 * Where is the issue taking place?


 * Who's involved?
 * ... janejellyroll and myaperez. there are other editors watching the page, but I don't want to involve them without their consent.


 * What's going on?
 * ... I found this page a day or two ago and there was active edit warring going on, specifically around the date of the subject's birthday. Various editors were flipping the date back and forth and nasty hidden comments had been left on the edit page.  We've (meaning me and user watchandobserve) have sorted out most of the problems and watchandobserve actually added great sources for information on the page.  But user myaperez keeps reverting to her prefered edit with unsourced information.  She will not respond to talk page messages.  A few minutes ago she blanked the page and a bot restored it.  I'm relatively new to Wikipedia and so is watchandobserve, so we just want to resolve this situation in the best possible way.  Note that the article is the biography of a living person.


 * ''What would you like to change about that?
 * ... I'd like user myaperez to respect concensus and stop adding unsourced material to the page. I'd like the user to discuss changes with other editors.


 * Would you prefer we work discreetly? If so, how can we reach you?
 * ... Discretion is not necessary. You may contact me on my talk page and also use the talk page for the article.

Mediator response
Mediation's more of a bilateral discussion. If two opposing users aren't both willing to talk about the problem then I'd start first by leaving a warning notice on their talk page, and then taking it up with the Administrators' Noticeboard. Flakeloaf 08:25, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
 * No activity. Closing.  --Ideogram 01:30, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
