Mediation

Yes, please do help me Wikizach. Here's the link to where it's taking place. I was just about to ask for help, thanks for showing up. | AndonicO 11:51, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Hello again Wikizach. I just wanted to tell you that I will be leaving for a few days, and I wanted to know if you would take charge of my mediation. If you can't do it, please tell me, and I'll look for someone else. |

Ok, thanks Wikizach. Do you need me to explain how things are going? | AndonicO 14:49, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Here is where we are discussing the topic. It seems that everyone involved has accused another of something; some have even had RFIs. They are arguing over the materiel in the article and the sources. The article was blocked from editing by User:Shell Kinney in order for mediation to run more smoothly; it worked for a while, but it seems they have abandonded it, and are now arguing on the main talk page. I have asked them to say their opinions on the matter, and they have all done so, exept for Edditor. I was waiting for him to respond in order to continue the mediation. My next step would be to suggest a way to fix the problem, addressing the most important points, and see if they liked it (by vote). Is this a good step? I'll still be helping until about 5:00PM (UTC) tomorrow. | AndonicO 15:02, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

<unofficial>Oh, and thanks for signing your name into my autograph book, as well as adding it to my friends list.</unofficial> :-) | AndonicO 15:10, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

I saw the vote being used here. | AndonicO 15:12, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Why template? I don't see any templates there. Is is a mediation word I should know? | AndonicO 15:20, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Yes, that's what I was doing (or trying to), but like I said, I have to leave soon. | AndonicO 16:20, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Do you mean the vote? | AndonicO 16:27, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Ok, I will. | AndonicO 16:32, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Mountain Meadows massacre mediation

Excellent! I look forward to your leading us as mediator. Storm Rider 17:56, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

A poll?

In regard to this edit... I don't think that your approach to reaching consensus, that is by declaring polls and conventions for specific times, is the right way to go about things. Discussion about Esperanza governance is fragmented right now, and it seems like it would be best to determine consensus once those discussions have centralized and run their course. Why give authoritarian-looking orders? -- SCZenz 21:54, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

My idea is that debate should be ended when it stops being productive (e.g. when it starts going in circles), rather than at an arbitrary time. -- SCZenz 01:43, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Israeli Apartheid

Thank you, thank you , thank you. Thank you very much. The conduct of this POV group is disgraceful.

I'd like to focus on the edits. The liars and POV propagandists will focus on everthing but, expect accusations of the gamut of WP:Alpahbert Soup, etc. as a distraction.Kiyosaki 10:40, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Am I supposed to reply here?

Hi,

I thought I had already accepted the mediation case, perhaps I was supposed to reply on your talk page? I am fine with you mediating the case.

Thanks,

Mediation

Hi Wikizach, I don't think I necessarily need mediation in my case. However I would appreciate any thoughts or observations you might have if you have the time to review things. I am coming to an understanding of how things work at Misplaced Pages, and I believe that generally the policies are pretty reasonable. However I believe that extensive outreach and education, both inside and outside Misplaced Pages, are called for. I am trying to determine how I might be able to contribute to, or maybe initiate, this kind of effort. Speaking as a newbie, one's introduction to Misplaced Pages can be extremely harsh. I see this as a system dynamic and not based on any evil intent. Most people seem to have good intentions at heart.

However it seems there is an inherent adversarial nature that is built into the system. I would like to see a Misplaced Pages grow based on a dynamic of co-creation rather than debate. Do you agree? How might we achieve this? Now that I wrote this I think I'll put it on my user page as a thought starter. I look forward to your response.Dgray xplane 01:20, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
