Request Information

 * Request made by: CWD 16:51, 8 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Where is the issue taking place?
 * Roger the Negotiator


 * Who's involved?
 * Myself and User:Zola


 * What's going on?
 * Zola claims I plagiarised material from his site in writing this episode summary. Both pages are scene-by-scene accounts of the same episode of the same series, so there will be similarities, but I had never even looked at his summary.  My version is entirely my own and I can't find a single line the same aside from diologue quotes.  He claims there are sections lifted verbatim but has yet to show any.


 * ''What would you like to change about that?
 * I would like a neutral party to help resolve this.


 * Would you prefer we work discreetly? If so, how can we reach you?
 * Work whatever way you'd like. You may contact me on my talk page if needed.

Mediator response
The requestor of this case has 'given up' his side of the case (see the talk page of the article). The utility and purpose of this mediation is thus negated. Jsw663 12:08, 9 September 2006 (UTC)


 * No response from the requestor of this article. I'm closing this case.  May be reopened if the point is contested at a later date, and only if re-requested by the requestor of this mediation.  Jsw663 10:17, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
