Request Information

 * Request made by: Tychocat 05:03, 21 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Where is the issue taking place?
 * Articles for deletion/Mariju Bofill (section)


 * Who's involved?
 * user:Billy Blythe and user:Michael Snow


 * What's going on?
 * Billy Blythe is taking an unusually personal response to the afd of his article. Michael Snow made what looks to me to be an off-handed jibe about stalking in his nom, to which Blythe appears to take as an actual accusation of such.  Check out the afd for a transcript of Blythe's remarks, but of note is "Hatred builds, friends, oh, it builds. I won't personally attack him according to what I understand is a personal attack around here, and I won't track him down and eliminate him, but I am well aware that the bodies of one's oppressors will float down the river if one waits long enough. If I get a Wikimedia Foundation number on this guy's whereabouts, he's gonna wish he'd never, ever met me. Yeah, he's gonna wish he'd never, ever met me."


 * ''What would you like to change about that?
 * I am concerned for the safety of Michael Snow, am concerned for any future editors who might deal with Blythe, and have to question the NPOV, verifiability, and adherence to WP guidelines and policies of Blythe. I am contacting you folks as the first step towards, I don't know, a good talking-to for Blythe.  I do not know if you folks can do anything under the circumstances, but I don't feel I can ask for probation or anything like that until I get past this step.


 * Would you prefer we work discreetly? If so, how can we reach you?
 * Under the circumstances, discreetly. Contact me by email, that's fine.

Mediator response

 * It looks like administrators are already looking at the matter (see and the response by Doc Glasgow afterwords). I don't think much will need to be done at this point. Will assistance still be required?  Cowman109 Talk 17:09, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Hopefully, no further action will be necessary. Criminey! Editing drunk? I guess if I hang around WP long enough, I'll see it all. Thanks for response. Tychocat 08:48, 22 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Closing the case then. Cowman109 Talk 21:49, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
