There are a few guidelines for my talk page and, while I will never completely delete a comment made on this page, I may move it to another (probably sub-page) if it does not comply with these simple guidelines.


# This is a safe space. You can say whatever you like on this page without fear of retribution or attack, from me or other users.
# This is a constructive space. Positive criticisms designed to better the encyclopedia and its environment are welcome, but negative comments designed to belittle a person or point of view are not.
# This is a free speech space. You can say whatever you like on this page without fear of being censored.
# This is an open space. Anything may be discussed here.


{{cross}} '''Just Say No''' to "checkers".
This guidelines are hierarchised from top to bottom so, for instance, a personal attack against another user will not be covered under the "free speech" guideline and will be moved.

:Just to give you an update I have little to do with Democratic Underground and the issue with FAAFA that I have takes place mainly outside of that. I had compiled a page following what I felt were bad edits to a noticeboard and have kept it since, this was while he was editing under {{vandal|NBGPWS}}. After he changed his name I kept the list of incidents and it just happens that many of the people coincide with that articles as they seem to know eachother off wiki, or butted heads in the past. That is why it seems odd that I am introducing it. I am not involved in the Democratic Underground debate at all, the issue stems from outside of it, but contains many of the same people. --]<s>]</s> 03:22, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Che -- I think the Starwood spamming is clear case of policy violation, therefore not a case for mediation. I think ] about ], and how that is a precedent for no internal links from perfomers/presenters to the festival, are relevant. I don't think this case should have ever gone to mediation. As I seriously doubt anyone who is familiar with WP linkspam policies would support this google bombing attempt, how could a "neutral" mediator who is also familiar with WP policy even be found? In addition to WP policy, I think the consensus on the charges against Matisse show community consensus that it was a clear-cut case of spamming. So, my question is, what's the best way to deal with the spammers at this point? --] ]<font color="navy">♦</font>] 23:33, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Che - Just to clarify my statement above: I didn't mean to declare that the attempted mediation should be abandoned. Rather that, given some of what has (or has not) transpired, I question whether it was the most effective or appropriate approach to the situation. Perhaps the RfC should have been done first, and maybe the problem could have been taken care of that way. But if you think you can get mediation to work with the parties involved, I certainly welcome you to come on in as mediator :-) --] ]<font color="navy">♦</font>] 06:15, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your offer of mediation. Might I ask a question regarding how you might conduct the mediation? Will you insist that the mediation address ''current'' issues? What will be your policy toward parties who raise user conduct accusations that have already been list on ] or in user conduct RfC's? Please let me know if you have plans to deal with such situations. Thanks. Sincerely --] <font color = "blue"><sup>]</sup></font> 12:57, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

I hope this finds you well.
Greetings, Che - I would be happy to have you mediate the issue. Unlike BostonMa, however, I do believe that a look at the history of this issue is important, and the behavior of the people who have initiated it. I feel that my actions have been steered by the very people who turned around and objected to them, some of whom have made some rather nasty accusations and assumptions of bad faith, and now seem to want to set the bars much higher on the standards for inclusion of input than usual. Kathryn's statement above is an example: 3 statements on the futility or inappropriatness of the mediation, 3 accusations of spamming and one of "google-bombing" in a single paragraph! My attempts to find a middle-ground position and my removal of external links seem to only encourage this. I would welcome an objective view. ] 20:12, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm reluctant to respond to Pigman's post on the mediation site since you asked us not to, but I think he's straying into motives and away from the issue, and using negative terms like "gratuitous" and "with little regard" (unlike the other contributors so far). I'm not whining, I just hate to leave his statement unchallenged (which I could do on several points). ] 19:45, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
