Request Information

Request made by: Payneos 06:04, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Where is the issue taking place?: The Opie and Anthony Page.

Who's involved?: Myself and Attention Whore

What's going on?: We are in disagreement over the way this delicate issue should be handled. I contend it should be kept NPOV, not mean-spirited, and fair, he insists on including slanderous material and making false claims that have no cited back up.

What would you like to change about that?: I'd like to reach a middle ground, but as with the last times this has come up he has stonewalled the issue to only have it done his way.

Would you prefer we work discreetly? If so, how can we reach you?: Please intervene directly.

Mediator response

A prior MedCab case was started as Wikipedia:Mediation_Cabal/Cases/2006-03-21_Opie_and_Anthony but was disposed of as unresolved. CQJ 18:56, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Compromise offers

This section is for listing and discussing compromise offers.

A compromise was supposedly reached after the last time this subject came up, but was quickly reversed by Payneos and his co-hort to censor it. This also involves Darx23 and Tyler--Durden (who appear to be the same person.) as well as others who visit less frequently. Attention whore 18:07, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, a compromise was never reached as a general consensus was never offically reached due to my withdrawl from the situation as it was becoming frustrating to communicate with you in a reasonable manner. I have come up with a more suitable, reasonable way of including the article in question, however your insistance on having it your way only (as shown by your repeated attempts at reverting to your original, controversial way) rather than constructively addressing the situation have led to this. Also, please do not use personal attacks, I do not have "co-horts." Payneos 18:11, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
