Request Information
[edit]- Request made by: Cúchullain t/c 02:15, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
- Where is the issue taking place?
- ...Mi'kmaq language
- Who's involved?
- ...Myself and Codex Sinaiticus. Evertype was involved in the initial discussion in October.
- What's going on?
- ...A user keeps removing "fact" tags at Mi'kmaq language without backing up his claims (and using uncivil edit summaries). However, his claims have been contested on the talk page, so I feel he needs to provide a cite. This is basically a continuation of an issue from October.
- What would you like to change about that?
- ...I'd like him to provide a verifiable source for what he claims.
- Would you prefer we work discreetly? If so, how can we reach you?
- ...No, talk page is fine.
Mediator response
[edit]- Opening discussion. Issue involves style issues as well as sourcing for orthography that will affect several related topics. Serpent's Choice 07:56, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
- The talk page clearly shows a history of a wider disagreement than the presence or absence of citation tags. Widening the discussion in an effort to resolve the core issues. Serpent's Choice 06:03, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
Is this dispute still active or can I close the case? --Ideogram 08:08, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
- Hold on a bit, let me read it; I am named as an 'involved editor' but never heard about this page existing until now... ፈቃደ (ውይይት) 15:32, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
- I'll close it for now. If it needs to be reopened leave a note on my talk page. --Ideogram 13:10, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Discussion
[edit]While using the talk page of the article in question to solve a dispute is encouraged to involve a larger audience, feel free to discuss the case below if that is not possible. Other mediators are also encouraged to join in on the discussion as Wikipedia is based on consensus.
- The specific issue listed here in January was quickly resolved when I provided the requested cite, but there seems to be a general agreement that we need some qualified experts in the Mi'kmaq language to review the article for remaining issues. ፈቃደ (ውይይት) 15:34, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
- Mediation cabal won't be able to provide subject experts. --Ideogram 20:15, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
