Who are the involved parties?
User:JPG-GR and User:Neutralhomer

What's going on?
Repeated postings on talk page (mostly archived now) by User:Neutralhomer, allegations of stalking and harassment (after being asked to watch contribs on multiple occassions) by User:Neutralhomer, personal attacks located in header at User talk:Neutralhomer
 * Evidence of User:Neutralhomer "stalking" my contribs, an act he accuses me of: dif. JPG-GR 07:10, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

What would you like to change about that?
A third party to help establish a mutual understanding and/or agreement to avoid each other's talk pages entirely. Additionally, assistance with explaining policies such as WP:MOS, WP:MERGE, and WP:NPA to User:Neutralhomer.
 * Also, assistance with explaining article naming conventions, as set forth by WP:WPRS. JPG-GR 07:13, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Mediator notes
Um...is this dispute ongoing? You guys seem to be getting along now. CaveatLectorTalk 19:25, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, with edit summaries like this dif, I'm not ready to say he's done yet. JPG-GR 23:39, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I removed that at your continued request, now you are complaining that it was removed? I'm confused, Dude. -  NeutralHomer  T:C 08:50, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Is there still a problem? If there is we will keep going with the case, but I think everything is okay now. ~   Wi ki  her mit  15:23, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm still somewhat miffed that I appear to be on his List of user's to repeatedly ask questions, but I suppose I can live with that. JPG-GR 18:41, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * If JPG-GR wishes that I leave him be, I will. I was trying to be social and since he knows more about certain aspects of WP:WPRS, it is helpful to get his opinion or ask a question.  But, if he is "miffed" that I message him, I will stop. -  NeutralHomer  T:C 20:26, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I'd say cooler heads have prevailed and the issue is closed.
 * Indeed. If you two believe everything is solved, then I'll close it. Do both of you agree to this? ~   Wi ki  her mit  14:44, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
 * /in my best Irish accent/ Aye! :) - NeutralHomer  T:C 21:00, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Discussion
If I may, I have suggested that User:JPG-GR just stay away from each other as we are constantly butting heads. I had made attempts to work with User:JPG-GR and have tried to understand the naming conventions. I have also changed my edit style to met his and Wikipedia's manual of style. I have made attempts to get along with User:JPG-GR as well and for him to understand my point of view (ie: on the merging of Alaskan translators).

This has all become very time consuming and annoying and I feel that we should, as User:JPG-GR has suggested, as have I, that we just ignore each other and go our seperate ways. This is unfortunate because I have alot of respect for User:JPG-GR and the massive amount of work he is doing for WP:WPRS, so much that I awarded him a barnstar for about 8 hours worth of edits he did one day.

I don't want to argue with him, as I have told him, but when we are constantly butting heads, we are both not getting anywhere fast and it is keeping us from getting work done. I am willing to work with User:JPG-GR, if he wishes (so much as we aren't butting heads again) but I am also willing to leave him be if he so wishes.

Again, this is unfortunate, as I have alot of respect for him as an editor and the work he has done for WP:WPRS. - NeutralHomer  T:C 08:35, 24 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Once agian, I present this as a further example of User:Neutralhomer "stalking" my contribs. He also still has personal attacks directed toward both myself and User:Calton listed in the header on his talk page. JPG-GR 16:55, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I find it very odd that this user asks for mediation between him and I and then accuses me of "stalking my contribs" when I post on the mediation board he requested. If User:JPG-GR wishes to have a one sided mediation, then that is fine...if he wishes to defend User:Calton, then that is fine as well.  I have been more than patient and polite with [[User:JPG-GR and get accusations in return.  I leave this mediation to User:JPG-GR.  I tried. -  NeutralHomer  T:C 17:28, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
 * If "you tried", you would've removed the personal attacks from your talk header when requested to. Moreover, if you truly wanted to resolve the issue, you would've removed them by now. Yet, they are still present as of this response. JPG-GR 18:38, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
