Who is involved?

 * User:Ivan_Štambuk
 * User:hellion8513
 * User:Amatulic (answered Third opinion request on User talk:Ivan Štambuk)

What is the dispute?
A disagreement and edit war concerning the use of cyrillic spelling along side the latin transcription in the OCS Grammar Article. The dispute revolves around the fact that certain old/obscure Cyrillic characters would not be rendered in most browsers accessing the English Wikipedia. The argument is about whether the inclusion of such characters improves the article.

What would you like to change about this?
Stop the edit war.

How do you think we can help?
Decide whether the Cyrillic extends and completes or harms the article.

Mediator notes
Ok, let's get the ball rolling. I'd like to ask Hellion8513, as filer of this request for mediation, to write a short explanation below detailing why they think old Cyrillic characters belong in the article, in order to start a discussion here. I only wish to ask everyone involved to please try and keep their argumentations short and to the point and to avoid ad hominem and personal attacks.

 * In addition, if any of the parties have any ideas about whether there is some way that a compromise could be possible, it would be very helpful to indicate this. PhilKnight (talk) 16:14, 19 June 2010 (UTC)


 * I indicated in my third opinion that a compromise might be to show examples of the un-displayable characters as graphic images, if that would work in the context of where they would be used. ~Amatulić (talk) 19:13, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
