Request Information

 * Request made by: KineticScientist 17:56, 28 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Where is the issue taking place?
 * Primarily Bones for Life and the related discussion. Some clarification of what Ronz considers personal attacks from me are included on  my talk page.


 * Who's involved?
 * User:KineticScientist User:DBOLTSON User:Ronz, though some others have chimed in, including anonymous users.


 * What's going on?
 * Ronz seems intent on having the page deleted, perhaps in part for personal reasons. I freely admit personal and non-personal motivation, but I think the page is reasonable for wikipedia and should stay.  This also touches on an ongoing dispute over the "Influence on Somatics" section on the Feldenkrais method page (which I also think is not great right now).
 * See also the discussion in Articles_for_deletion/Log/2006_August_27.


 * ''What would you like to change about that?
 * In general, the largest point of contention centers around having appropriate references. A major stumbling block is that the primary source of information on Bones for Life is the official web site, which could be construed as a "commercial" site.  So, we've not included that reference (however, many  Alternative medicine sites do have such links).
 * In the end, I'd like to truly ground out this process in direct application and consideration of WikiPedia principles. I think the alternative medicine domain in general is problematic, and I'd like to work towards introducing some clarity of both content and process there.  Resolving this smaller dispute could be the first step towards that.


 * Would you prefer we work discreetly? If so, how can we reach you?
 * Not necessary, but you should be able to send me e-mail through wikipedia.
