Regimemachine (talk) on Yuku, ezboard (NEW)

Brief: There is an unbiased user attempting to deface every wiki that represents the ezboard and yuku product. I have multiple links to websites where he even states things like “If you go and take a look at it, you'll see that I'm basically giving them a hard time with Yuku and that pile of poo formerly known as ezboard. I'm trying to expose them for yet more failed promises, missed deadlines, etc.” The user is RichardHMorris. Please take a look at the Yuku discussion page.

Messhermit (talk) on Alberto Fujimori, Perú, Dictator (NEW)

Brief: Bdean1963 apparently has his own political agenda, had refused so far to several attempts by my part to contact him and discuss the problems. He keeps asking for "sources" when he feels like (and modifying without sources what he feels like), deleting information that does not suit his opinion and finally, I have spotted him using wikipedia for advertising political T-shirts, even modifying some articles (such as "dictator", "Milosevic" and "despot") to make them more appealing. I have received 2 direct reply from him (which was not very helpful, and some political spam too) in which he proclaims to be a "Professor", that I "Should do my homework" and support the "punishment" of Fujimori. Currently I don't know what to do. (read full description) -- Messhermit 14:59, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Mlaroche (talk) on Talk:United States Postal Service (Closed)

Brief: I apologize if this is the incorrect forum - however, User:TC Craig is threatening to get a subpoena to find the exact name of User:Economizer because Economizer addressed TC Craig by username. I'm looking for a more experienced wikipedian to just say "Hey, chill, he's done nothing wrong." Thanks! (read full description) -- Matt 22:42, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

DPeterson (talk) on Advocates for Children in Therapy (open)

Brief: User FCYTravis is adamant about his position that material on the page is now acceptable because it is not verified. In addition, I think he is abusing his Admin priv. by adding to this protected page. Finally, he is not abiding by a poll and refused mediation (read full description)

Accepted by אמר Steve Caruso _(desk/AMA) 14:31, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

The abuse claim is ludicrous, and so is the poll. I added material to the protected page that DPeterson and his allies specifically requested to be added - I had previously objected to this material, but in a spirit of cooperation, agreed to disagree and replaced it per their wishes. This settled one of the problems under dispute - in DPeterson's favor. Would DPeterson rather I not have put it there? If so, why did DPeterson request that it be put back? The poll is equally absurd - it consisted of three people, including DPeterson, all of whom are DPeterson's editing allies on related pages. Such a "poll" clearly doesn't represent any sort of community consensus. I did not protect the page - it was done by a third-party admin at my request to stop the edit war. FCYTravis 01:21, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Per DPeterson's request, I have reverted my edit to the protected page to the version without the "See also" section. FCYTravis 01:37, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

It was not my request for him to do so. Furthermore his editing and reverting of my talk page isn't something that an administrator should do. I continue to reques that he consider mediation, but he refuses. Furthermore, I believe his comments here in my request for an advocate are not appropriate. DPeterson 01:47, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Guys, please take note that this isn't the place for arguement or debate. Please take the arguement to either of your user talk pages. Thank You. -Royalguard11 02:11, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

vcrs (talk) on Carrying capacity (Open)

Brief: I attempted to add some scholarly critiques of carrying capacity from different perspectives; Lee Wells seems to take any critique as a challenging argument to be answered. S/he has now rewritten the whole page as an essay promoting his/her point of view (and adding grammatical errors to boot). S/he doesn't seem to understand that other points of view exist or deserve mention. I would like to reinstate the previous page. But I don't know how, and I don't want to get into some kind of war with this person. (read full description) -- Vcrs 04:30, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Brief: Flash kz (talk) erases any negative information about RealPlayer. In particular,

• He or she erases the sentence "In 2006, PCWorld named it the second worst tech product of all time .", claiming that it is NPOV violation.
• He or she erases critical links about it, calling them "links to spam blogs".
• He or she erases links to RealAlternative, claiming that "RealAlternative is illegal"

Ken Arromdee (talk) on Talk:Smallville (TV series)#Character basis (open)

Brief: User Bignole continually insists on including a sentence stating that Smallville is based on the DC character Superman. This seemingly obvious statement is actually in dispute because of the lawsuit by the heirs of Jerry Siegel, who say that Smallville is really based on Superboy, who is legally a distinct character. NPOV would require stating the two competing claims and not taking a position on which one is correct; Bignole refuses to let me do that. I tried getting a third opinion (who agreed with me about NPOV) and I also tried a RFC, which resulted in no comments whatsoever. I have absolutely no idea what to do at this point.

Thestick (talk) on Al-Aqsa Mosque Talk:Al-Aqsa Mosque (Open)

Brief: Two users (Amoruso and Chevdo) are posting their own politically motived opinions in a section which cites incorrect articles, I have discussed it with them in the talk page, and I added lines in the section highlighting the information was false, however they removed my edits, and I removed the section after posting considerable amount of proof that it was false and pointless. However, Amoruso has restored it once again, and he keeps making up his own "highly disputed" topics.

Crockspot (talk) on Jeff Gannon, List of famous prostitutes and courtesans (Open)

Brief: I am involved in a dispute with an admin, Gamaliel, over the sourcing and compliance of Jeff Gannon, a biography of a living person. The article asserts that Gannon is a male prostitute, and is categorized as such. The sources, however, fail to meet the extra stringent sourcing criteria of WP:BLP, being editorials and political pieces that fail to provide any real proof that Gannon is indeed a prostitute. Gannon has made no public admissions of being a prostitute, nor has he ever been arrested, charged, or convicted of prostitution. There are several other articles, for example, List of famous prostitutes and courtesans, which also make this allegation. In the example case, there is no sourcing at all, simply a wikilink back to Jeff Gannon, which the admin in question asserts is good enough sourcing. I have removed these statements several times, citing WP:BLP, only to have my edits reverted by the admin in question. I have attempted to discuss the issues with this admin, but he/she will only address what they percieve to be attacks made by me. No fruitful discussion seems possible. I have had political disagreements with this person before, but that does not bother me. This particular conflict, however, is a liability issue for Misplaced Pages.

Brief: Dispute over a pop culture section featuring games that feature weapon in article. I say it should be removed for being fan/list cruft and being non-relevant and/or non-notable in relation to the historical weapon. Pedant, an advocate representing HappyApples is using arguments that comment on my own actions instead of explaining how the section in question is relevant past other games featuring pop-culture game links and the fact the game does feature the weapon, a Hwacha.

Brief: User:ScienceApologist regularly removes peer-reviewed material which he personally disagrees with. He will not engage in meaningful discussion on his edits. He is a self-proclaimed "Deletionist", and considers many "fringe" subjects to be pseudoscience (example available). I enjoy describing controversial material in an NPOV manner.

vikramsidhu (talk) on The Day Has Come (On Hold)

Brief: User Branchout continues to add the line "The album sales for this cd have been very low and is concidered a flop by producers and fans" to The Day Has Come. However, this is clearly his/her personal opinion as he has no solid proof/links from credible sources that either producers or fans consider this album a "flop".

The first time he proceeded to place a link to a message board (which is not a credible source for citations as far as I understand) with the passage above. After this incident, I removed the comments from the page and added a note in his profile -- it stated until he finds a proper source which clearly states that anyone considers this album a flop, he should refrain from adding the passage in. This time, he/she decided to not log-in (only the IP number was showing), but still added in the exact same line. As this is his/her OWN opinion (as far as I can see), I don't think that the passage is acceptable for inclusion into the page unless BranchOut can find a credible source.

RandomGalen (talk) on Military and economic aid in the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict (open)

Brief: User Tewfik engaged in edit warfare over a brief summary of foreign aid to Israel appearing in the article. Cites WP:V/WP:OR for United States Congress reports, a World Policy Institute report, and DCSA requests which all establish a connection between foreign aid and makeup of the IDF force operating in Lebanon currently.

Lee_Bailey (talk) on Stephen Colbert, The Colbert Report and related (open)

Brief: I've been involved in a bit of a dispute over the placement of a link on Stephen Colbert related pages. I haven't pursued dispute resolution yet, but would simply like if someone could look over the case and offer their "legal" advice on how (or whether) to pursue it. One editor is repeatedly adding a link to a site, www.tekjansen.com, where the site's author strongly implies, but does not directly state, that he is Stephen Colbert. I'm uncomfortable with this because the site apparently sells memberships to access content supposedly written by Colbert. The user who keeps adding link is a user of their forum, and s/he seems to be interested in adding the link to generate traffic there. What makes this complicated is that I'm not sure the site doesn't belong to Colbert. I'm just not sure what the correct thing is to do. Note: I've moved my full description location to a subpage of my talk because I'd like to handle this semi-privately until I've figured out what to do. Things are already somewhat tense. I can also be contacted via email. (read full description)

Joehazelton (talk) on Peter Roskam (open)

Brief: It is my humble opinon that the recent editing on this page is very bias. Futher more, one of the active editors also edits on the Tammy Duckworth pages as well and is less agressive in adding negative spin on that page vers on Roskams page. Both Roskam and Duckworh are now running for Nov 2006 for this hotly contested seat for the Illinois 6th house distict. My edits get wiped with mumbo jumbo and theats to me. I can read and these guys are spinning this article in a negative way. There is also a wiki admin, a self described Democrat, over see this right now.

Bakemono (talk) on Neurofunk (closed)

Brief: A malicious and extremely uncivil vandal, that's continually editing anonymously under a changing IP address (usually starting with 84.44.*.*), has been purposefully removing factually sound information from the listed Wiki-article. I've tried amicably engaging said user/IP address numerous times regarding the dispute, but to no avail -- the only responses I get are insults and excuses as to why they won't logically engage me on the issue at hand. This back-and-forth has gotten nowhere, instead becoming worse -- the user's only grown increasingly hostile (to the point of actual threats against me). Moreover, in an apparent attempt to 'get me back,' he also went and blatantly vandalized two articles I'd had previous involvement with: Cryptic Audio & Kouta Hirano.

Michael Mathieson, the CEO of the company, threatened to sue for rightful ownership of the domain name http://www.michaelmathieson.co.uk through Nominet and had a wiki satirising him and his business taken down. In the interest of the public, I think a link to latest domain name http://www.michaelmathiesonsucks.com should not be removed from this page.(read full description) -- Bongo1234 02:06, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Open on Advocate K-UNIT. אמר Steve Caruso _(desk/AMA) 19:26, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

If an advocate is still needed, I've had a lot of experience with problems in the 'Judeo-Christian constellation', all of which were resolved with no further action needed. User:Pedant 22:39, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Whatever happened with this. The matter was never resolved. Pro-link people like me saw there was mediation coming so held back, then Lee Baily said "don't moderate, they went away"... what kind of solution is that? Feels very unethical. GBH 02:41, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Its closed now... It was a very long and complex dispute (which I was completely unqualified for - about ancient Jewish history and the like) that ended recently. Sorry if it seemed nothing was hapenning but its taken care of now.--K-UNIT 10:13, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Painbearer (talk) on Keane (unresolved)

In brief I wanted to make the article of the band Keane, much simpler, to trim in my opinion highly redundant and highly overcumbant information on it. I wanted it to be as informative, as short and as good as possible. I wanted it be like this. Well, an ultra-fan of Keane, called Fluence doesn't want that. He wants his article to be his vehicle. That's why he is reverting my edits, saying that Misplaced Pages is "a place that storates all human knowledge" and apparently can't give any kind of justification for his edits. That's why I am refering here. I try to assume good faith and try to explain as thoroughly as possible to Fluence, but apparently to no avail and he with indifferent tone say that we will probably revert each other till the end of time. That's highly annoying for me, really. I know it's hard for the guy to see his own material, cut out of the band's article, but as far as I'm concerned I as well as many people are not aiming for for biography/books or publicity pages about these bands,but rather extensive, informative and well-formed articles. Thus I really need someone's help, because things get to blows too quickly. I am trying to be as amiable as possible, but my patience also has it limits.

Thank you for your time

Regards: Painbearer 07:57, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

You have my support. I have undertaken a few sweeping changes on the article as its a mess at the moment. From my position I can see you have taken the necessary action to resolve this diplomatically. Fluence has even nominated this article as a good example which is in very poor form.

Regards --Snecklifter 15:09, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

I don't want that becuase you're wrong. I may accept there's some redundant information that I've tried to eliminate. However, on its FA nomination nobody mention about an ugly poster or the extra photos or even the list of countries Keane have visited, so that is purely your opinion and it doesn't affects the Misplaced Pages community. I think you two are the only ones on all the communtity that think that way, so I'm not giving up. And I only reverted the edits you made to the article because you eliminated also important information.

This is not a publicity page for Keane also. They are an important band so they don't need to be published here.
About the Misplaced Pages, Jimbo Wales said that, not me. And the next time you wish to protect a page, make sure is really protected--Fluence 01:23, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

I've got nothing else to say but that I support Fluence. Victoria Eleanor 14:36, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

That sounds dull. If you have nothing to say, than why saying something at all? Anyway, I request some advocate to come to help to resolve this conflict quickly, because things are getting ugly.

Margana (talk) on Psephos (under investigation)

Brief: User:Snottygobble is abusing his adminship to win an edit war. He protected the page once on his version and later twice blocked me for "edit warring" (there was no 3RR violation in either case). I believe he violated both protection and blocking policy. I'd like to bring this to an RfC but need a second editor who has tried to resolve the dispute. Maybe someone could just ask him not to do this again and, if he refuses, certify this on RfC.

Now pending on Advocate David.Mestel. אמר Steve Caruso _(desk/AMA) 15:01, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Accepted. David Mestel 18:52, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

This advocate was not helpful and has abandoned the case. Someone else please come forward. Margana 15:48, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Please rest assured that David has not abandoned you. He has voiced some concerns about the case to me, which I have tried to articulate on your talk page and I would be most grateful if we could discuss them. אמר Steve Caruso _{(desk/AMA/vote for me)} 02:25, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

I would be happy to assist David with this if he and Margana think that would be suitable. I've reviewed the discussion and some of the discussions on pages referenced in the discussion. User:Pedant 22:35, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
