Mediator response

 * This case was originally opened under a different name. It was renamed due to concerns of POV and misspellings in the name of a participant included in the title.
 * Accepted by User:Will_Beback. Waiting for response from User:Insider201283. --Willscrlt (Talk|Cntrb ) 12:51, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
 * User:Insider201283 has accepted. Mediation is now starting. --Willscrlt (Talk|Cntrb ) 00:12, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Discussion had been going pretty well. The current plan is to work through the articles in question, along with the other editors involved (many of whom has been eavesdropping on the mediation proceedings with permission), to work out varying amounts of perceived POV and other issues. On January 19, Insider201283 stopped making any edits to Wikipedia, and there has been no contact with him since that date. I am placing this case on hold for up to 15 days (February 7, 2007) to give him time to return to the discussions. If he has not returned by then, we will call in the search and rescue teams (just kidding), and close this case. If he returns prior to that, then discussion will continue. Hopefully Insider201283 and his family are doing well, and things just got a little crazy in his life (as happens to all of us from time to time). --Willscrlt (Talk·Cntrb ) 06:00, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
 * The case was closed on February 7, 2007 due to long absence by User:Insider201283. --Willscrlt (Talk·Cntrb ) 21:49, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Compromise offers
This section is for listing and discussing compromise offers.


 * There were still some personal issues to be worked out, but the generally agreed upon plan of action was to move forward and conduct an article-by-article review, starting with Quixtar (generally agreed to have the fewest problems), working with all the editors.
 * The issues in the past were of concern, but it was hoped that moving forward and working together to conduct such a review would build new levels of trust and mutual respect between all involved parties.
 * Assuming that [User:Insider201283]] or any other person with similar concerns returns, this remains probably a good strategy.
