Wikipedia talk:Requests for arbitration/Messhermit

Comment by uninvolved party 68.39.174.238
Since this involves pages concerning Ecuador and its dispute with Peru, I'd like to bring up a previous vandal who attacked those articles: Long term abuse/The Ecuadorian Pretender. I'm not suggesting either one of the parties was involved with that, but I felt it might be worth noting. If this is an inappropriate place to note this, let me know (Also letting me know where the exact protocol for these things is would be appreciated). 68.39.174.238 02:21, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

I've never taken part in an AbrCom so I'm not even sure how I am suppose to make a statement in the page. I'd just like to point out that it seems the steps to mediate this dispute have not taken place. Not an RFC, nor a Request for Mediation, etc... The dispute seems to have gone immediately from a personal dispute to an AbrCom and it is Wikipedia policy that we must try all normal processes before going to AbrCom so it would seem to me that this AbrCom is not neccessary. At most an RFC should have been created.--Jersey Devil 03:00, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
