Request Information

 * Request made by: Markeer 14:58, 7 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Where is the issue taking place?
 * Template talk:The Batman


 * Who's involved?
 * User:ThuranX, User:A Man In Black, User:Markeer, User:Josiah Rowe, User:ChrisGriswold, others


 * What's going on?
 * An original reversion war escalated into personal attacks, sarcasm and angry words, leading to a current situation of a multi-pagelinked navbox being in danger of constant reversion and argument


 * ''What would you like to change about that?
 * Calmer voices are needed, and a consensus built for the template


 * Would you prefer we work discreetly? If so, how can we reach you?
 * Actually I would prefer you be overt, not discreet. As someone involved in this dispute I feel it would be inappropriate for me to make any other edits to the page or talk directly with the user who has become angry at me.  However, please feel free to reach me on my talk page if you need to.

Mediator response
I will hop on over to the talk page and see if I can help sort things out. Cowman109 Talk 18:22, 8 August 2006 (UTC)


 * The page seems to have died down and the main disputant hasn't answered, so I am closing this case. Should further trouble arise, this page will remain on my watchlist (though leaving a note on my talk page would be best so I don't miss it). Cowman109 Talk 06:47, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

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


 * Suggestion: I suggest that the template be pruned down to a small size including the most relevant and quality articles related to Batman. To supplement it, create a List of Batman related articles (something like List of Hinduism-related articles) and prominently link to it on the template. Guermantes 02:59, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Discussion

 * Comment: Frequent revisions and reverting makes it nearly impossible to make contributions to this template. Users need to strike the ideal balance between concision and relevance in relation to the content. Guermantes 02:59, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
