Request Information

 * Request made by: authraw 01:50, 16 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Where is the issue taking place?
 * VeggieTales, Talk:VeggieTales


 * Who's involved?
 * Mainly me (authraw) and Tribbey


 * What's going on?
 * Tribbey doesn't seem to understand the idea behind facts and predictions. He insists on adding an upcoming movie called "Minnesota Cuke and the Quest for Noah's Umbrella" based on an ambiguous quote. This title is not found anywhere verifiable on the internet, yet he insists that it will be coming out. Likewise, he wants to remove the title of the upcoming movie "The Bob and Larry Movie" because it has no release date yet. He has been trying to make a deal involving the titles (well, we can put both of them in or take both of them out.) He has also recently added "Jonah: A Veggie Tales Sequel" to the list, of which I can find no record elsewhere (but we have not spoken about this particular point, yet)


 * ''What would you like to change about that?
 * I believe that the movie that has been announced as being released should be included in the article, but not the one that he supposes will come out.

This dispute has never become heated, but I am finding it difficult to come to an agreement (perhaps we are not understanding each other?) In any case, I would like for an outside party to come and look at the issue to help us solve it. :-)

UPDATE: It seems that mediation may not be neccesary after all. The dispute seems to have resolved itself--I am still waiting on Tribbey's response, but I have a feeling that it'll all work out on its own. Thanks! authraw 00:25, 20 April 2006 (UTC)


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


 * This is, following the Categorical Imperative, the idea that you might want to do
 * what you expect others to do. You don't have to, of course, that's why it's a question.


 * Regretfully, no.

Evidence
Please report evidence in this section with for misconduct and  for 3RR violations. If you need help ask a mediator or an advocate. Evidence is of limited use in mediation as the mediator has no authority. Providing some evidence may, however, be useful in making both sides act more civil. Etiquette: Although it's understandably difficult in a heated argument, if the other party is not as civil as you'd like them to be, make sure to be more civil than him or her, not less.

Compromise offers
This section is for listing and discussing compromise offers.

Comments by others
While using the talk page of the article in question to solve a dispute is encouraged to involve a larger audience, feel free to discuss the case below if that is not possible. Other mediators are also encouraged to join in on the discussion as Wikipedia is based on consensus.
