I've created an RfC section at Talk:Melissa_Farley#Request_for_Comment:_Melissa_Farley. I've written a statement giving my view of the situation. You should write a statement giving yours. I'll then post the request to Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Biographies and Wikipedia:WikiProject_Gender_Studies/Notice_Board. Iamcuriousblue 07:22, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I'v written some comment on you proposal for the computer vision article. --KYN 22:42, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
I have reverted your last edit to Melissa Farley for reasons that should be patently obvious. Removal of critical statements that are cited and referenced simply because you happen to disagree with them completely flies in the face of WP:NPOV.
I will continue to work on the Farley article and will endeavor to work toward an NPOV version of the article regardless of my feelings about her. I happen to know a lot about Farley, and I think that qualifies me to contribute to an article on the subject. You have no place challenging my right to edit this article based on my off-Wikipedia statements about Farley. As you should be aware of, if you've read over Wikipedia rules and guidelines at all, Wikipedia does not bar individuals with a clear POV on a particular POV on a subject AS LONG AS that editor makes an effort to comply with WP:NPOV. I believe I have done so, and in fact, have made far more of an effort in this regard than you have so far. In fact, I have to say that you've been entirely dishonest about your agenda through this entire editing process, going so far as to pretend that you don't have one.
I insist that if you are going to challenge my edits that we reopen the previous Mediation Cabal case, and that you not try to simply dodge this process like you did last time. Iamcuriousblue 20:33, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, we must insist that you assume good faith while interacting with other editors, which you did not on Melissa Farley. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Ongoing references to any and all edits by another editor as "vandalism" fly directly in the face of the assumption of good faith. Iamcuriousblue 06:35, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
I am going to repeat what I have stated on the Melissa Farley talk page:
No, I will not stop editing this article. What I am asking is that you re-enter the mediation process and re-open Wikipedia:Mediation_Cabal/Cases/2007-06-25_Melissa_Farley. I have nothing more to say to you in the meantime, and I'll note that you have no power whatsoever to demand or request anything of me without going through the dispute resolution process, of which Mediation is the first step. Continue with your temper tantrum if you wish, Axiomatica, I will simply keep editing and will no longer respond to you. Iamcuriousblue 07:26, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
Hi, there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot 12:47, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
I've filed a case with the Mediation Committee (which is the next step beyond the informal Mediation Cabal we had used earlier). The process is voluntary and requires your approval to begin the process. You can go to Wikipedia:Requests_for_mediation/Melissa_Farley and under "Parties' agreement to mediate" can state "agree" or "disagree". I would like to settle these issues concerning the article, but frankly, I feel that in all my discussions with you, you have been single-minded and completely uncompromising in pursuit of your own agenda, hence, trying to talk to you one-on-one is rather pointless. I simply do not feel I deal with you at all without some kind of third party mediation or arbitration. I think with a third-party "reality check", we actually can reach some kind of productive agreement that will allow the article to move forward. Since User:Ninorc has become involved with editing, I have also asked that they be involved in the mediation process as well. Iamcuriousblue 02:06, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
Now I see you are actually taking some interest in the mediation process. However, the Mediation Cabal case you responded to is actually closed right now. We can go either of two ways right now. We can re-open this Mediation Cabal case, put up announcement and have another peer mediator step in. Or we can move the process to Mediation Committee, which is more formal mediation process. Since you have specifically said that you don't think peer mediation is workable, I think the latter course is called for. If that's the case, simply respond to the Mediation Committee link above. I prefer to go through Mediation Committee, but your choice. However, if you're not interested in mediation at all, I'd like to get a clear statement of that, in any event. Iamcuriousblue 19:04, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
The Mediation Cabal Committee case is open and I would like to get on with the task of settling this dispute over the content of the Melissa Farley article. Last time we went into mediation, you basically "disappeared" until the case was closed and I'm hoping that's not what you are doing here. We have serious disagreements over the shape of this article, we've discussed it to death and still don't agree on fundamentals, and really need to engage in a mediated process if anything is going to be accomplished at all.

With regard to your comments on Talk:Melissa Farley: Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks will lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Iamcuriousblue (talk) 15:11, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
An arbitration case has been filed involving you: Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration#iamcuriousblue Appropriate links will also be given on the Melissa Farley entry talk page . axiomatica (talk) Axiomatica (talk) 03:33, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi there, I don't know what is going on on the Melissa Farley article but blanking it is not the way to get the article deleted or to resolve disputes. If there are WP:BLP problems they can be dealt with either through usual dispute resolution or the subject of the article may email us at OTRS, but please don't just blank pages. Thanks, Sarah 02:59, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
I am interested in reopening the Mediation Committee case, since the process never began due to your absence. It has also been suggested that Melissa Farley herself open an account and take part in the same mediation case as well. (Any interested third parties can also join in as well, though I consider you and myself the only essential parties in this dispute.) If you are willing to engage in the process, I will open up a new request for mediation. Please note – if you aren't willing to engage in mediation, I will note that you are formally refusing mediation and take that issue up with the Arbitration Committee again. If I simply don't hear from you within 60 days after this notice (by July 16), I'll assume that you are no longer actively involved in this dispute, and proceed accordingly.

You haven't been active on Wikipedia for some time, so I'm assuming you're no longer an active party in this dispute. Nonetheless, I am giving you this heads-up for a Request for Ccomments for the Melissa Farley article:
Talk: Melissa_Farley: RfC: NPOV and BLP issues?
This RfC will be active through the month of August 2008. Iamcuriousblue (talk) 00:22, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
