Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2007-06-13 Russians in Ukraine

Who are the involved parties?
User: hillock65, User:Kuban kazak

What is the involved article(s)?
Russians in Ukraine

What's going on?
A passage has been added to the article linking Volhynia massacre of Poles during WWII to the number of ethnic Russians in that region (currently only 2.4%). The other editor inserted it purely as a revenge for other edit in violation of WP:POINT (admitted it on record here) and wants to tie this issue to others using it as a leverage.

What would you like to change about that?
Would like to treat issues separately by proving their relevance to the case individually and remove this highly controversial and unsubstantiated passage.

Mediator response
Before we proceed with mediation, I would like to see Kuban Kazak's point of view. I have asked him to comment. (messedrocker • talk) 03:03, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I will write a proper statement, but it will be lengthy, so please have patience. --Kuban Cossack 17:45, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Four days, no statement? — Alex(U 05:03, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, no statement, right now I am not involved with Russians in Ukraine besides Alaexis did a good clean-up and I am more or less satisfied with the overall appearance of the article's present state. A few minor issues to settle, but hopefully all in good time. And there will be a statement when I get round to writing one, some of us do have busy lives in addition to wikipedia. --Kuban Cossack 16:21, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
