What is the dispute?
Collect has had a history of dispute with myself, Screwball23, over his perceived definition of "consensus". This edit-warring is apparent especially in Linda McMahon and Linda McMahon for Senate campaign, 2010. More specifically, collect has deleted material that I have added, and in my view, intentionally abusing policies to have them deleted. There have been numerous occasions where he has been proven false and has continued to edit-war with the help of User:FellGleming, who has faced disciplinary action for other abuses of wikipedia policy. In this current dispute, there is a fight over the movement of a dated Political positions section from Linda McMahon to her campaign page. There is also a continuous battle over the title of Linda McMahon, which has been changed from "professional wrestling magnate" to "professional wrestling entrepreneur" which has still not been resolved. It is my hope that this mediation case will settle disruptive behavior by Collect and allow productive editing and discussion on these pages.-- Sc r ew ba ll 23 talk 01:13, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

What would you like to change about this?
There is a long history of difficult communication. Much is needed, especially in the way of third opinions regarding the disputed material. Collect has refused to dispute material per se, and it is my hope that more can be done to produce a good discussion based on that. Collect has a history of personal attacks and policy abuse.-- Sc r ew ba ll 23 talk 01:13, 6 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Actually, the personal attacks are entirely from the complainant. He has been warned in specific terms by Jclemens about his warring on BLPs and this is simply a reaction to a WQA report showing exceedingly incivil personal attacks from him.   Note further that I have repeatedly sought to obtain consensus,  , ,  , and so on showing attempts to make the discussion about consensus and not about personal attacks  , and that Screwball23 is the one who has reverted twice in one day on an article with a 1RR limit.  and   in less than a day.    I am not reporting him to EW, but it is clear that he has violated his restrictions here. Thanks. BTW, I suggest this request is made in a forum shopping expedition in which I respectfully decline to accomodate him. Collect (talk) 02:14, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Note also that the complainant did not see fit to notify me of this at all.  Seems a bit more like a vent than like a serious attempt at getting mediation, AFAICT. Collect (talk) 02:17, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

How do you think we can help?
I want someone to read through what has happened and make a firm stance on what should be done.-- Sc r ew ba ll 23 talk 01:13, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
