Where is the dispute?
The Van Jones has been edit warring over the insertion without context to Jones signing a 9/11 Truth petition in the lead paragraph.

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


 * User:The lorax
 * User:ObserverNY

What is the dispute?
There is a lot of missing background information about the insertion of this information in the lead paragraph that is being kept out, unfortunately efforts to reach a compromise have been fruitless.

What would you like to change about this?
A consensus over context.

How do you think we can help?
I think if there were some mediation help, a compromise over added context can be reached.

Mediator notes
I'm not likely to pick this up, but it'd be good if wp:recentism was brought up a bunch of times in talk. Xavexgoem (talk) 22:43, 5 September 2009 (UTC)


 * User:ObserverNY has been indefinitely blocked for disruptive editing, so there is no point in going forward with this request. Thanks for reporting this issue! Netalarm   talk  01:27, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
