Statement of the dispute
''This is a summary written by users who dispute this user's conduct. Users signing other sections ("Response" or "Outside views") should not edit the "Statement of the dispute" section.''

Description
JD_UK argues about any changes I make to any articles. I have heard that he doesn't accept things, even though he admits they're good, because I did it. He constantly argues all the time with me, and it's causing unneeded wikistress. He has often demanded I stay off his talkpage, and made personal attacks towards me. -- 9  cds (talk) 01:52, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

I don't agree with everything 9cds has said. I have made ample attempt to try and resolve issues on Wikipedia, and any personal problems that have occurred between myself and 9cds. A lot of 9cds's actions, mostly leaving warnings on my talk page due to edit wars that are caused by editing problems to which a general decision has not been reached, often provoke what I would consider borderline-incivillity towards 9cds.

I opened a mediation case to try and get a third perspective on the situation, but I did not feel that a reasonable solution had been reached. I have also tried to speak with 9cds on the IRC channels, and I was immediately met with hostility; 9cds said that I was "wikistalking" her. 9cds often says that I am unable to compromise, but I feel that the same can be said of her - edits she has made to some articles were not necessary, and 9cds often leaves no room for compromise on her part, always insisting that the edit previous to hers was of inferior quality. Some changes are not necessary, and leaving pages as they are to avoid conflict is not something 9cds is able to do. I am not the only person that has had conflicts with 9cds, but for some reason I seem to be the biggest influence on her "stress levels".

As for Ste4k, I initially did not feel there was any conflict, but her decision to change an entire article so that it was in past tense was not a change that I felt was good. A vote was started on the talk page of this article, by 9cds, and I made a comment; on the advice of 9cds. I do not see this as not participating, as I did make my views clear. After the vote was closed, and a decision to have content that referred to current events, such as relationships, written in present tense, was made, Ste4k still changed everything back into past tense, and I was still made out to look as though I was in the wrong.

I've been told quite a few times by 9cds and Ste4k that I do not listen to what other people have to say, but I do not see anything that would suggest that I have ignored anybody - I read all comments that are relevant to anything I am, or have been, involved in. I am willing to listen to any and all advice in regards to this situation, and will be more than ready to try to help the situation, as I did earlier today on IRC (9cds chose not to speak to me).

It should also be noted that 9cds and Ste4k are the only editors on Wikipedia that I have had major ongoing conflicts with. -- JD [ don't talk|email ] 20:42, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Outside view
''This is a summary written by users not directly involved with the dispute but who would like to add an outside view of the dispute. Users editing other sections ("Statement of the dispute" and "Response") should not edit the "Outside Views" section, except to endorse an outside view.''

I believe this dispute may be resolved. To my eye the disputants need to cool it and try and see things from a more dispassionate viewpoint (and from the others perspective) It's surely best to let this matter wither and die, but it now seems lessons still need to be learnt.
