| == Mediation Case == | |||
| == Today's Wikipedian 10 years ago == | |||
| A request for formal mediation of the dispute concerning ''Genesis Creation Myth'' has been filed with the ] (MedCom). You have been named as a party in this request.

| Mediation is a process where a group of editors in disagreement over matters of article content are guided through discussing the issues of the dispute (and towards developing a resolution) by an uninvolved editor experienced with handling disputes (the mediator). The process is voluntary and is designed for parties who disagree in good faith and who share a common desire to resolve their differences. Further information on the MedCom is at ]; the policy the Committee will work by whilst handling your dispute is at ]; further information on Misplaced Pages's policy on resolving disagreements is at ]. | |||

| :Thank you. I would not normally have reverted 3 times, but for my personal ethics I don't count the first time because I had every right to assume that when I was first reverted it was in error. Jprw claimed to remove text that was never in the article and gave no real rationale for adding the text they added. This reminds me of the worst kind of edit warring I have seen so far: Reflexive pressing of the "undo" button, based on nothing but edit summaries and editor identity. This kind of editing should never be rewarded, whether it is intentional or not. ] ] 13:35, 18 October 2010 (UTC) | |||

| For the record, this is the sequence of events in article space, and my analysis: | |||

| :* Climatedragon adds references to the "skeptical blog WUWT" | |||
| :* Jprw adds "popular science". | |||
| ; 18 October | |||
| :* I remove "sceptical popular science", explaining in the edit summary that one person's "sceptical popular science blog" is another's "global warming denial blog" | |||
| :* Jprw reverts with an edit summary that suggests they didn't even look at the edit | |||
| :* I remove it again | |||
| :* Jprw adds it again | |||
| :* I remove it again | |||
| :* Yeti Hunter adds it again | |||
| My first revert did not feel like a revert. A great deal of research was necessary to even find out where the text came from. My second revert was in the spirit of cooperative editing – Jprw seemed to have reverted because of a misunderstanding of the nature of my edit. Of course it looks differently now. The next three reverts (including one by me) were inappropriate and I apologise for mine. ] ] 15:04, 18 October 2010 (UTC) | |||

As you may have noticed, we had only three short episodes of interaction so far: One in March 2008, one in August 2009 and one starting a few days ago at ], when I commented in a thread without having a clue that Ronz was involved. While I generally enjoy getting people with robot-like behaviour, such as telemarketers , off-script, I am doing my best to avoid this particular temptation on Misplaced Pages. It may not be good enough, though. If only I knew a good strategy for ending interaction once someone has started applying their script to me. ] ] 18:50, 18 October 2010 (UTC) | |||
| :: I've had this problem and I know how it plays out (which is badly). You're both going to have to try hard to make it work. Avoid the temptation to characterize the other person or his conduct, ''even in a way that you regard as objectively fair or generous''. Forgive and let pass without comment any comment by the other person you find annoying or provoking. Where possible, avoid commenting in discussions on which the other has commented, and when you do so address the subject and not the person. Think generous thoughts about the other person at all times, but don't overdo it, try to see him as a human who finds you as annoying as you find him.
