Hi! Regarding your comments on my talk page about my protecting the World Genseiryu Karatedo Federation article:
The editors Mario Roering and Peter Lee have been involved in a long edit war on both the Dutch and English wikipedias. I have tried to mediate by asking them to send me a list of the edits that the other user makes that they object to, their reasons for objecting to them and alternate text that might be acceptable to both editors. Peter Lee refused this request, Mario Roering ignored me. I have asked both users to agree to go to formal mediation on the articles, both ignored my request. I asked them to stop making personal attacks against each other, again they ignored me. I deleted the disputed external links from the karate article explaining that such links are not essential to articles so disputed links should just be removed, they both added the links back and continued to edit war over them.
For these reasons both of these users have lost my assumption of good faith. They have no regard for the goals of wikipedia, they are both simply trying to abuse this project to promote their own agendas and attack each other. In my opinion neither the Genseiryu article or the World Genseiryu Karatedo Federation are written from a neutral point of view. In particluar, the WGKF article is being used as an excuse to debunk the GKIF, and the genseiryu article contains hidden messages telling editors what they can and cant edit which is against the policies of wikipedia. Until a solution has been formulated both articles will remain protected as they are now. In the meantime, unless these two users change their editing habits, I will regard them both as vandals and treat them as such. JeremyA (talk) 21:31, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
Edit summaries
At least several of the edit summaries to the two articles you edit have been of an inflammatory nature. Edit summaries are for summarizing your edit not for attacking, criticising or disagreeing with anyone. Please confine your discussions to talk pages and be WP:CIVIL. Do not write short essays in your summaries, merely indicate what you have done. Discuss, politely, on the articles' talk pages. I would urge you to look for other areas of Misplaced Pages to contribute to as well, where you may find less conflict. -Splash 21:55, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

Be sure not to break the Three Revert Rule, and for goodness sake stop fighting over it. -Splash 22:38, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
