Reject case.
Insufficient attempts at employing alternative mediums for dispute resolution have been undertaken: when filing a request for formal Mediation, it is expected that such forums as third opinion, requests for comment, and informal mediation have been explored without success.
The issues to be mediated are comprised in part of issues of editorial conduct; that is, the issues to be mediated are partially concerning how an editor has conducted himself in a Wikipedia dispute, as opposed to what content matters are being disagreed over. Such matters are not suited for formal mediation, and should be directed at a more appropriate medium of handling, such as the incidents noticeboard, requests for comment, or WQA.
As an aside, policy is rather clear with regards to differences of opinion over whether to use American or British English. Repeatedly, when it has been proposed that one type of English variant be used, the consensus has been that it is wildly impractical to implement such a system, and furthermore there is no agreement on which style should be chosen; in the past resulted in repeated, needless edit warring, and it truly is not worth bothering oneself over. See also, Wikipedia:Manual of Style#National varieties of English and Wikipedia:Standardize spellings/Archive.

[edit]Other steps in dispute resolution that have been attempted
[edit]I and others fine editors have attempted to discuss on the talk page and have also personally reached out to editors and admins. However, they refuse to respond and continually revert edits that are arguably appropriate.
Issues to be mediated
[edit]- The party filing this request uses this section to list the issues for mediation. Other parties can list additional issues in the section below.
The article should reference the homeless bums in pioneer courthouse square. It is a fact that they are there. Nonetheless, admins and other unscrupulous people are attempting to scrub the page clean so there is no mention of homeless bums. It is important to mention these facts in the article. But this is censorship.
Instead of discussing the issue and trying to resolve it (as apparently I and several other users have attempted) unscrupulous editors just revert to the previous version and they have attempted to delete the entire talk page and archive it even though the discussion is fully relevant now and there are apparently users who disagree with the unscrupulous deleting of information about homeless bums. Horrendous admins have also semi-protected the page for no reason. I am willing to mediate this issue and discuss it with them. But they seem unwilling.
I would like to make them understand that they are violating the rules of Wikipedia and should allow fully appropriate edits to stand.

Insufficient discussion and prior dispute resolution attempts have been made to justify adding this case to the backlog at the Committee at the present time.

I make this decision on the grounds that you would be better suited to asking for resolution at the Mediation Cabal, given your dispute is relatively narrow in the scope of the issues; and that I believe the parties may benefit from the more informal nature of the Mediation Cabal, given the nature of this dispute.

Decision of the Mediation Committee
[edit]- A member of the Mediation Committee will indicate acceptance/rejection/other relevant notes in this section. Non-Committee members should not edit this section.
Reject.
The article "Darren Meade (bodybuilder)" does not seem to exist; no content-related issues to be Mediated have been presented (although indeed ones regarding administrator conduct and of editorial conduct have); and no parties to the dispute have been named. Unfortunately, there simply seems to be nothing for this Committee to assist with, from the information provided. If the filer, "Samantha" (again, the named filer—full name given, "Samantha Decanta"—does not seem to be a registered account), has further information that could be provided, I am willing to assist with a re-filing of this request with the required dispute data and history, as well as with formatting matters. For now, however, there seems to be nothing to handle.The issues to be mediated make reference to article deletion, the inference being that this request is ultimately a complaint over a speedy deletion. Should this be the case, attention is directed at Wikipedia:Why was my page deleted?, an information page regarding deleted articles; at Wikipedia:Deletion review, a process where article deletions—and whether they are justified—can be considered; and at Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion, an information page regarding the "speedy deletion criterion" by which it seems the bodybuilder article was deleted. Deletions, and whether they were justified, are not the purview of this Committee, however, and therefore a case of that nature cannot be accepted.

Comment: A twelve hour window? That's kinda expedited. New messages on my talk page this morning included both the request and the refusal. --Amwestover (talk) 17:42, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
Comment: Agreed. I could be mistaken about this, but my message said there was seven days to respond? --VictorC (talk) 17:46, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
- Not quite. The case will remain open for a maximum of seven days in so long as there is no party opposition; as soon as a party indicates he or she is unwilling to participate in the Mediation, the Committee's procedure is to reject the case at that point. Of course, we also reject if all parties have failed to agree within seven days (even if there has been no disagreement). I'm sorry if this is a disappointment; you are welcome to discuss the matter amongst yourselves, and perhaps discuss with the dissenting parties their rationale for not agreeing—with a view to refiling the case at a later date.

Issues to be mediated
[edit]- The party filing this request uses this section to list the issues for mediation. Other parties can list additional issues in the section below.
- Issue 1: When I first read the article on "glasnost" I noticed many inaccracies (some of them were removed by the author(s) since. All my attempts to add a couple of paragraphs of politically neutral corrections were "reverted". At first, I thought it was a mistake, but it kept happaning. I have much historical knowledge on the issue (especially, since I lived through this policy) and I beleive my input was going to be valuable. I like to use Wikipedia, and even though I have seen historical inaccuracies before, this was the first time I tried to edit what I believe to be a description of a very significant process in the former USSR.
If I am doing something wrong, I need a clear explanation on what mistakes were made... Otherwise it appears that some authors of wikipedia have a complete monopoly on contents of the articles, not allowing any edits (in my case, actually, additions).
Please, help
