Request Information
Who are the involved parties?
- User:Hkhenson - someone who wrote a 2002 article on capture bonding, and feels he is the expert on the subject.
- User:Sadi Carnot - someone who is trying to clean and organize all the related articles on human bonding.
What's going on?
In short, Keith Henson, i.e. User:Hkhenson, started the article in 2005 with a paste from a 2002 article he wrote. He feels he is the expert on this subject and will not let other views go into the article. The talk page summarizes the situation.
- Admin comment. There appears to be a content dispute as to what constitutes Capture-bonding (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) which has lead to repeated reverting between Hkhenson (talk · contribs), who prefers an article based mainly on his own publications, and Sadi Carnot (talk · contribs), who prefers a version with a wider base of source material. The revert war has the effect of preventing improvement of the article. Physchim62 (talk) 17:19, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
I believe this is a biased view of the situation and that Sadi's "improvements" have been making a confused mess of a simple concept. I stand on my comments on the talk page and in addition would appreciate User:Sadi Carnot being asked not to delete white space or otherwise edit other posters comments on talk pages as discussed at User_talk:Hkhenson. Keith Henson 21:33, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
What would you like to change about that?
Mediation Cabal, please review the situation at article capture-bonding and give your opinion.
Mediator response
Both parties, please confirm here whether you will accept my services as mediator. Jehochman (talk/contrib) 09:16, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
- If you know or are willing to learn the basics of evolutionary psychology I accept. It's a terminology dispute. Keith Henson 04:58, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you for your response. I am not familiar with the topic, but I am a fast study. The only commitment I make is to listen to what both of you have to say, and give my suggestions for how to resolve the dispute.
- I note that you have written yourself into the article, which immediately raises a conflict of interest concern. As a mediator, I do not take sides in your dispute. However, I am not required to turn a blind eye to violations of Wikipedia policy. In this case the proper response may eventually be my filing a report on the conflict of interest notice board. Before doing that, I invite you to read the COI guideline. The other editor's participation and review of your work may actually be a good thing because that can help maintain neutral point of view, if you are open to working together. Jehochman (talk/contrib) 10:40, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, I accept your services as a mediator and thank you ahead of time for your help. --Sadi Carnot 16:17, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
