Where is the dispute?
Talk:HSL and HSV

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


 * User:SharkD
 * User:jacobolus

What is the dispute?
The article has become a lot harder for beginners to understand. (Compare to old revision.) Language is windy and convoluted. Chart images are inconsistently labeled and suffer from chartjunk. Article may have grown beyond its original scope. One author (User:jacobolus) is mainly responsible for these changes. Mostly one other author (User:SharkD) has been critical of them.

What would you like to change about this?
Needs more input. Multiple 3O requests have not produced much in terms of comments.

How do you think we can help?
Need some additional eyes to look over the article as well as comment on individual points raised.

Mediator notes
I'd like to mediate for this case. Would you like me to have a look over the article and give you my thoughts? Cloudbound (talk) 22:03, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

 * If anyone is willing to thoroughly read the article, that would be wonderful. It covers a lot of ground, but hopefully meets the needs of several groups of users, taking them as deep down the rabbit hole as they’re willing to go. :-) –jacobolus (t) 16:38, 29 March 2010 (UTC)


 * My first thoughts are that the article is extraordinarily detailed. This isn't a bad thing but there's a risk other readers could be alienated by that. The graphs are good but I'd agree there are a few too many. There's 36 images but you could possibly get away with taking at least three or four away. My suggestions therefore are that you look at how the text is written and presented, to see where opportunities exist for condensing what is written while mantaining the level of quality. These are my thoughts for now, what do you think? Cloudbound (talk) 20:46, 29 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Most of the discussion is occurring on the article's Talk page if you could join in there. SharkD   Talk  19:52, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

As the mediator has been retired since July, I'm marking this case as closed. If you still need mediation, please inform me. Thanks. Hipocrite (talk) 13:44, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
