Issues to be resolved

 * Issue 1.GreasePolice has reverted my edits a number of times and has refused to communicate with me despite my attempt to do so on this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:GreasePolice#Kitchen_exhaust_cleaning_article.
 * Issue 2. I believe that the user is reverting edits about the hot pressure washing method of cleaning, including a picture that shows that procedure and a decidedly nonpartisan verbal description, as he is in that business and may not use that particular method. I used to be in that business and both chemicals and hot water pressure are routinely used. The trade associations he references clearly acknowledge using the method, there is photographic evidence of it and he just deletes the content without any explanation and ignores communication attempts. He has also placed a direct quote from a stakeholder in the article, which I believe does not pass muster in terms of Wiki style. If there were some legitimate reason to exclude the content I added, I would certainly be interested in finding out what it is. He also uses unsubstantiated statements, such as the comment about the reputation of the cleaning companies. Sez who?


 * Outside view: I looked at the talk pages mentioned above, as well as the latest diff and I honestly don't see what the dispute is, since the two versions aren't really that different. I feel also that (1) content disputes should be discussed here rather than on user talk pages, that (2) the article can seriously use some sources, and (3) the article is actually a pretty good one as it now stands.

 * Hi: actually it's a moot point right now because since the latest changes, GreasePolice has stopped reverting without comment. I guess he saw the light. I am no longer requesting comment, as the current version is OK, especially if the original author can find Wiki suitable back-up for his remaining unsourced statements. Since Kilmer San helped, looks like we're OK now. --Achim (talk) 22:17, 8 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment In my opinion the present version is not yet OK, having unsourced statements about the negative reputation of firms doing this work.  It also needs to be made clear from the start that the entire article is discussing cleaning of exhausts in commercial kitchens., not home kitchens.    DGG ( talk ) 21:42, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
