Request Information

 * Request made by: Karrmann 22:30, 3 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Where is the issue taking place?
 * AMC The Machine and a wide variety of articles.


 * Who's involved?
 * user:Karrmann User:Wiarthurhu


 * What's going on?
 * User:Wiarthurhu continually reverts to a revision with a paragraph about a toy version of The Machine, and contained an image of a toy as the image represeiting the car. I removed the toy car images and paragraph about die cast models on the car, and placed an image of a real machine as the head image, but he continually reverts it. He then tagged the image I uploaded with no source (though it is sourced and properly tagged) and I reverted it. He then changed the image to that of a van, which I again reverted.


 * ''What would you like to change about that?
 * I would like for User:Wiarthurhu to stop attacking me, and other editers. I would also like for him to quit reverting all our edits (He is "owning the article to say"), and for him to understand that when we change his revisions, it is not personal nor are we bullying him, instead, we are just trying to make the article better.


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

Mediator response
I am taking this case and the others concerning Wiarthurhu off the new cases list as this doesn't particularlly seem to involve content needing mediation, but is a user conduct dispute. WP:RFAR may be a possibility, but it may be best to hold off on that for a bit while some more attempts are made. For now, I'm stalling a bit, but I will speak with Wiarthurhu since this is a clearly growing issue. Cowman109 Talk 06:16, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Wiarthurhu has been blocked for a week, and an arbcom case will very likely proceed should his pattern of actions continue - temporarily leaving this case open to help test a status template. Cowman109 Talk 04:13, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Wiarthurhu was indefinite blocked, so I guess this case is closed. Cowman109 Talk 06:46, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
