Decision of the Mediation Committee

 * This mediation request was filed using the layout of a Mediation Cabal case, which used the wrong headers and contained information that is not included, and generally not requested, on an RfM page.

Such an action has led to the removal of some information, which can be viewed in the history.

Factory farming
 view edit delete watch Filed: 00:51, May 27 2007 (UTC)

Other steps in dispute resolution that have been attempted:

 * The issue of how to approach the topic has been a bone of contention for over a year.
 * Factory farming is currently protected because of reverting.
 * Each editor was recently asked to give their first and second preference regarding the title(s) and how many articles there should be.
 * We tried to hold a straw poll.
 * Discussion of the various issues on Talk:Factory farming amounts to around 55,000 words in the last few weeks, but we are making no headway.
 * requests were made on each user's talk page to identify which issues they thought were the sticking point
 * Repeated requests have been made for reliable sources/definitions by the changing editor for reliable sources which have gone unheeded
 * The initial merging changes by SlimVirgin were requested numerous times to be held off while discussion took place, editing continued.

Issues to be mediated

 * How many articles there should be on this subject (1, 2, or 3), and what the title(s) should be: industrial agriculture, intensive agriculture, industrial farming, intensive farming, or factory farming.
 * Content of the lead(s), including text and images.
 * How and where the issue of crops versus animals is to be handled (different articles, or different sections of one article).
 * The use of reliable sources and the issue of NOR: that is, we disagree about which sources count as reliable, and whether we need sources showing that intensive farming, industrial farming, and factory farming are treated as different or the same phenomenon by reliable sources.
 * Whether there is any basis for the assertion the terms are equivalent or just subsets e.g. is it OR to be saying that the terms are equivalent based on reading of certain articles

Additional issues to be mediated

 * The main discussion has taken place on Talk:Factory farming. The amount of posting by one user on the talk page (22,000 words in 115 posts within eight days) has been disruptive according to some editors, and helpful according to others, so the degree of further input from that user may need to be mediated too, if the same level of posting continues.
 * The dismissive and authoritarian manner of SlimVirgin in this matter could also be examined if possible (including admissions that they did not bother reading the contributions). As an admin:the complete disregard for intial attempts to discuss the massive changes and then any further changes were reverted without contribution on the discussion page does not seem like that of a collaborative senior wikipedian. Accusations have been made that the user (along with Crum375) have been rather abrasive and overly aggressive towards edits which may not be pro-animal liberation activist views (irrespective of whether they are referenced and according to policy). If neutrality of this editor appears compromised: suggest that editor refrain from editing animal related topics.
 * tag team reverting practices between SlimVirgin, Crum375 and Localzuk appear disruptive and designed to force a deadlock on animal rights issues. Accusation of bias has been made by several editors during the disupute. A similar eccentric reading of a CNN article seems the only basis for their actions.
 * Is "add content, don't delete" a valid reason to revert changes of another user if those changes have been discussed and are referenced (and appear within wikipedia policy). That seems to preclude changing any content.
 * Should reversion be a last resort versus discussion and contribution of additional information be the preference (as it was used in preference to both discussion and constructive addition). It appears the least likely option to avoid conflict and as such should be avoided as much as possible.

Other steps in dispute resolution that have been attempted

 * talk page
 * my talk page
 * project page that is a part of the article's scope

Issues to be mediated

 * NE2 persists on systematically instating redirects into articles and refuses to engage in a consensus to get an invoice from other users to agree on the article's styleage. I find this disruptive, because it is not normally one's nature to put redirects into articles, and what makes matters worse is after I try to lend a hand to help him, since he has a history of controversy from other users he shuns off all users and tries to assert himself that he owns the project. Although the loss of one editor won't matter, if he continues, he needs to realize he'll get blocked.

Additional issues to be mediated

 * NE2 needs to know that trolling, ownership of articles and consensus breaching will not be tolerated around here.
