Iggles vs. MartyBanks

Posting non-NPOV in the Dunell Hills page Dunell_Hills#A_Brief_History_of_Dunell_Hills_After_the_Outbreak -- —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Iggles (talk • contribs) 12:45, November 11, 2008.

Sign next time. And wouldn't "non-NPOV" just be POV? Anyway. I'll be the Arbitatortot if you both agree. --Sonny Corleone ^{DORIS MSD pr0n} 19:46, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

I'll volunteer as well. -- Atticus Rex ^{mfu pif} Δ 20:12, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Likewise. Have you informed Iggles of this? --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 20:34, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Isn't Iggles the one challenging? Someone should inform MartyBanks. Anyway, it's established community precedent to try to resolve this via non-arby means first. If this is a first-time offense, this isn't really worthy of an arby-it's not really a "dispute." I can't arby as I was in a similar disagreement over the Dulston danger status a few weeks ago with Iggles, so I would have a slight bias. Linkthewindow ^{Talk MCM} 20:55, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Actually, a quick look at the Dunell Hills log looks like this was a short but busy edit war. At the same time though, has anyone tried to solve this by non-arby means? Taking this to arby is just a waste on the arbirator's time if it could be easily solved via peer-to-peer mediation (I solved my Dulson issue with Iggles that way before.) Linkthewindow ^{Talk MCM} 10:30, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Oh yeah, the lack of signing did confuse me. Iggles should inform marty. he's the one pushing for arbies after all. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 20:59, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

I will also volunteer to arbitrate. I will inform the other party of this case. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 22:58, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Right...take Iscariot. Maybe he'll only report you once during the proceedings. --Sonny Corleone ^{DORIS MSD pr0n} 00:22, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

I'm tossing my hat in. I don't have a hat. But you get the idea. -- Cheese 23:01, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Uh, Iggles, if you really are a member of the Dead then you should know better than take this to Arbys. The goon attitude is fuck the wiki. If you were a real goon you would just edit war, swear a lot, then make an MSPaint of Marty. I call fake. If this continues through Arby's the Dead disavow any knowledge of this Iggles person. --– Nubis ^NWO 02:35, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Generalising a bit there Nubis =P I will be arbie if anyone likes. D^ANCED^ANCER^EVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 02:59, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

I do not have the time to be arguing semantics with my schedule; I will merely make my case quickly. The DHPD and the Dead have been fighting an epic battle in which each side has kicked some serious but; Now I can understand if a member of the Dead wishes to add their groups recent progress to the record; however the edit that Iggles made was not NPOV and was grammatical nightmare.

http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php?title=Dunell_Hills&action=history

The last time that the history section was edited in such a manner it began with a flame war throughout the Dunell suburb pages that resulted in both page improvements and page defacement to all affected pages. My stance is that if Iggles wants to make a change to the section he should do it in an NPOV manner and should at least try to write it well; WanYao did a lot of work with both the dead and our group to make a good NPOV history for Dunell Hills and I'd like to honor that by keeping it as neutral as possible. Before I had found out about the arbitration I had actually made an edit to add the new events and retain the NPOV and structure of the work. I hope that it is acceptable, if not I'll have to get someone else to participate in this case in place of myself.

Edit- As for who's arbitrating, I'm not sure of the rules for it but I personally would like someone who is neutral and with a record of fairness, perhaps Sonny Corleone, WanYao, Jorm, or Conndraka. --Marty Banks (aka. Mundane) <DHPD> 04:26, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

I'll represent DHPD for you, Marty. This is a stupid case and shouldn't go to arbies since we had a nice version worked out. Also, I'm pissed that he cut the line that I think I wrote. History isn't just what happened yesterday. The History section represented both sides well and didn't dismiss either sides' contribution to UD. -- #99 ^DCC 13:51, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Marty, quick question, I'm going by this edit, what exactly is grammatically incorrect about that edit? Personally I'd add a single comma, but that's hardly what I'd describe as a 'grammatical nightmare'. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 04:37, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, both grammatical and linguistic... and yes, nightmare is a bit steep but it is the combination of the improperly written section and removal of a relevant NPOV assesment from WanYao... Read my edit in the newest revision see if that works and let it be noted that I did not make any editing or write anything new on the page until the last edit, That's all I got... Have a good one guys... --Marty Banks (aka. Mundane) <DHPD> 05:06, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Recusing myself as a semi-interested party, I'd do it but my impariality would be in question. Conndraka^{mod TAZM CFT} 19:11, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

I offer to arbitrate. I don't know either of you, so that's the most neutral you can get.--Drawde ^{Talk To Me! DORIS Яed Яum Defend Ridleybonk! I know Nothing!} 21:29, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

This case looks like it died off. If not, please say so soon because I am going to archive it. --ZsL 23:08, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
