Where is the issue taking place?

The Joe Lieberman page

Who's involved?

Mostly myself and user LionO

What's going on?

Edit war, where he is continually changing language that dozens of editors have viewed as legit, one that I've been afraid to leave because he'll just make the page into a PR page for JL.

What would you like to change about that?

I'd like the consensus opinion on the page contents to be respected.

Would you prefer we work discreetly? If so, how can we reach you?

You can reach me at ken03@cqmail.net. I would prefer this occur quickly, as a political page about someone running for office is at issue, making it time sensitive. The response may include temporary bans for both of us and/or protecting the page. I'm willing to take a ban for almost any length if a revert is made to a consensus page and he is prevented from editing it for as long as I am.

Mediator response

The Mediation Cabal cannot issue bans. That's not what we're here for. Stifle (talk) 10:11, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

No activity on dispute for two weeks. Closing case. --Ideogram 16:55, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
