  • Will Beback claims that edits made to these articles by HonourableSchoolboy reflect "LaRouche concepts" and "LaRouche-derived theories." He threatens to ban HonourableSchoolboy unless he stops editing articles on economics and edits only articles on "your hometown, favorite team, or other neutral subjects." HonourableSchoolboy responds by saying that his edits are not "LaRouche concepts" or "LaRouche-derived theories," but instead, generally known and accepted historical and current events matters, with good sources.

Issues to be mediated

[edit]
  • User Soxrock uploaded larger versions of sports logos on various pages, such as: Green Bay Packers and Indianapolis Colts. The images were very large, which violated WP:FUC #3. The images were also duplicates. For instance, the logo Image:GreenBayPackers_100.png is a duplicate of Image:GreenBayPackers_1000.png. The original (the first one) was used on nine articles and the second was not used at all. User Aviper2k7 tagged the second image as speedy as it was a duplicate and removed it from the page. User Soxrox took all of the first images off of every article and replaced it with the second and resized the image down.
Should the original smaller image be used as it is low-resolution and fits WP:FUC fine while the other image may be too large and not-needed, or should the second image be used because it may look nicer and be needed in the articles, while still not violating WP:FUC?

Additional issues to be mediated

[edit]
  • WP:FUC- How big does a logo have to be before it violates Fair Use? If an image is small enough and looks fine in the mainspace, does it need to be bigger?

  2. Agree--Manningmbd 05:17, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Disagree because I feel that the details of this dispute is beyond the scope of the Mediation Committee. The ultimate goal here is trying to enforce an official Wikipedia policy here, specifically fair use criteria rule #3. Thus, a resolution to this dispute should in some way be binding - something the mediation committee cannot do alone. For the past year, there have been various discussions on Wikipedia talk:Fair use regarding the central question "How big does a logo have to be before it violates Fair Use?" and there yet has been a consensus on there as to the specifics. Thus, I have only reverted those images of Soxrock's that exceed around 500px solely because they take up most of the screen on my 800x600 monitor. But because there is no consensus on the central fair use question, I have been abstaining from acting on 400px images because of how they appear on my other computer's widescreen monitor.

Issues to be mediated

[edit]
  • Sean Martin should be banned from editing the Stephanie Adams article due to conflict of interest.
  • Sean Martin should be banned from editing the Stephanie Adams article due to repeated sneaky vandalism.
  • Sean Martin made inappropriate personal and derogatory comments about the subject matter (Stephanie Adams) therefore causing further conflict of interest and should be banned from editing.

This request for mediation has been rejected. However, since this page remains available a few items should be clarified.

  • Sean Martin has not done any sneaky vandalism. All of his edits have been signed and accompanied with clear explanations for the change.
  • None of the comments against Sean Martin have been signed.
  • Many of the comments against Sean Martin have come IPs in the same Verizon access pool in NYC Manhattan. This should be noted when considering whether there is actually just one person objecting.

Additional issues to be mediated

[edit]
  • Sean Martin made personal attacks against users and even included a personal attack on the subject matter (Stephanie Adams) and should be banned from Wikipedia.
  • Sean Martin made legal threats to the subject matter (Stephanie Adams) even though she is the subject and not directly involved in the dispute and should be banned from Wikipedia.

This request for mediation has been rejected. However, since this page remains available a few items should be clarified.

  • Sean Martin has been personally attacked and all IPs used to do so should be banned from Wikipedia.
  • The person asking for this mediation has posted false information about Sean Martin and should be banned form Wikipedia.
  • Sean Martin has been personally attacked by an anonymous editor who uses an IP traced to www.goddessy.com, Stephanie Adams' own website. Any IP associated with her website should be banned from editing.
  • Sean Martin removed any suggestion of legal action the instant it was pointed out that such was against Wikipedia policy.

  1. Agree.
  2. Agree.
  3. Decline. Reasons: having cooperated before (the AMA & M. Cabal), without any indication of what has been investigated about the case, a totally unargumented "I feel both parties to be at fault" was not informative. I am not interested to find out any of the "issues to be mediated": who is more at "falt" is irrelevant and I do not recognize to be at fault. It assumes the Humanism article to be in need of a fix; an article is not to be a compromise between editors, there are Wikipedia standards that editors are supposed to follow. Thus for mediation to be an option, the issues need to be rephrased so that the outcome depends on the findings of the mediation committee. — SomeHuman 8 Feb2007 06:11 (UTC)
