Statement by Cossde

This page as seen weeks of WP:BATTLEGROUND and possible WP:NAT editing, with controversial content been added with single sources that are most cases primary sources that have clear conflict of intrests and even been labled "pro-rebal". Some other sources with WP:TRIVIALMENTIONS, that makes the content appear WP:OR. Request for more citations per WP:EXCEPTIONAL and WP:CHALLENGE have been refused. Hence I am requesting arbitration to settle this matter by establishing the quality, type and style of citations needed for this artcile. Cossde (talk) 05:19, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

On April 28, 2024, I updated a ten-year old map in the Seattle metropolitan area page using guidance provided by an official U.S. government OMB publication. The individual in question here reverted my edits without, claiming that my edits were "unnecessarily complicated map" and "disruptive." He also threatened to have me banned as an editor. By reviewing his extensive edits on the page in question, he has taken an monopolistic ownership of this and several pages in violation of the spirit of Wikipedia. Nor does he respect other editors' contributions as thinly veiled stylistic disputes. I am open to stylistic changes and I am not familiar with every rule, and your other editors have been very helpful in providing guidance.

Maximum of 500 words (you can use http://www.wordcounter.net/ to check). You should use diffs and links to support the case you are making, and try to convince the arbitrators that the dispute requires their intervention. You are not trying to exhaustively prove your case at this time; if your case is accepted for arbitration, an evidence page will be created that you can use to provide more detail.


  • ATTENTION:*
  • Once you have entered all required information into this template, preview and then save it. It will place the request in a new section at the bottom of Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case.
  • You must inform all parties that they have been named in this request using You are involved in a recently filed request for arbitration. Please review the request at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case#CASENAME and, if you wish to do so, enter your statement and any other material you wish to submit to the Arbitration Committee. As threaded discussion is not permitted on most arbitration pages, please ensure that you make all comments in your own section only. Additionally, the guide to arbitration and the Arbitration Committee's procedures may be of use.

Thanks,.

  • Once you have done this provide the diff of the notification in the area provided.
