Request Information

 * Request made by: Scheinwerfermann 17:33, 13 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Where is the issue taking place?
 * ...Canadian English words


 * Who's involved?
 * ...Me, and JackLumber


 * What's going on?
 * ...JackLumber has asserted ownership over the article ("I created this article, I know what belongs here and what doesn't"), has rejected requests to review WP:OWN, and is repeatedly reverting edits that are contrary to his own opinion of relevance. I have asked him repeatedly (please see his talk page and the article talk page) not to revert until consensus is formed on the article's talk page, but he has grown belligerent ("Listen up!") and reverted anyhow without any engagement in the consensus-building process.


 * ''What would you like to change about that?
 * ...Well, it looks like we could use a little help getting the consensus-building process moving forward with all interested parties involved. I don't particularly care whether the "Table (verb)" entry remains or is deleted, but it seems JackLumber's behaviour is contrary to WP protocols.


 * Would you prefer we work discreetly? If so, how can we reach you?
 * ...No especial need for discretion, I don't think. Please feel free to post entries on my talk page and/or the article talk page as appropriate. Thanks in advance.

Mediator response
After reviewing the edits, and the discussion, I left a message on the talk page. Scheinwerfermann (requestor of the mediation) has not participated in the discussion since requesting mediation. I recommend this case be closed and the article unprotected. SRICE13(TALK 03:31, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

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

Would be interesting to see both original and edited versions. Freedom of press and freedom of communication will be the compromise. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.209.34.197 (talk • contribs) 19:21, 14 February 2007


 * Erm...Freedom of press and freedom of communication are certainly both commendable goals, but how do they apply in this case? We're talking about whether or not to include a particular term in a word list, is all. --Scheinwerfermann 05:50, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
