Request Information[edit]

Request made by: TJ Spyke

Where is the issue taking place?: Edits to the Rock/Hogan match on WrestleMania X8

Who's involved?: Myself and TheTruth2

What's going on?: I have formatted the results for the show in the way agreed upon at Wikipedia: WikiProject Professional Wrestling but he keeps changing it even after I asked him to stop and showed him the proper way to format it. He is now accusing me of violating the 3-Revert rule when all I am just edting his incorrect changes after showing him the correct way to write it.

What would you like to change about that?: Have him stop changing it and leave it the way it's supposed to be.

Would you prefer we work discreetly? If so, how can we reach you?: Doesn't matter to me, but my e-mail is [email protected]

As you can tell this was made at 20:03 He warned me at 20:05. My last edit was at 19:49. He did not even warn me. I have not done anythng to it anymore. As you could tell. Also I am not a member of their group. They do not own the article. So whenever someone who is not in the group makes a edit it will be deleted? That is not right. All it is is a summary of the match at the event that it occurs at. Other users would like to see that.--TheTruth2 18:57, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

On another mediation 7/12 solar updrift towers Mediator response Mediator response I've looked into the general situation about the matter. Curently it seems that both participants have views on the best layout and content for the article, and attempt to make it just the way they see it. This is what likely caused the conflict, and so we'll have to find some kind of compromise. Discarding useful additions is not the right way to resolve the problem, so let's expect the resolution might be not exactly what anyone of the participants wanted, but better than the other option. I suggest to state the reasoning in the discussion section, or just suggest compromises right now. CP/M 02:47, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

This is exactly what happened. Their group does not own the article and I am not a member of their article. --TheTruth2 19:12, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mediator response[edit]

So, the issue here is that one of you wants the wrestling articles to follow a play-by-play approach, while the other one wants to follow a generally adopted consensus brokered through WikiProject Professional wrestling? Is that about the size of it? CQJ 17:40, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No action on the disputed section of the article since 1 August 2006, no answers to inital mediator questions - case closed, disputants are free to contact me informally should they feel the situation requires it. CQJ 03:59, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
