Request Information

 * Request made by:
 * Sooahs 18:33, 26 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Where is the issue taking place?
 * Gracenote


 * Who's involved?
 * vandals and editors - see the history section on the page
 * There's not much to mediate with vandals. Typically list them at WP:AIV, revert the vandalism, and move on. Make sure you don't list those who insert POV statements but not vandalism, however. Just a friendly note. :) ~Kylu ( u | t )  23:48, 26 October 2006 (UTC)


 * What's going on?
 * The Gracenote page has been hijacked by those only interested in presenting their side in bad faith. These "editors" have presented inaccurate and false information about Gracenote which amounts to slander.  These editors constantly revert a neutral description of Gracenote to their biased, inaccurate and false version.  In particular, they offer false information regarding Gracenote's litigation history and have removed all links to every court order and ruling which provides factual and true information regarding Gracenote's litigation history.  Furthermore, these editors engage in making personal attacks by calling the founder of Gracenote Steve Scherf such names as "SteveSmurf" and "dirty"
 * ''What would you like to change about that?
 * Request for mediation in order to have the Gracenote page return to its neutral POV that is accurate, unbiased, and supported by factual and legal documents. Stop further reverts and vandalism by those acting in bad faith to only present their highly biased and false information about Gracenote.

 * Mediation with new users and IPs is non-functional, semi-protection would be significantly less effort and I have done this. I'm closing this case but feel free to contact me on my talk page if further action is needed. Stifle (talk) 13:52, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
