Request Information

 * Request made by: Neospooky 16:46, 7 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Where is the issue taking place?
 * ...The Larry Franklin Article


 * Who's involved?
 * ...Abe Froman


 * What's going on?
 * ...I fixed an inaccuracy in an article, he deleted. I fixed again and supplied the source.  He deleted and asked for a source.  I supplied him with a page and link, he altered with "scare quotes" and restated the same fact twice for effect in the article.  I put up an NPOV tag and removed the scare quotes and second statement.  This morning he removed the NPOV tag and said the information doesn't belong in the article.  He's had edits with the incorrect information in the article, there's only a problem when the information reflects the actual facts.  Now he's saying on the talk page I'm making the changes out of spite.


 * ''What would you like to change about that?
 * ...I'd like for the complete information to stand. The article seems to have been written with the purpose of overstating pre-Iraqi war mistakes.  This is evidenced in redundant inflammatory terms (stove piping is, by definition, an out of standard process) to get the facts across and deletion of any sort of factual edits that support pre-war intelligence.


 * Would you prefer we work discreetly? If so, how can we reach you?
 * ...The talk pages are fine. If you need to reach me outside the wiki you can send an email to neospooky@yahoo.com

Discussion

 * Abe and I found an acceptable compromise. I'm not sure how to remove this request.  Apologies for any time wasted and I will take more time in the future before requesting this type of action. Neospooky 21:05, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
