The Signpost

Please clarify your summary of Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Barrett v. Rosenthal

"According to Durova, Ilena is the Rosenthal in that case, and she alleges that Fyslee has a close relationship with Barrett."

Actually my evidence cites Ilena's own statement that she is the Rosenthal of that case. The pronoun she is ambiguous and problematic: Ilena asserts that Fyslee and Barrett are close associates; I'm female also so it's unclear which of us is being attributed. Fyslee has called himself a former associate of Barrett. I presented those claims to the committee and haven't done an independent investigation to determine how true they are.

I just discovered this here and believe you should be very careful about how you use the word "associate" here. It can be understood in several ways, often implying a work colleague, partner, employee, boss, etc., none of which is true in this case.

I am rather shocked to discover that this matter has been publicly mentioned in The Signpost, which I never read, without a requirement that both myself and Ilena approve of the text before its publication (IOW each other's statements). Such a procedure could help to avoid a repetition of possible (I'm speaking of matters of priniciple here) misrepresentations, defamations, insults, etc. in The Signpost. These are matters of an unsettled RfArb, and I would think such a matter should not be publicized before it is finished. Please be more careful in the future. Please reply on my talk page. -- Fyslee (First law) 23:07, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

My RfA

I replied to your concern on My RfA. If you don't want to change your vote for some reason, I can live with that. But, on a personal level, I do want you to know that you misunderstood the meaning of that entry. I'm not that sort of person. Kafziel ^Talk 20:54, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Freeper test

Generally on the money. Statements by uninvolved parties go on the talk page rather than the main page. Who is "involved" is sometimes a judgement call based on what they say in their statements. I probably would have kept more of the statements on the main page than brad did, but fewer than you did. That wouldn't cause any real grief, though, as someone who wanted to be listed as a party can always move their statement themself or ask a clerk. Thatcher131 04:51, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
