Wikipedia talk:Requests for mediation/Archive 20

message: Summary   
    
ISSR Group: Numerous changes/rewrites to article preventing a neutral/unbiased opinion of the Shiloh Shepherd to be presented. Political/self-serving positions, slander, and derogratory statements made against "non-ISSR" breeders/owners. No attempt made to allow the article to be presented providing simple information about the dog without providing personal POV. Continued absence of any presentation of verifiable sources outside of the editors own website/articles. "Breed Founder" continues to turn article in a personal kennel advertisment, while making defamatory unfounded statements about clubs/registries outside of her immediate control.   
    
ISSDC Group: Numerous attempts to keep document unbiased, non-slanderous, and informative using verifiable sources. Attempts to initiate corrective actions via discussion board and additionally via "Talk" option (to user TrillHill) but went without acknowledgement from the user. After multiple discussion points raised, a reply was provide but demonstrated no attempt for an impartial article to be provided, only replacing previously edited comments with further slander and rhetoric.   
   
For moderators to fully understand the issue at hand, an appreciation must be had that this is a breed severely divided. Claims of name ownership (trademark status), citing of civil court settlement documents, only reference breeder's own website and POV articles.    
    
    
POV Comments such as:    
:"imitators and dissident breed clubs and registries arose" which was changed to "alterate" and since changed back and forth.    
:"It must be remembered that the Shiloh Shepherd Dog is from only one kennel, runned and controled by Tina Barber. All breeding is controlled through this kennel by way of her club and registry."   
:"None of these have full documentation regarding the true ancestry, nor do they follow the rules of the official and true registry established by the breed founder, to document all LMX data for this breed while in development."   
:"The breed now has multiple self proclaimed registries"   
:"However, the breeds original registry, International Shiloh Shepherd Registry, Inc. (ISSR) continues to stand strong with over 4,000 carefully selected progeny registered since 1991, and over 45,000 ancestors in their database working with the original breed club - Shiloh Shepherd Dog Club of America, Inc. and Tina M. Barber, the breed founder."   
    
Even reference to items such as "ISSR licensed breeders" are misleading to readers and are further cases of personal POV.   
    
Even links to commonly recognized external/unbiased canine health sources (Pennhip/OFA) were deleted due to ??? (can only assume lack of participation by ISSR users). Even though health is a key section of the article, again no external references outside of the direct control of the founder are allowed (reference the GTF in the discussion area).   
    
I am assuming this issue will not be resolved via mediation due to the hostile nature of the parties involved and in all likelihood should be considered for prompt Wikipedia Arbitration to achieve a final ruling on the article and should then be locked to prevent further editing.

thread_title:  [[Shiloh Shepherd Dog]] 

message: You really need to make up your mind, TB. I know that contridicting yourself usually works for you but in this instance a record is being kept. 
You state above on #1 that this is NOT a breed of dog. Yet in your own article, http://www.shilohshepherds.info/whatIsAShilohShepherd.htm, you refer to the Shiloh Shepherd over and over again as a breed of dog. I counted five times and only read a couple paragraphs. You refer to yourself as a "breed warden" and a "breed founder", and you have a "breed standard". You wrote this yourself!!!! 
#3. It's obvious to anyone readng these posts that you/ISSR have been the ones changing the unbiased information to the lies, name calling, and slanderous information. Just because you say or write differently just doesn't mean it's so.
