Request Information

 * Request made by: Cúchullain t/ c 02:15, 25 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Where is the issue taking place?
 * ...Mi'kmaq language


 * Who's involved?
 * ...Myself and Codex Sinaiticus. Evertype was involved in the initial discussion in October.


 * What's going on?
 * ...A user keeps removing "fact" tags at Mi'kmaq language without backing up his claims (and using uncivil edit summaries). However, his claims have been contested on the talk page, so I feel he needs to provide a cite. This is basically a continuation of an issue from October.


 * ''What would you like to change about that?
 * ...I'd like him to provide a verifiable source for what he claims.


 * Would you prefer we work discreetly? If so, how can we reach you?
 * ...No, talk page is fine.

Mediator response

 * Opening discussion. Issue involves style issues as well as sourcing for orthography that will affect several related topics.  Serpent&#39;s Choice 07:56, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
 * The talk page clearly shows a history of a wider disagreement than the presence or absence of citation tags. Widening the discussion in an effort to resolve the core issues.  Serpent&#39;s Choice 06:03, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Discussion



 * The specific issue listed here in January was quickly resolved when I provided the requested cite, but there seems to be a general agreement that we need some qualified experts in the Mi'kmaq language to review the article for remaining issues. ፈቃደ (ውይይት) 15:34, 19 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Mediation cabal won't be able to provide subject experts. --Ideogram 20:15, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
