Frat pack

Other steps in dispute resolution that have been attempted

 * User talk:DreamGuy
 * updated link: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:DreamGuy&oldid=134236587#Frat_Pack_pageKevin Crossman 04:48, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Issues to be mediated

 * DreamGuy is calling my website spam, when it is clearly related to the subject matter. When I say "I did not add the link to the wiki page" he says "See, you admit to adding the link." which completely contradicts what I wrote.
 * This is pop culture topic, so there are no "scholarly articles" on the topic. My site has original research, reviews, interviews, and a podcast about the topic but DreamGuy says is unreliable and insignificant. While it may be insignificant in the the larger scheme it is very significant for the topic. Also, using Wiki's reliable sources methodology, USA Today is the most significant source since it named the Frat Pack. During their 2006 follow-up article, my site was mentioned prominently and I even coauthored a sidebar article with the author of the article. So, my point of view is that this provides enough significance (for this subject matter) for at least a mention.
 * DreamGuy mentions removing the entire article, claiming I wrote all of it. While I have done many corrective edits (removing Adam Sandler as a member of the Frat Pack) I have not written extensive sections of the article.

Additional issues to be mediated

 * Having DreamGuy understand the difference between me putting a link that's been on the page for over a year vs. adding it for the first time.

Parties' agreement to mediate

 * All parties should sign below, indicating that they agree to mediate the issue. If any party fails to sign, or if a party indicates they do not agree, then the mediation will be rejected. Only "agree" or "disagree" and signatures should appear here; any comments will be removed.

Other steps in dispute resolution that have been attempted

 * Discussion Page
 * Discussion Page #2
 * Notice how in the case of the first link the user tried to "resolve" the dispute by asking if I was ignorant? Yeah, that's a really good faith attempt at dispute resolution if I've ever seen one.
 * And on the second link the user posted he never even responded to my question, so I don't know how that constitutes dispute resolution in any normal definition of the word? 74.225.36.136 04:51, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Futhermore, this user has a history of questionable edits and a history of attacking other users . Shame on me for following into his or her trap. 74.225.36.136 05:12, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Issues to be mediated

 * Jeff Bezos is NOT Cuban ethnically or biologically. Being adopted by his mother's second husband does NOT make him Cuban.
 * It's not up to you to decide how someone self identifies. Read up on the article of Shania Twain, who though not biologically Ojibwa herself, she identifies herself as an Ojibwa, because it is the tribe of her adopted father. It's not up to you to decide what someone is and what someone is not. Adopted children are just as much children of their parents as biological children are. 74.225.36.136 04:38, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Fantasia Barrino is NOT Cuban due to the fact "a family rumor" says her last name is Cuban. Barrino is of Italian origin, therefore rumor is not sufficient nor confirmable information to validate this claim of Cuban ancestry.
 * Really? Barrino is of Italian origin? Do you have any credible evidence to cite that information. The only information I can find on Barrino are that she is African-American and possibly Cuban. African-American is a given, by virtue of being American and of African descent. But unfortunately, as I tried to explain to you earlier in her talk page and you so conveniently decided to ignore it's not as simple for African-Americans to trace their ethnicity. 74.225.36.136 04:57, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
 * 74.225.36.136 must not conduct independent research. He must not delete the contributions of others without valid and logical discussion and must not refer to lies of racist behavior.
 * I'll address the independent research argument below since you brought it up twice. Lies of racist behavior? I'm not sure I get that. But you instigated all this with your snarky little "comprende" comments. 74.225.36.136 04:38, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Additional issues to be mediated

 * 74.225.36.136 must be informed that he does not own the list
 * Where did I say I owned the list? Please provide evidence of that because I would like to see that. 74.225.36.136 04:38, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
 * 74.225.36.136 must be made aware that he must cite information that is confirmable and not based on rumors nor independent research
 * Really? The information cited is not confirmable? In regards to Fantasia's Cuban lineage, I present an excerpt from her auto-biography from ABC News: . As for Jeff Bezos: . Two articles from reliable sources, how does that constitute independent research?74.225.36.136 04:38, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Additional Notes

 * Why did XLR8TION include the Jeff Bezos article. A simple rundown of that articles history list would show I have never edited that article in my life. That's suspect? 74.225.36.136 04:48, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

''A member of the Mediation Committee will indicate acceptance/rejection/other relevant notes in this section. Non-mediators should not edit this section.''
 * Reject. All the issues listed above, but especially the behavioural accusations, are not things the Mediation Committee can mediate. They are presented in a way which does not allow for a mediated comprimise. If you wish to refile this case, please wait a week, and also read this and this.
