Request Information

 * Request made by: Qwertyus 23:44, 21 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Where is the issue taking place?
 * Revolutionary Socialism


 * Who's involved?
 * Me, User:Thecrisis5 and anonymous 67.175.237.68 (which may be Thecrisis5).


 * What's going on?
 * IMO, the article is pov and contains almost exclusively irrelevant info. After removing some of this info and placing an npov tag, I was accused of vandalism. Also, the npov was repeatedly removed.
 * More specifically: The article apparently describes some minor American communist group. However, the identity of this group remains elusive as Thecrisis5 refuses to disclose much information about it. In any case, "revolutionary socialism" is a term used over the past century by many different political parties and groups, and the article is pov since it refers to one single group as "the Revolutionary Socialists" without making clear even which group this is.


 * ''What would you like to change about that?
 * The article needs to be rewritten to acknowledge who's viewpoint is being described, or it should be removed.


 * Would you prefer we work discreetly? If so, how can we reach you?
 * No thank you.

Mediator response

 * Closing case. Article seems to have undergone a few changes, moves/redirects. Any disputes seem to have ceased and no new ones appear to need mediation. SynergeticMaggot 17:18, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
