    Hi

    You are involved in a recently filed request for arbitration. Please review the request at Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Case#GamerGate and, if you wish to do so, enter your statement and any other material you wish to submit to the Arbitration Committee. Additionally, the following resources may be of use—

    Thanks, --DSA510 Pls No Hate 19:25, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

    Please reason with @Ryulong: about this. You have clearly commented on the article many times. --DSA510 Pls No H8 21:14, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
    There is a huge leap between commenting on an article or subject and being "involved" in an arbitration case. With such a low bar to participation, you might as well list every single editor who worked on an article as being involved in a case request. Liz 00:19, 11 November 2014 (UTC)

    One Young World

    Jimbo, don't you think the One Young World article could use some improvement? For example, it mentions the Dublin 2014 event as if it is still in the future. Also, there is not a single word of criticism about the organization. Do you think that reliable sources have never critiqued the organization or its programs? - Stylecustom (talk) 00:17, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

    Jimbo shouldn't be held accountable for every single article on Misplaced Pages. A great way to adress the issues that you're having is by taking it up on the article's talk page where editors who are interested in that article can see your concerns. It would be quite wierd if Jimbo had to go over all 5979 pages with an NPOV dispute and fix them. He is the co-founder of Misplaced Pages but he's not a machine or miracle maker. Best Regards InsaneHacker (talk) 09:59, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
    Hey, thanks for your feedback, InsaneHacker. But, the reason this article may be more germane to Jimbo than other articles is that Jimbo delivered a presentation at the 2014 One Young World conference in Dublin. I just read an article at Wikipediocracy.com that suggests that most of One Young World has been written by people closely associated with the organization. So, if we bring that up on the Talk page, what's the typical solution? Do we just gut the article and start over, or is it okay as it is? - Stylecustom (talk) 14:35, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
