Request Information

 * Request made by: Cflannagan 23:36, 28 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Where is the issue taking place?
 *  Gallaudet University 


 * Who's involved?
 * Vapour, and other editors of the article


 * What's going on?
 * Vapour and I have a disagreement about whether the 2005–2006 presidential search controversy section is NPOVish or not.


 * ''What would you like to change about that?
 * 'The article needs to be balanced to show views from BOTH sides of the Gallaudet protest. The problem here is, Vapour is accepting only quotes by JKF in various Washington Post articles, and her comments are distorting the real issues behind the Gallaudet protest. GUFSSA (the other side of the coin) is an organization at Gallaudet that is officially representing the views of the protestors with detailed, clear, concise explanations of why they have issues against JKF and most of it has nothing to do with what JKF is portraying them to be, to the Washington Post. See the problem here? Washington Post believed the protest to be how JKF described it at first, but is slowly (but not fully yet) understanding that the real issues is more complexer than what JKF originally led them to believe. (removed incorrect info about GUFSSA existing before protest itself happened - my apologizations, but core issues remain Cflannagan 00:16, 29 October 2006 (UTC))''


 * Would you prefer we work discreetly? If so, how can we reach you?
 * I would prefer that we keep this discussion open.. we do need both sides on this NPOV conflict to speak out and reach a compromise

Mediator response
I will try to help out here but the time I can spend is very limited so I would prefer another mediator take the lead role, so I am leaving the case status as "new". --Ideogram 10:59, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

No activity. Closing. --Ideogram 09:37, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
