Pfortuny on Pfortuny s mediation Apologies for the delay and for the following text which is far too long and I think out of place but the discussion has led us here By no means I intend my opinion to be regarded as more important than any other s but for obvious reasons some people are expecting it Here it goes The history of this text is in 15 09 14 Nov 2003 UTC After reviewing the history and talking to I have got the following vision of the facts which is the basis for my opinion expressed below Alex s editions on the 29 were done without discussion on the talk page This was clearly a serious mistake which led to the first catastrophe but I think we may assume good faith here at least ingnorance not malice especially if one follows the summaries diffs etc Alex s editions on the 9 and 10 November were done using the talk page but he made edits before discussing them and given the complete history of the article the edits were too bold to be accepted without previous discussion this led to their being systematically reverted which is common use in the WP for that behaviour and in the end to the blocking of the page This behaviour was clearly a mistake of Alex s and I put it to his not having read the complete history While I am not excusing him I do believe that most of the problems were a result of confusion caused by his Asperger s Syndrome Nobody can agree not to make unilateral edits Adam s expression in whatever page for whatever reason this is a bit too generic and has no deadline He is aware of the damages he may incur in damages for himself if he repeats the above behaviour Before Viajero s suggestion Alex had told me he was going to try to stay out of Mother Teresa s page for a while He has privately told me he is not going to touch the criticism section al least for a fortnight It sounds nice to be a mediator but on the other hand it is a responsibility I can not I mean can not not do not want to or do not like to take up for the moment If Alex behaves like he did on the 9 10 November I will also agree to any rational punishment I want to stress that I was in disagreement with most of his edits I do not think that Alex will cause any further problems Before stating my opinion I would like everybody to know that Viajero s suggestion on my mediation was done without either mine or Alex s prior consent He later expressed his concern about this to me I feel it is only fair to mention it here Hence my opinion is Unblock the page If Alex behaves in a non cooperative way then the resources of Wikipedia to prevent this non cooperative behaviour will be used as with any other user But I mean as with any other user If he were going to appear in the problem page he has to be told in his talk page in advance if he were going to be banned then he has to be told explicitly in his own page and by a sysop or whatever the standard procedure is 12 35 14 Nov 2003 UTC I have read the above and agree with Pfortuny 13 14 14 Nov 2003 UTC Last sentence was inserted by Alex after reviewing the text in my subpage 15 09 14 Nov 2003 UTC EOT 15 09 14 Nov 2003 UTC
