I'm not sure but in my opinion user Kingroyos is doing biased POV edits on the Murder of Michaela McAreavey article.--BabbaQ (talk) 19:33, 21 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Ryker-Smith (talk) 10:01, 22 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
In my opinion something radical is needed to save this article into not becoming a Pro-Mauritius-anti-Ireland article. Like reverting Kingroyos edits and have a consensus discussion about them all at the talk page.--BabbaQ (talk) 13:25, 22 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
There does seem to be a leaning towards this becoming a pro-Mauritius/anti-Ireland article. While I do not consider that to be an acceptable outcome, neither do I consider it right for this to become pro-Ireland/anti-Mauritius; which I suspect is the majority view and undoubtedly your own too.
Multiple reverts based on who made them can be seen as ad hominem - and not justifiable if we take Kingroyos edits as good faith. Also to be considered is the WP prohibition on that level of reversion; there are reasons for that policy and I instead believe that changing errors and inaccuracies as they arise will lead to a better article.
The difficulties seem partly to arise from conflating: (inclusion of references to suggestions of a tourism boycott) with (those suggestions themselves). It is possible to understand how any Mauritian could be angered by those suggestions and how those issues naturally conflate; after all, the average Mauritian is as revolted by the events as anyone else. It is therefore easy to understand any defensiveness that has arisen.
It is also easy to understand how many Irish people are angered by the failure of the Mauritian police to investigate in a manner that would lead to successful prosecution of the guilty party - whoever that may be. Irish people are naturally angry at this failure to find justice.
If wording can be found to clarify the facts while steering between these concerns the issue may naturally resolve without 'radical' action.
I agree that the talk page is the place to build consensus.

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.
