=== WHEELER and 172 ===

I would like to request oversight on the dealings [[172]] has with my posts. First, I posted a direct quote from Mussolini with reference. He deleted it. Second, I posted book references in Talk section of Fascism. he removed them, Placed his selections before mine and labeled mine 'polemical'. He will archive a section. Move his stuff forward and archive my posts. Third, I posted images for talking points at the top, he removes them to the reference section as if he doesn't want anybody to see them. I need some help and I need a referee. CAN'T THIS MAN LEAVE ME ALONE AND MY POSTS. He uses one rule for everybody but uses another rule for me. I am getting sick and tired of being harrassed by his edits and reverts, edits and reverts. He is constantly moving my stuff. He doesn't talk to anybody else now. There is a group on there that only talk within themselves and not address others as if we are below them.[[User:WHEELER|WHEELER]] 23:28, 30 Mar 2004 (UTC)

The last step of Wikipedia:Dispute resolution is Arbitration, (see arbitration for a general overview of the topic). If, and only if, all other steps have failed and you see no reasonable chance that the matter can be resolved in another manner, you may request that it be decided by the arbitration committee.

See Wikipedia:Arbitration policy, Wikipedia:Arbitrators

Earlier Steps

Please review Wikipedia:Dispute resolution for other avenues you should take before requesting arbitration. If you do not follow any of these routes, it is highly likely that your request for arbitration will be rejected.

Current requests

The procedure for accepting requests is descibed at arbitration policy. Be brief - put a quick list of the nature of the complaints. Link to detailed evidence elsewhere if you need to.

I am requesting arbitration concerning an interminable reversion war on Zviad Gamsakhurdia (history/talk). Despite a clear consensus following a request for community consensus, User:Levzur has persisted in deleting a section of the article that he does not like in order to impose his own POV, often dishonestly marking his edits as minor "corrections". I should add that the section in question was originally written by myself but has subsequently been rewritten by User:MyRedDice. I am making this request on the basis of being the original author; others may wish to join as co-requesters.

In addition, a reversion conflict appears to be developing on Nino Burjanadze. Although I am not formally including this in the arbitration request, the committee may wish to consider it both in the light of establishing a pattern of behaviour and to head off a particularly pointless fresh conflict.

Please see User:Levzur/Evidence for details of this dispute. -- ChrisO 10:13, 26 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Note: The mediation committee has been involved in this case but Levzur did not agree to mediation. See Wikipedia:Requests for mediation and User talk:Levzur -- sannse (talk) 10:29, 26 Apr 2004 (UTC) (mediation committee)
