Other steps in dispute resolution that have been attempted:

Issues to be mediated

  • Counter to the WP:NEO guidelines should the article be written while actually utilizing the "islamophobia" neologism outside of quotes and citations?

Additional issues to be mediated

  • In respect to this neologism's status should it have an Examples of use in public discourse section (similar to the Islamofascism) article as it does in this version or not, as in this version?

All parties should sign below, indicating that they agree to mediate the issue. If any party fails to sign, or if a party indicates they do not agree, then the mediation will be rejected.
  • Agree. Netscott 17:11, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Agree on the condition that Irishpunktom end his personal attacks and name-calling against me. It doesn't make any sense, and it will not be possible to discuss any such serious matters without some basic civility, and seen in the light of the very recent and very serious NPA violations, this will have to be agreed to by Irishpunktom for me to accept and spend time on any such mediation. -- Karl Meier 17:43, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
We don't take conditional accepts; you have to either agree or disagree. You may propose conditions as a part of your continued participation once the mediation is accepted, but anything other than "Agree" is considered to be a refusal to take part. See the instructions on Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_mediation/Sample#Parties.27_agreement_to_mediate: Only signatures should go here, along with either "Agree" or "Do not agree." Any additional comments will be removed by a member of the Mediation Committee. Please indicate stright agreement, or disagreement. Essjay (Talk • Connect) 01:01, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Other steps in dispute resolution that have been attempted:


Issues to be mediated

  • User Digi Wiki's refusal to accept consensus to Kven-related articles

Additional issues to be mediated

  • User Digi Wiki's general behaviour: the use of multiple sock puppets, using them to appear to be several users, abusive behaviour, abuse of talk pages.
  • The insistence on conflating two separate but related topics into one messy discussion on one of them. To wit: The historical term "kven" refers to a group of people around the Baltic Sea; these may or may not be the descendants to contemporary kvens, an ethnic minority in the north of Norway. These should be separate articles, as only one topic is actually controversial. --Leifern 23:50, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
I assume you mean "ancestors", not "descendants". Tupsharru 09:30, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Neo-Tech

Issues to be mediated

  • This concerns the article, Neo-Tech. Bi claims that books published by Integrated Management Associates (a company that publishes material about a philosophy called Neo-Tech) cannot be used as references for the article about Neo-Tech ("Incidentally, the rules also say that "self-published books" are unacceptable as sources. Well, I think I'm going to throw out lots of stuff that come only from Neo-Tech's self-publications. Bi 10:03, 4 May 2006 (UTC)"), which is bizarre becase it's the only sources on the philosophy. Lest there be any doubt, WP:V plainly says: Self-published sources, and published sources of dubious reliability, may be used only as sources of information on themselves, and only in articles about them. For example, the Stormfront website may be used as a source of information on itself in an article about Stormfront, so long as the information is notable, not unduly self-aggrandizing, and not contradicted by reliable, third-party published sources. Self-published sources may never be used as sources of information on another person or topic. Of course you can use the books as sources about the philosophy, in the article about the philosophy! Otherwise, the article would be blank! (As an aside, I'd like to note that the company also publishes the work of other writers not associated with the company as well). Also, he sources "criticism" of Neo-Tech from web forums, self-published web pages, etc rather than from credible published sources. He expressed a desire for form dispute resolution, as have I. Please assist enforcing the Misplaced Pages policies on sourcing. It should be pretty simple and straightforward to mediate this. Thank you. RJII 01:58, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Additional issues to be mediated

  • Thank you. In addition to being self-published, the Neo-Tech literature can be considered to be "unduly self-aggrandizing", which WP:V does not allow. Besides, given that Neo-Tech literature is self-published and self-aggrandizing, it would seem unfair to use a different standard for admitting views opposed to Neo-Tech. Bi 06:07, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
