Request Information

 * Request made by: Deepix 13:14, 6 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Where is the issue taking place?
 * http://kn.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Kannada_Support


 * Who's involved?
 * HP Nadig, myself


 * What's going on?
 * HP Nadig has included instructions at the top of the page that are deliberately vengeful, and that do not cover all aspects of Wikipedia Talk. When I installed a neutral link to official policy guidelines on Wikipedia Talk pages, namely Talk Page Guidelines, he has repeatedly replaced that text with his own version.  Further, he has now protected the page and has blocked my IP address.  This amounts to use of Wikipedia for selfish, revengeful motives, and goes against the democratic setup.

This blockage has also affected my contribution to the other section in the page, where I have brought up a discussion.


 * ''What would you like to change about that?
 * I would like the page be opened, and his biased and incomplete guideline-text must be replaced by my text that points to official guidelines.


 * If you'd prefer we work discreetly, how can we reach you?
 * n.deepak@gmail.com


 * Would you be willing to be a mediator yourself, and accept a mediation assignment in a different case?


 * Yes

Evidence
Original text by HP Nadig: http://kn.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Kannada_Support&oldid=16237

(Mentions "civility", "etiquette", etc. in a personal manner, indicative of a personal issue he has with me)

My replacement: http://kn.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Kannada_Support&oldid=16356

(Only one line with link to Wikipedia document)

After this he has repeatedly reverted my changes to sustain only his version. See history: http://kn.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Kannada_Support&action=history

When I made a request to him to change the text, he has replied in an offensive manner:
