Mediator response
Suggested Gunter comment at SpinyNorman's RfA. Addhoc 17:43, 8 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Also my preliminary assessment is the principal difference between Gunter and SpinyNorman is the use of references. Gunter is using primary sources, while SpinyNorman relies on secondary references. In this context, a compromise is unlikely, either Gunter or SpinyNorman is correct.

 * Hi. SpinyNorman is now under investigation from the ArbCom (See here) for his constant edits on other car-related pages and his refusal to compromise.  I suggest tying in this case with that one (to be presented on the Evidence page there) so that any ArbCom judgment on SpinyNorman can be effected on all car-related pages.

 * Should we close this case, instead relying on the ArbCom case result instead? Jsw663 10:20, 15 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Good idea. Addhoc 11:45, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
