Where is the dispute?
Chiang Mai University - The list of faculties.

Who is involved?
Just a list of the users involved. For example:


 * User:JungleJoe, User_talk:202.28.27.3
 * User:Jeffmcneill

What is the dispute?
Under the list of faculties, the CMU Language Institute is repeatedly being deleted by employees of small language schools from the city.
 * See Talk:Chiang Mai University, User talk:Jeffmcneill and User talk:JungleJoe. The characterization of this dispute above is not accurate. Rather a link to a non-faculty institution (The Language Institute) has been continually placed in the faculty list of the Chiang Mai University article, by an employee of the language institute (Conflict of Interest), and deletions have been reverted three times (3RR). --Jeffmcneill (talk) 15:42, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

What would you like to change about this?
Is it possible to restrict editing of the page to IP addresses originating in the University?

How do you think we can help?
In an effort to privatize Chiang Mai University, many of the faculties are making the transition to become self-reliant. The Language Institute was the first, but now almost a dozen have followed suit. By this reasoning, if the Language Institute continues to be removed from the wiki article, soon all faculties will have to be removed as well. I trust that an impartial mediator's opinion will be more than enough to put a stop to this dispute. I believe Mr. McNeill will honor what you have to say.


 * Regardless of this argument, the point is that the Faculty section is not appropriate. The Chiang Mai University website, in both English and Thai does not include this Institute in the list of Faculty. Placing it there is misleading and inaccurate. This has been explained several times but does not seem to affect the argument being made, and the continual reversions/re-edits putting the name and link back in the same place. --Jeffmcneill (talk) 15:47, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
