Hi Christian. I just saw your posting on Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration.

Just a suggestion, but you may want to try ~~mediation first. Some of our mediators are particularly good, and can really help in working things out, even between the most opposed of parties.~~Ack I missed that mediation had already been tried. Bcorr's advice is good. Generally, arbitration is something to be avoided - it's a point of last resort, and can often take a long time to resolve. Ambi 13:17, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Hi Christian -- regarding your request for mediation (Wikipedia:Requests_for_mediation#VeryVerily_and_CK) -- first of all, it was declined by User:VeryVerily, but even if it hadn't been, (despite Ambi's advice above) I would have asked you to rcarefully read through Wikipedia:Dispute resolution, and then if applicable make a request for comments on the dispute to involve more people in the discussion. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to leave a message at my talk page.

Thanks, BCorr, Chair of the Mediation Committee, 14:29, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)
