Request Information

[edit]
Request made by: Joey80 01:53, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Where is the issue taking place?
specifically, on the article Chaco Culture National Historical Park
Who's involved?
Saravask
What's going on?
The World Heritage infobox, which I placed on the said article keeps being deleted by Saravask, reasoning out that it "gunks" the article "with infocruft" [1]
What would you like to change about that?
It seems that this case is an isolated one, since I didn't have complaints when I made and placed the infobox in other articles. Saravask's view is quite extreme and seems committed on keeping the infobox out of the article. I would like for someone to determine whether the infobox is indeed useful, and even get suggestions on how to improve it. Ultimately, for the infobox to be placed back to the said article.
Would you prefer we work discreetly? If so, how can we reach you?
Through my talk page. Thanks.

Mediator response

[edit]

Joey, please state in point form why you think the infobox heritage should be included in the article. Place these points under the section I have created at Talk:Chaco_Culture_National_Historical_Park#Infobox:_World_Heritage_Site. Alan.ca 09:45, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Compromise offers

[edit]

This section is for listing and discussing compromise offers.

"Identification no" and "WH Committee Session" will be merged into the {{Infobox Protected area}} infobox, since a World Heritage Site is just another type of protected area. Saravask 15:52, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

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 agree to participate. Saravask 22:09, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
