  • Answer: suggested a poll, suggested he follow Wikipedia dispute process and take a poll or consider mediation, put suggested changes on talk page to develop consensus before reverting the page.

What do you expect to get from Advocacy?

  • Answer: either have Sarner stop (He was once blocked for a period of time from the Bowlbypage for this very behavior...or get him to build and then follow the consensus on each page, even if he disagrees with the consensus.

Summary:

[edit]

On the Bowlby page Sarner has again begun to dispute the inclusion of two listed treatments (Theraplay and Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy. He was blocked for this behavior previously. He will not follow the consensus among editors on the talk page. He refuses to engage in dispute resolution procedures. It has been suggested he consider a poll or mediation...and he refuses. He continues to revert the page to his edits from the original page that developed after a long effort to build consensus.

On the Candace Newmaker page he want to exclude all refrences to Advocates for Children in Therapy. However, all other editors see that material as relevant. Sarner is a leader of ACT and is the author of a text cited in both articles. He has an apparent conflict of interest and vested interest here, but refuses to consider other POV and build consensus.

I'm sorry, but I'd have to urge all involved parties strongly against this. Please take a look at WP:DR for help. It s hugely likely that your case will be thrown out immediately. Try talking first and finding a compromise, and only if that fails, go to WP:MEDCAB. Thanks Martinp23 23:31, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Please note that this has escalated...User:Shotwell appears to be abusing Wikipedia policy and has filed a vindictive request regarding sockpuppet because a question was raised regading his relationship with User:Sarner in these disputes. The mediator found his filing the charge provocative and inappropriate: See link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Mediation_Cabal/Cases/2006-10-07_Advocates_for_Children_in_Therapy#Discussion — Preceding unsigned comment added by RalphLender (talk • contribs)
Ralph, my advice is that you let the RFCU go -- you know that you're innocent, and striking back won't help resolve anything. (On the other hand, if you are engaged in sockpuppetry with any of the other accounts Shotwell identifies, and I of course assume you're not, my advice is that you confess, explain that you're a relatively new user and very sorry, and be done with it. It won't affect my advocacy of you, and coming clean before the checkuser comes in shows good faith. If that does happen, I'll be glad to advocate for you in regard to that too.)
