Factory farming RfM

A request for mediation has been filed with the Mediation Committee that lists you as a party. The Mediation Committee requires that all parties listed in a mediation must be notified of the mediation. Please review the request at Wikipedia:Requests_for_mediation/factory_farming, and indicate whether you agree or refuse to mediate. If you are unfamiliar with mediation, please refer to Wikipedia:Mediation. There are only seven days for everyone to agree, so please check as soon as possible. Jav43 17:30, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

BLP and Aiken

Thanks for deleting those passages in the Aiken entry. Thirteen archived talk pages and a failed cabal mediation attest to the degree of controversy over this material, and I will not be surprised if there are those who insist that the media & controversies section is now incomplete, especially after Ken did away with that whole segment. Things have changed at Wikipedia since that section was originally written, especially when it comes to BLP, but I'll be really surprised if this stands without argument. Note for example this August 2006 edit/edit comment on the Aiken page by an editor who edited the JP entry as recently as a few days ago. I hope you will be willing to support the editors if a debate on Talk:Clay_Aiken should arise. A comment from you on Talk:Clay_Aiken explaining your edits would be a helpful proactive move. Thank you. -Jmh123 22:52, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm bringing this out of your archive as it has become relevant again, but deleted irrelevant comments. Today the regular editors are being asked to defend and explain your deletions. I hope you will come to the Aiken talk page and do so. The relevant discussion begins here [1] and continues here [2]. Thanks. By the way, the article has been completely rewritten, and all controversies incorporated into the text, rather than placing them in a separate section. -Jmh123 00:24, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bad ideas

Yeah, I think I concur with you there. And that is why I spoke in private, just because, when I'm typing extemporaneously, trying to brainstorm without censoring my own thoughts, I'm bound to generate some bad ideas. I kinda had a feeling it wasn't a good idea going in, which is why I didn't press forward with it. Let bad ideas rest-- if I were to have acted on that argument (or even discussed it publicly), I don't think it would have persuaded the arbs anyway, and so it would have basically been pointless.

And the case soon to be over now anyway, so it's a moot issue. --Alecmconroy (talk) 10:31, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello FNMF! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to insure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. if you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 1 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
