Where is the issue taking place?
On User Talk:Lucky 6.9
Who's involved?
User:WarthogDemon, User:Lucky 6.9, User:SebastianHelm
What's going on?
Some time ago, I offered to help User:Lucky 6.9 fix up the uncivil comments on his talk page: [1]. . He responded on my talk page here: [2]. This apparently has not been a problem until a user (later confirmed a sockpuppet) brought up a cabal case of Lucky deleting comments on his talk page. The cabal case can be found here [3].

In a nutshell, I am wondering if my helping in good faith, is disrupting the flow of Wikipedial. I have recieved little feedback on this except from User:SebastianHelm at the bottom of: [4]. I have tried correcting my mistakes, but I am starting to fear I'm creating more problems then fixing them.

What would you like to change about that?
Depending on whether or not my offer to Lucky is acceptable with policy...

If my helping is acceptable but I have still removed several legit messages that someone please inform me directly so I can get a better idea of what can be considered "abusive" and what isn't. (I think my views on what is and is not abusive, does not comply with Wikipedia's standards, so I want to change mine if that is the case.)
If my helping is not acceptable, then by all means, let me know on my talk page. The {{User:Saoshyant/Userboxes/User oops}} is on my user page for this very reason.

If it's also okay, I might even prefer having this discussion at the top of my talk page. (Along with a message telling an admin or third party editor to inform me should my edits create more damage than good.)

Would you prefer we work discreetly? If so, how can we reach you?
No, having this worked out discreetly would run the risk of having this issue brought up yet again. Public, yes.

Discussion

[edit]

While using the talk page of the article in question to solve a dispute is encouraged to involve a larger audience, feel free to discuss the case below if that is not possible. Other mediators are also encouraged to join in on the discussion as Wikipedia is based on consensus.

I definitely believe you are acting in good faith, there is no doubt about that. As long as you are a bit more careful about what to remove and what not to remove. It's not that big a deal; let's hope it doesn't become a bigger deal. MESSEDROCKER 22:18, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
