Request Information

 * Request made by: Alex 16:50, 22 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Where is the issue taking place?
 * User_talk:AlexReynolds


 * Who's involved?
 * User:Mel_Etitis


 * What's going on?
 * Back in early January, User:Mel_Etitis made edits to Autechre which I did not agree with. I visited his talk page and politely requested an explanation. No answer was given, so I removed his comments on my talk page as I believed them (and his edits to the article in question) to be bad-faith vandalism. Since that time I have not bothered to discuss the matter with him and have moved on, yet he has continued to edit my talk page without explanation, most recently on the January 22nd, reverting his vandalism from the 15th.


 * ''What would you like to change about that?
 * Since Mel_Etitis continues to operate in bad faith and shows no sign of stopping any time soon, I would like him blocked from editing my talk page. If he wants to abuse his administrative powers, that's fine, but I'd like to ask he do it somewhere else.


 * Would you prefer we work discreetly? If so, how can we reach you?
 * I don't mind.

Mediator response
I've had a chat with User:AlexReynolds regarding curtosy on user talk pages and when it is/isn't appropriate to remove other people's comments. The issue seems to be settled. Closing case. -- `/aksha 10:51, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
