Well, it wasn't all that great, although the pattern of Marsden appearaing in the database where other people in the same role do not is revealing. Ianking 01:44, 27 February 2006 (UTC) reply

A request for mediation has been filed with the Mediation Committee that lists you as a party. The Mediation Committee requires that all parties listed in a mediation must be notified of the mediation. Please review the request at Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Rachel Marsden, and indicate whether you agree or refuse to mediate. If you are unfamiliar with mediation, please refer to Wikipedia:Mediation. There are only seven days for everyone to agree, so please check as soon as possible.

A Request for arbitration has been filed regarding the editing of Rachel Marsden, alleging that it is not edited in accordance with Biographies of living people, and you have been named as one of the parties. Thatcher131 20:16, 18 September 2006 (UTC) reply

This case is now closed and the results have been published at the link above.

Per Wikipedia:External links#Links normally to be avoided, articles should not link to copies of press reports archived on any site in violation of copyright. Per Wikipedia:Citing sources#Intermediate sources: State where you got it, citations should state the original source (i.e. the LA Times) and the intermediate source (i.e. "as retrieved from LexisNexis on October 16, 2006"). Articles which relate to Rachel Marsden, may, when they violate Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons, be reduced to a stub by any user or deleted, together with their talk pages, by any administrator. Bearcat and Bucketsofg are expected to conform to Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons rather than the liberal interpretation they have applied. For violation of his previously imposed article ban, as well as edit warring, block evasion, and sockpuppety, Arthur Ellis is banned from editing Wikipedia for one month.

• I didn't realize that there had been vandalism in the Nardwuar the Human Serviette article, but I think I have now fixed most of those problems. I also added an unreferenced tag because there should be sources to back up the claims in the article. Has anyone reported that vandal to admin? It looks like it's a chronic offender who should have his IP blocked. Spylab 17:10, 8 February 2007 (UTC) reply

• I reported the IP here, although I do understand the problem of banning IPs only to have the person return under a different IP address. Apparantly the IP is now blocked for 24 hours. I'm quite familiar with Nardwuar's career as well (as an observer, not an aquaintance) and the information in the article seems right, although it's always good to have references, like the one you added about his real name.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
