== Request for cabal mediation ==

=== Request Information===
: '''Request made by:''' [[User:Warrens|Warrens]] 17:31, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

; ''Where is the issue taking place?''
: Primarily the [[Talk:Trusted computing]] page, but also within the [[Trusted computing]] article itself 

; ''Who's involved?''
: Myself to some extent.  Also, [[User:Boxflux]], [[User:Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters]], [[User:Fubar Obfusco]]

; ''What's going on?''
: Declarations of bad-faith editing on all sides. [[User:Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters]], for example, has accused me of having a bias because of the work I'm doing on other articles related to Microsoft.  Reversion of attempts to reduce POV without discussion -- such changes are characterised as "white-washing" the "issue", "marketing propaganda", and so on.  Also, a case of premature removal of POV tags when it's clear from the talk page that there is still a fair amount of it in the article.  Finally, the article contains (by letter count) more on criticisms of the subject, than there is on the subject itself -- the balance here is an issue.

; ''What would you like to change about that?
: [[User:Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters]] basically needs to quit acting like he owns the article and is the sole arbiter of what should be included, and what constitutes NPOV.  He also needs to make a stronger effort to play nice with others.  It would be nice for this article to word towards what Trusted computing ''is'', and not so much a clearinghouse for complaints against it, but that probably won't come about in a reasonably encyclopedic way until the name-calling and undue declarations of bias are canned.

; ''If you'd prefer we work discreetly, how can we reach you?''
: No need to be discreet.

; ''Would you be willing to mediate yourself and accept an assignment as a mediator?''
: Not at this time; my primary interest is working towards improving accuracy, informational value, and categorization of articles I have professional knowledge about.
