Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Meelar and Firebug vs. Mlorrey

User:Meelar and User:Firebug vs. User:Mlorrey

Please see the request for comments against me, user Mlorrey. I hereby request mediation against the political edit-stalking of Meelar and Firebug.Mlorrey 21:05, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I'm willing to participate in whatever it takes to get neutral content into articles. If Mlorrey thinks mediation will help, that's fine. Best, Meelar (talk) 21:11, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)

I'm baffled as to why Mlorrey feels mediation against me is necessary at this point. Prior to that request, I had reverted a total of two of his edits, he claimed that my actions constituted "vandalism", and I reverted another edit. I don't feel that Mlorrey made a good-faith effort to use other avenues of dispute resolution before requesting mediation. The only reason that Mlorrey's actions came to my attention in the first place is that Meelar opened a RFC against him, and I reviewed his edit history to determine whether I wanted to endorse it. After reviewing his edits, I determined that a number of them flagrantly violated Wikipedia's NPOV policy, so I reverted them, and endorsed the RFC. I suspect that this request is retaliation for the RFC on Mlorrey's part. Since this situation began, I have made a compromise edit on Gun Control Act of 1968 that I hope will be suitable to all parties. Unfortunately, Mlorrey's comments on his RFC indicates that he believes it is objective and NPOV to state that gun control and politicians supporting it are fascist, so I fear that edit wars will continue to rage over this controversial issue.

Objection

Mlorrey challenges the reality of Firebug as a person independent of being a sockpuppet of Meelar.Mlorrey 04:12, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Objection 2

Mlorrey also challenges Firebug's certification as a co-plaintiff, as Firebug intentionally initiated agression against my edits, AFTER this dispute began, which is a violation of dispute resolution protocol, in order gain this certification, and therefore is intentionally 'throwing himself in front of a bus'. This is fraud and his certification should be dismissed by whoever is ajudicating this court.Mlorrey 04:18, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Temporary Injunction/Restraining Order invoked against Meelar/Firebug

Mlorrey has also previously requested that this be moved to mediation, but has not been notified of any mediator taking jurisdiction of this case via message or email. Therefore, this case cannot move forward, nor can the alleged co-plaintiffs take further action until mediation jurisdiction has been established. Under the Hague Service Convention, he is entitled to be served proper notice. As a website providing service in many Hague signatory nations (including the US, Canada, and Europe), wikipedia is bound by this treaty. Until such is done, Mlorrey hereby revokes Meelar/Firebug's further authority to initiate force against him or his edits in wikipedia. This is to be considered a temporary injunction/restraining order against further changes of his edits and all reversions committed by Meelar/Firebug since the date of this RFC must be reversed, until such time as an official Wikipedia mediator acceptable to both sides agrees to accept jurisdiction over this case.

Frankly, this is some of the most bizarre stuff I've ever read on Wikipedia. Mlorrey, this isn't a court of law. Firebug 06:13, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
