will find an equilibrium between fact and fiction. i do not profess to be an expert on all thing POWER/PowerPC, but if i were you would respectfully allow my revisions, that same courtesy would be offered to you if you knew of all things related to POWER/PowerPC. but neither case is true. i really don't have a problem with the term aim alliance but in the context in which its used. to promulgate the belief that each member contributed 1/3 to the creation of PowerPC is a terrible injustice exacted upon the hundreds of engineers at IBM research, and marginalizes all previous endeavors in system design(system\360,AS\400,RS\6000,.........etc.) as wasted efforts. IBM never publicly disclosed the POWER ISA which was evolving from AS\400,RS\6000,system\360{199xAD), and later powerpc.I guest its easier to belief that it only needed about 50 engineers{i grossly exaggerated from memory,might be less} sent from Motorola/apple to IBM research before the public unveiling of the PowerPC 601 to synergize IBM’s IP into what is now POWER/PowerPC. the facility which would become the center for research&development for the apple/ibm/motorola{aim} alliance was located at _____{either ibm research campus/motorola site i’m tiredLookUpSomTimeNever}.
you keep on insisting that PowerPC is an openStandard and on this i agree. in 1996(i think) exponential technologies release 750(notSure,7??). but there was a dispute(dontRemeberDetails) between apple/motorola/exponentialTech. what became of ET (baughtByAIMdontRemeber)
