Request Information

 * Request made by: Seraphimblade 16:40, 3 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Where is the issue taking place?
 * The issue is taking place on the google bomb article.


 * Who's involved?
 * I and another user, User:Insider201283 are involved.


 * What's going on?
 * Insider201283 disagrees that the sources listed for the google bomb meet the WP:RS criteria. As I have found sources from an accredited university (USC) I believe that this meets the criteria for a credible and respectable source, and disagree with Insider201283's decision to delete all material related to the Quixtar google bomb. Both of us have agreed to mediation on the talk page.


 * ''What would you like to change about that?
 * I would be willing to work on the wording of the Quixtar google bomb campaign to reflect Insider201283's concerns. However, I believe that the section should be reworded, not deleted, as there are independent sources speaking as to its occurrence.


 * Would you prefer we work discreetly? If so, how can we reach you?
 * You are welcome to contact me either via my talk page or by email at toddmallen (at) gmail (dot) com.

Discussion

 * As the other party in the debate has indicated he would rather resolve this through formal mediation, I would like to withdraw this request. Seraphimblade 04:25, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
