Dispute resolution

Att: YellowMonkey

With the complete deletion of Roland Perry content that you have done on three occasions the Adminstrator has locked the page for dispute resolution.

One user requested that the Roland Perry content be edited to remove facts that were not verified. This is a helpful suggestion. I have now studied the WikiPedia policy on Biographies_of_living_persons and believe that I can edit the content to that style.

YellowMonkey, please join with me in requesting that the Roland Perry page be unlocked by the Adminstrator so that I can make editing changes and then I would welcome your higher level editing skills to develop the material.

Att: YellowMonkey

Have added broader biographical information on the subject Roland Perry -- which includes balance of sourced reviews... some positive and some critical.

The previous posts were a collection of criticism with small scope.

Please direct your higher-level edit skills towards specific parts of the new material rather than mass-deletion as an edit-war is not becoming.

Look forward to your considered edits on the material.

Hello YellowMonkey

I have made this entry on Current Requests for Unprotection:

Roland Perry (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) Adminstrator advises he/she is now on holidays for weeks. I am a novice user and have made suggestions in the Talk Page. It may be that the YellowMonkey user (who has been deleting the new content) is a rival real-world author of the subject of the article Roland Perry. That would be a shame. Previous posts from YellowMonkey user and others earlier in the year were all critical -- one-sided in my opinion. I would like to work on Roland Perry page content to improve balance via sourced factual information. See Talk Page for my suggestion to edit content. Haruspex101 (talk) 01:34, 7 July 2009 (UTC) (novice user)

Let's edit the content together on the Roland Perry page. That's where the facts can be revealed and contested as required. That's my understanding of how Misplaced Pages works.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST (COI) ISSUES

Background:

o Roland Perry entry in Misplaced Pages was seeded with a short bio entry (now out of date) in Nov 2005. Roland Perry is an internationally published author and journalist with 40 years experience, writing books, articles and filmscripts in a variety of genres -- namely US politics, Espionage, History (World War 1), Biography, Fiction and Sport (mostly cricket).

o Criticism sourced from one rival cricket writer was added on 12 Dec 2008 by Mattinbgn user

o In Jan 2009 YellowMonkey user added a series of selective sourced criticism on some of Roland Perry’s publications. There was no balance to the criticism. YellowMoney is a highly experienced Misplaced Pages editor and self-discloses as a cricket writer. What is YellowMonkey's motive for posting only selective critical/negative material? Is there a Conflict of Interest (COI) here?

o Attempts were made in March 2009 to remove the one-sided criticism. This was reversed by an Administrator given there was no competing material to clarify the facts in a broader context.

Haruspex101 Arrives:

o Is not Roland Perry

o Has worked with Tim Burstall and Roland Perry on film development projects

o Is a novice Misplaced Pages editor. Has never added Misplaced Pages content before, and would welcome assistance with the technical aspects of doing so.

o Collated factual sourced material on Roland Perry and posted this on Misplaced Pages in July 2009 using journalistic style to bridge the sourced material and some opinion. Material is not contested by Roland Perry, even though it includes a good deal of sourced criticism of Roland Perry along with the overwhelming positive reviews of Roland Perry’s broad writing career which includes journalism and 22 published books on US politics, British espionage and history (WW1), along with a variety of biography, fiction as well as cricket history.

The Response:

o YellowMonkey returns and deletes all new material in its entirety

o Johnlp user adds a helpful tag: “This article may contain wording that promotes the subject through exaggeration of non-notable facts. Please remove or replace such wording.”

o Haruspex re-edits material offline but before can make online edits YellowMonkey deletes all content again, with the result that the content becomes protected under an editing-warring freeze by an Administrator until the dispute can be resolved

The Way Forward:

o YellowMonkey please declare any Conflicts of Interest. Are you a cricket writer seeing themselves in competition with Roland Perry in cricket writing?

o Unprotect Roland Perry page. Haruspex then edits in closer Bio of Living Author style and what is now understood to be Neutral Point of View (NPOV).

o Please all-the-world contribute on the Roland Perry factual material in a balanced way.

SOME DIALOGUE

YellowMonkey makes this post:

http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=User_talk:YellowMonkey&diff=301695541&oldid=301680673

Haruspex101 replies and encourages YellowMonkey to come to this Dispute Resolution Talk Page to work together on the substantive material under dispute:

Whole Article Deletion by YellowMonkey User

Posted NPOV revised-edits on content of Roland Perry (an internationally published author with 22 books). Content is balanced with appropriately sourced reviews (including criticism).

http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Roland_Perry&oldid=301966078

YellowMonkey deletes entire changes without comment:

http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Roland_Perry&diff=301966340&oldid=301966078

Dispute obviously requires independent intervention for resolution. I am a novice user. YellowMonkey is a highly experienced user. Some help to bridge the technical-skill divide is required and would be greatly appreciated.

Investigation into YellowMonkey Conflicts of Interest (COI) are also required.

Haruspex101 (talk) 01:32, 14 July 2009 (UTC) (novice user)

The Way Forward:

o Revert to:

http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Roland_Perry&oldid=301966078

o YellowMonkey please fully declare any Conflicts of Interest.
