Request Information

 * Request made by:  ryan  d  09:52, 15 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Where is the issue taking place?
 * The Raffles Junior College article and its respective talk page.


 * Who's involved?
 * Primarily myself and Icecold1; and to a lesser extent Sengkang, Fiveless, b3virq3b, Vsion and several IP users.


 * What's going on?
 * Icecold1 has repeatedly been adding the same POV edit to the article regarding an issue that editors have yet to decide should or should not be in the article. This is despite reverts by at least seven different editors as well as numerous requests to discuss the issue on the talk page. While initially appearing to be acting in good (if misguided) faith, more recent edits seem to indicate a grudge against the school, including the addition of a large sentence on Annabel Chong, a former porn star and alumnus of a school merely affiliated to Raffles Junior College. Icecold1 seems to guards his edits very closely and often undoes any reverts to them in under an hour. Attempts to discuss the issue on talk have led to personal attacks; and an attempted straw poll met with suspected sockpuppetry.


 * ''What would you like to change about that?
 * I would like Icecold1 to stop re-adding his edit and to start discussing the issue at hand, which is how best to integrate the Wee Shu-Min scandal into the article, and if it should be integrated at all.


 * Would you prefer we work discreetly? If so, how can we reach you?
 * Seeing as to how I have just stated on the talk page that I was going to try and resolve the dispute by bringing it here, I'm not sure how discretion is possible, or would help. In any case, I can be reached on my talk page or by [mailto:ranathalion@gmail.com email]. Many hanks in advance to whomever picks this case up.

Discussion

 * As of 2006-11-18, Icecold1 has not returned to the article after being blocked for 24 hours for repeated page blanking. All is peaceful and I withdraw my case. - ryan  d  17:42, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Spoke too soon, I guess. I'm tired of the dispute, of trying to make Wikipedia not suck. You can pick this case up if you want, I don't care anymore. :( - ryan  d  15:30, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
