Greeting HJ

Just a heads up -have been trying to get hold of you without success. I have requested mediation for resolving the Meatmaster page

https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_mediation/Meatmaster_Sheep

It boils down to a misunderstanding and poor communication -but there is no bad blood or ill fleeing involved, it is a bona fide sincere attempt to get the matteer resolved. If we can resolve it with proper communication that would be great

Sincerely

Justice Malanot

Issues to be mediated

What is this dispute about? What sections, sentences, or issues in the article(s) can you not agree on? If you are the editor who opened this request, list these issues to be mediated under "Primary issues". If you did not open this request, you can add additional issues to be mediated under "Additional issues". The issues to be mediated would be properly agreed upon later, if this request for mediation is accepted.

Primary issues (added by the filing party)

1. Mr Justice Malanot, the moderator of the Meatmaster Facebook group, is the original source of the edit on the Wikipedia Meatmaster entry
2. A Webmaster from lenasialivestock.co.za copied the Wikipedia entry and put up a Copyright sign. This caused another editor Justlettersandnumbers to allege copyright infringement against Mr Justice Malanot and to delete the original Wikipedia entry. The lenasialivestock.co.za webmaster has now provided clarity in writing and request that the original Meatmaster Sheep entry of Mr Malanot and its information be restored to the Meatmaster wikipedia page as Mr Justice Malanot is the original source of the Wikipedia Meatmaster sheep overview information.

Good day Mr Malanot

I am the webmaster of www.lenasialivestock.co.za and we have various breed descriptions on the website. I hereby confirm in writing that the information of the Meatmaster sheep comes from the Wikipedia page and that I am not the original source of the information.

I have been contacted by Mr Justice Malanot, the South African moderator of the Meatmaster Sheep page and a Wikipedia Editor. It appears the fact that I put up a copyright sign for the design of the lenasia website has caused a Wikipedia editor called Justlettersandnumbers to lodge a copyright dispute against Mr Justice Malanot and caused the Wikipedia Meatmaster Sheep page to be deleted.

Kindly resolve this dispute correctly by restoring the original Meatmaster sheep entry that MrMalanot and the Meatmaster Sheep group contributed. I am not the original of the work but had simply copied and pasted the very good informative Meatmaster Wikipedia entry and used it on the Lenasia livestock page. Apologies for any inconvenience caused

Sincerely

Decision of the Mediation Committee

This section should only be edited by a mediator. The Mediation Committee's representative will indicate in due course whether the request is accepted (meaning a mediator will be assigned) or rejected (meaning you will have to try a different type of dispute resolution). If the mediator asks you a question in this section, you may edit here.

• Recommend rejection: No acceptance by opposing parties. Moreover, probably ought to go to lower-level dispute resolution first. — TransporterMan (TALK) 13:22, 26 September 2014 (UTC) (Committee member)
• Reject. After examination, there has been no extensive discussion of this matter at a talk page and, thus, prerequisite to mediation #4 has not been satisfied. Frankly, this appears to be more of a help request than a request for dispute resolution and I would recommend that the filing editor click here for probable guidance on how to proceed. For the Mediation Committee. — TransporterMan (TALK) 16:18, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
