Issues to be mediated[edit]

Primary issues (added by the filing party)
  1. In the article it is attributed to Irving what he did not write?
  2. User, on technicality accuses me of edit warring while reverting edit restoring what Irving DID write in that particular book, saying the change is 1) major 2) promotes Irving's views
  3. Admin sides with the accuser, who ratted to admin, while refusing to discuss in talks, just keeps reverting
  4. All refusing any debate, as to why they insist Irving should remain misquoted
Additional issues (added by other parties)
  • Additional issue 1
  • Additional issue 2

Parties' agreement to mediation[edit]

  1. Agree. Yuri Kozharov (talk) 22:59, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Decision of the Mediation Committee[edit]

  • Reject. Fails to satisfy prerequisite for mediation #4, "The parties must have first engaged in extensive discussion of the matter in dispute at the article talk page and discussion only through edit summaries will not suffice".

  • User:Yuri Kozharov Parties opposing the edit were refusing to take part in discussing and this resulted in me being warned, which currently on Russian wikipedia, serves as additional reason to support request to block me. Currently, parties (at the US wiki) entered discussion in talks but insist that, while my link to prove existence of the matter is interesting, it does not mention Irving but mentions Stalin etc, while the matter that this David Irving author was misquoted and for that misquotation his (Irvings) reasoning is added, which raises suspicions that this is a POW, refusal to accept rewording (and correctly attributing to Irving what he DID write) continues. Apologies for editing here after the decision was served. —Preceding undated comment added 01:43, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
