Keep ongoing discussions about the topic to the appropriate talk page(s), but feel free to provide links to the talk page(s) where discussion has happened (and may be ongoing) for the convenience of the informal mediator and other parties.

Who are the involved parties?

 * Köbra
 * Revizionist
 * Future Perfect at Sunrise

What's going on?
The article is currently the subject of a POV dispute between the two parties (User:Köbra and User:Revizionist), with each user reverting the other's edits and replacing them with his own version of the article in an edit war. (Köbra has stated on the talk page that his edits were made at the request of Future Perfect at Sunrise. Why Future Perfect did not make the edits himself has not been made clear.)  Both parties have agreed to mediation on the article's talk page in the hope of finding a resolution. A request for comment and a survey have already been attempted on the article's talk page, but no independent editors have come forward to offer input.

What would you like to change about that?
The ideal resolution would be to find some kind of compromise between the two editors over the form of the article, and an end to the current edit war.

Discussion
Comment from semi-involved onlooker: I'd very much appreciate if this could be mediated. There's been a very long-standing dispute between these two editors, which is sort of exceptional for this kind of topic domain it that it is, for once, not a dispute between two national factions along nationalist lines, but a personal difference of editorial opinions between two co-nationals. The article has been in a poor shape for a long while, and I remember once weighing in with an opinion that one side had been introducing heavily POV material, that's probably why I'm being listed as "involved" here. I haven't been following the dispute closely more recently. Fut.Perf. ☼ 10:39, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
