Where is the issue taking place?

French section of non-native pronunciations of English

Who's involved?

Myself and Agateller

What's going on?

An edit war. He and I disagree about edits that he insists on including. His original inclusion had some edits that I agreed with and others that I did not; I kept the ones I agreed with and the ones I didn’t I removed. He put them back in and although we exchanged a few messages to outline our points, he stopped the discussion when I moved the discussion to the talk page and continued placing his edits in even though I have reverted them and asked him to build a consensus before including his changes.

What would you like to change about that?

I have asked him to either build a consensus, provide some sort of adequate source for his edits (he says he is his own source but knows of many sources), or refrain from including the edits that I have been reverting. This is only on the factual statements that he includes. There is also an issue of the way his edits describe the features that I believe unnecessarily describes accent features as absolutes rather than tendencies and I would rather his edits conform in style to the rest of the article.

If you'd prefer we work discreetly, how can we reach you?

You don't need to work discreetly.

Mediator response

Reviewing the page history suggests that the issue is over with now, so closing (let me know if I'm wrong) Dan100 (Talk) 15:23, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
