Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2008-09-02 High-speed rail

Who are the involved parties?

 * User:Python eggs (talk|contribs)
 * User:Danorton (talk|contribs)

What's going on?
The involved parties are having difficulty reaching consensus regarding an added paragraph to the section on "Maximum speed in service". There have been several edits and reversions by these two editors around this same paragraph, and the most recent reversion was summarized as "revert vandalism." No other editors have yet entered the discussion.

A request for a third opinion was not considered, as the party who is requesting mediation feels that this is primarily a communication problem. (This might also be an issue of differing opinions, but it is hoped that better communication will allow the parties to find a practical resolution to any difference of personal opinions.)

What would you like to change about that?
Achieve consensus on this issue among these two and other interested parties.

Mediator notes
The debated paragraph has been moved to a more suitable article, Planned high-speed rail by country, since the section it was under was about the history of high-speed rail, and not planned lines. The paragraph was also backed up with two sources. Both parties have agreed to this solution. --Twinzor Say hi! - Do I suck or rock? 12:33, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

 * As the subject content is no longer in the originally mentioned article but appears in several other articles, I propose that further discussion proceed here. --Danorton (talk) 18:58, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

I am satisfied with current state of things. The information has been properly cited, placed in the proper context (revealing bias) and moved to the appropriate article: Planned high-speed rail by country --Danorton (talk) 18:33, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I have made similar changes to Beijing-Shanghai Express Railway. I hope that Python eggs will be satisified with these changes or otherwise discuss his objections. --Danorton (talk) 18:58, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * After your changes things are looking pretty good in my opinion. Is Python eggs happy with this solution? --Twinzor Say hi! - Do I suck or rock? 02:45, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
