Mediator notes

Please indicate your acceptance or rejection of my mediation of this case. This is my first cabal case. I believe that I will be a capable, neutral mediator. --Birdman1 ^{talk/contribs} 18:46, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please respond. In addition, please confirm that you would still like mediation. Thank you. --Birdman1 ^{talk/contribs} 18:23, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the delay, was away for a bit. I would like to have the mediation continue and if you could please make a conclusion. Skopp is not compromising. Arnabdas 20:15, 4 September 2007 (UTC

I'm glad to provide my services. I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide me with a list of documents to which I should refer. I know that Talk:Bill Moyers is where most of the discussion is taking place, but I am aware that various User talk pages may also be involved. Thank you. --Birdman1 ^{talk/contribs} 23:51, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As being the party behind the inclusion of the statement, the only discussion I personally have engaged in is on the talk page. I am not sure about the other users personal pages, but I do know that any discussions I have had with it have been on the talk page itself. We appreciate you taking a look at this in a fair way and hopefully we can get something done. Arnabdas 15:31, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

When can you reach a decision sir? Arnabdas 15:49, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I will review the case this weekend. I have recently resumed my studies, so it has been difficult to remain active on Wikipedia. If I do not reach a decision by Sunday evening, you may request that I withdraw from the case. Thank you for your patience. (By the way, you need not call me "sir.") --Birdman1 ^{talk/contribs} 22:03, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I understand. Just was curious, thanks for your help. I call a lot of people sir, younger or older. No worries. Enjoy the weekend. Arnabdas 17:26, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey this guy Skopp is still on this page watch. It's been a while, do you know a better time frame for this to get taken care of? Arnabdas 18:50, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Administrative notes

Discussion

This request for mediation has been phrased on the most slanted language possible. I suggest the mediator reads the talk page and disregards the one-sided "What's going on" text above. Skopp 03:18, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I took the liberty of changing the "What's going on" text to neutral language. Please tell me if you object to my having done so. --Birdman1 ^{talk/contribs} 18:52, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have no problem with the new text in "What's going on" Arnabdas 15:41, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please close this dispute down. It's old and the consensus on the talk page is not to include. Skopp 08:48, 3 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
