Mediator(s) | -- Alpha Quadrant ( talk) 03:30, 18 September 2010 (UTC) |
Just a list of the users involved. For example:
The dispute is over the Crowd size section. There are two editors ( User:82.135.29.209 and User:The Artist AKA Mr Anonymous who insist on giving what we believe to be undue weight to estimates by CBS News/AirPhotosLive.com and Stephen Doig. These editors have consistently stated that CBS's is "the only scientific estimate" and should be treated as such in the article. There are multiple issues with their edits, such as NPOV, debate, original research, and undue weight. Consensus has been against them, with at least five editors consistently disagreeing with their various edits or statements on the talk pages. I posted to the incidents noticeboard for help, which resulted in the page being locked from editing for a week. However, little to no progress has been made since then.
Essentially, two editors have been stonewalling five who disagree with them. The five of us have Wikipedia policy on our side but it is impossible to get anything done because these two editors refuse to comply or compromise. We have been trying to move forward several days but have gotten nowhere.
I think consensus has been established by the five editors: The section should be simple reporting and should not go into analysis over certain estimates. We are in need of an expert to back us up so we can move forward.
I am looking over the dispute, I believe that the Ip address and User:The Artist AKA Mr Anonymous are one and the same. The address has made one edit and the rest have been to Talk:Restoring Honor rally. I'll send this to WP:SPI
