This seems a minor dispute about how the article is to be organized. Lir seems to want to provide an introductory summary at the beginning of the article, but this is very much 172's article, he having written the bulk of it. 172's attitude is not very good, but our practice has never been to ban anyone for being mildly aggressive. Should 172 also request mediation, perhaps that could happen.

I believe numerous requests have been made for mediation, at New Imperialism, over the past year. ? I would like to request arbitration at [[New Imperialism]], where 172 is reverting several paragraphs I have added; on the grounds that "some" of the information belongs "elsewhere".

I think such reversions should be a bannable offence, it is inappropriate to make mass reverts, simply because you are aesthetically unhappy with a portion of a user's edits.

I am trying to improve the Wiki, and my attempts are constantly opposed by a small group of hostile users; who make no attempt to collaborate, instead, they attack and revert for any minor mistake. I expect the arbitration committee to deal with this issue.
