Issues to be mediated

 * GENI opted to remove an entire file covering the history of the kidnapping of Iowa television reported Jodi Huisentruit. The profile was updated on December 9th with non-copyrighted information pulled from various public and law-enforcement websites covering the case. GENI contention is the material was copyrighted and instead of removing the areas I edited, opted to remove the entire file from Wikipedia. A search of the source material: findjodi.com and http://www.iowaonline.state.ia.us/mpic/Controller.aspx?cmd=personDetailCommand&id=94 will confirm that none of the material referenced in the updates was in fact copy righted.  (It would be one thing if the material was extracted from a book published on the subject, but that is not the case here. The material is actually public knowledge and was used to update the minimal information  that was appearing on Wikipedia.

Decision of the Mediation Committee

Decision of the Mediation Committee
''A member of the Mediation Committee will indicate acceptance/rejection/other relevant notes in this section. Non-mediators should not edit this section.''


 * Reject: While there is agreement from the parties to mediate, this isn't an issue for mediation. Mediation between two parties isn't the right way to resolve an issue that affects thousands of contributors; whether to mass-tag entire categories of images is not something that should be decided between two people, which is the point of mediation. This issue is ripe for an RFC, but not RFM.

 * Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents

Other steps in dispute resolution that have been attempted:

 * WP:RFC link
 * WP:AN/I discussion

Issues to be mediated

 * Issue 1; This is a serious and urgent matter. Sarah made an unfounded accusation that I have an "anti-american agenda". Even though she named Ottawaman, it is directed towards me since she states chategorically that is who I am and she made the accusation in a section discussing me. That section of the incident noticeboard was soon thereafter archived. In this post 9/11 world such an accusation can be quite harmful to me personally in a variety of ways. I would like her to withdraw that accusation and apologize for it within the archived section.
