The list of the users involved. For example:

Kjmonkey  really not adding to value of site Ravensfire simple reverted me Snettie

What is the dispute?
I would assume you would look at the Talk Pages from the main bio and political positions.

Well 1st the site is a mess if compared to the Rick Perry site which flows well, short Biography, and few Blue redirects. I admit that I am a Wiki user and not an editor. I was shocked to see so much obviously slanted material but then I guess you assume that it corrects itself and well I guess that is what I am throwing myself into.

The GOP Resignation Letter is perhaps the Key issue right now that I turned to wiki to understand. I did not believe that he simple slammed Reagan but Reagan had some problems. Besides what I wrote on the talk pages, the letter was a pivotal point to understanding the man. Much is made that he is running for the 3rd time, but he knew that he was giving up being a Congressman to promote an idea, and warn the country that our prosperity was based on debt and that it was going to come home to roost. Much as he warned of our foreign policy, but that is an issue I am having on the Ron Paul Positions page, so if you are brave and want to tackle two at once.

What steps have you already taken to try and resolve the dispute?
I made edits at first describing the reason in sidebar of the edit marker. I did several myself edits and was ban for a day (b/c of Perry edits). I gladly accepted the ban and found the discussion page to fully explain the importance of the full letter. I believe I have deflected the objections of Kjmonkey well and hoped that she would be reasoned with in this regard.

What issues needs to be addressed to help resolve the dispute
Well frankly by the looks of the site, and the material I have revised, the quick rebuke I received from Kjmonkey that I was snide to OrangeMike w/ I he did not take offense and I said nothing wrong. This is not a normal circumstance b/c of the debates and the fact that people look to Wiki for accurate, not slanted information. There will be those that look at that letter and agree w/ Paul and those that do not, but they will make an informed decision. that is what I want an informed public with accurate information.

What can we do to help resolve this issue?
I am afraid that Kjmonkey should be banned if she does not do her part to clean up the site, or look for factual information that is incorrect. I feel that since the site is so awful, and she has done nothing, to the approach taken on positions, then she would be taking a working for the enemy approach. It seems that she has been guarding the site for a long time with a particular distaste for Paul. As good as the Perry team is, she has been effective in making sure that the sight has numerous, sometimes subtle, sometimes blatant slant. A Political Position should reflect the candidate and this is a wholly separate page. Once again I am in awe of the Perry team, but can see why a newbie trying to make simple rational changes that common sense would dictate. Snettie 02:27, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
