| Dear Anthony, this note is in reference to mediation case, which you recently rejected. I'd like for you to see Ryan Postlethwaite's note in which he says that this case will in fact be accepted. Curious what happened? ] (]) 03:30, 15 April 2008 (UTC) | |||

problems at Wesleyan University
I'm kind of in an edit-war over at Wesleyan University, and I was hoping you might be able to help somehow. I've tried taking it up on the Talk page, but to no avail. The other person(s) refuse to discuss their edits and are openly violating NPOV. Thanks. -- Irn (talk) 18:05, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
- Some advice I often issue to those who are edit warring is located here, which I suggest you take a look at; I'm happy to direct other warring parties there, should the disruptive editing resume. I have also looked at implementing a protection on the article, but I don't think its prudent at the moment, due to the lack of recent activity. I do hope that you chose to invite the other parties to some serious dispute resolution, rather than continuing to war: trust me, it helps nobody. In fact, the best thing for you to do right now, is not make another revert to that article: if you do that, you'll be fine ;) Cheers, and thank you for contacting me, Anthøny 01:46, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
- I don't know what you mean by serious dispute resolution. I took it to the talk page, and the other person(s) said (in a nutshell), "I don't care about NPOV. I'm not participating in this discussion further." Given the reluctance to discuss, but not to stop reverting, I'm kind of at an impasse. --Irn (talk) 02:27, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
- I was indicating that, perhaps as dispute resolution attempts had cumulated in edit warring, that they weren't being treated with a wholly serious attitude? Forgive me if I'm incorrect in stating that; it was simply a logical link between the statements you'd made. With regards to the comments you stated were made by the other party; I'm going to have a look into the matter at hand. I'll get back to you soon. Anthøny 02:30, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry for the confusion there. Yeah, the edit warring was about to begin/had just begun. As I had tried discussing it, and the other(s) involved stopped responding, so I editted the page. Part of that edit was deleted. I reverted it, inviting them to re-join the discussion; that was then reverted. So I came here instead of continuing in that way.--Irn (talk) 02:41, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

'talk page clerking'
hi AGK - I thought I'd let you know that I've dropped a note in at the talk page of WP:BOO asking how editors there feel about trying out some possible 'clerking' - the sort of things I was thinking is the unifying of threads making similar points, the creation of either sub pages or sub areas to discuss specific aspects of the proposal (ie. does it conflict with NPOV etc. - and there are many more self-evidently 'groupable' issues) and stuff like that. I don't want to influence you at all in what you might do, because the whole point is to have an independent eye make calls like that - but I do think that a measured, but active hand (ie. fairly large structural shifts in the page) might help loads - and it'd be interesting to try out as a concept... cheers, Privatemusings (talk) 05:10, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
