- Note: Please limit posts to this page to brief statements about the nature of the dispute until a volunteer adopts the case. Keep ongoing discussions about the topic to the appropriate talk page(s), but feel free to provide links to the talk page(s) where discussion has happened (and may be ongoing) for the convenience of the informal mediator and other parties. This will help keep discussion from fragmenting out across more pages and make it easier for a volunteer to review the case. Thanks!

What's going on?
Prophaniti is attempting to insert a line into the "Styles" section of this band's page stating "The band has also been termed nu metal", sourced with their page on the site Musicmight. The author of musicmight is Garry Sharpe-Young, a well-known and published journalist on rock/metal music. The site content has also itself been published several times. As such, it is perfectly qualified as a reliable source and can be cited in said section. However, Ibaranoff24 refuses to accept this, repeatedly removing the information and reference. User:156.34.142.110 ("The Real Libs") has also commented, agreeing that the site is a reliable source.
What would you like to change about that?
I hope that with mediator intervention Ibaranoff24 can be made to see that he is incorrect about the source and thus that he should not continue to remove the sourced content from the article.
Mediator notes
Hi. I have opened this case. Below I have listed a few ground rules that should help us all reach an agreement quickly and productively. — 13:30, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
A few ground rules:
- I will create sections for each party to comment in. Please address all your comments to me, and not to the other participants.
- Please keep your statements at 200 words or less, unless asked otherwise.
- Please keep all comments on facts, and not on the past, present, or future behaviour of any other users
- All participants are asked to refrain from any editing of the disputed article, the disputed article's talk page, or each other's talk pages until the case is concluded. Any vandalism to the article will be caught by vandalism patrollers, so don't worry about that either.
- MedCab is not a formal part of the dispute resolution process, and cannot provide binding sanctions. Nevertheless, I ask that everyone involved agree to:
- Abide by the outcome of this case
- Immediately move to the next phase of dispute resolution if you are unable to agree with the final outcome
Please sign just your username below, with four tildes (~~~~) to indicate your agreement with the ground rules and your participation in the case.

Administrative notes
Discussion
- I highly suspect that the IP address (indentified as "The Real Libs") is actually Prophaniti himself. Prophaniti has been making a number of disputed edits and strongarming his own POV, later claiming that others are doing the same. I refuse to bow down to flakey editors trying to insert bad sources and poor writing into articles in order to dumb down their content. This case should be closed. There is no need for discussion.
