Welcome to community enforceable mediation. This is the comment page. If you are not a named party to this mediation, please post comments, evidence, and suggestions here. The mediator Navou may move or refactor statements as necessary.

Both editors have been involved in a rather acrimonious date at Template:Infobox NFLactive regarding the date scheme to be used for Pro Bowl games, in which civility and ability to communicate have severely degraded, and edit warring has resulted in protection of the template. Previous attempts at intervention have failed to resolve the situation or lower the temperature. After a discussion with both editors, they have agreed to participate in this process.

I have been involved in this dispute as I stumbled on it during an RC patrol and tried to step in as WP:3O. My comments are on the the talk page.

Template_talk:Infobox_NFLactive#Resolution_to_Pro_Bowl_years - I believe this to be a fair characteriization of the Pro Bowl dispute.

There are supposedly other issues, but I have yet to see them clearly and concisely laid out.

I'll be watching this with interest. >> jddphd (talk · contribs) 04:21, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It appears that the NFL uses the same convention as Chris. The pro-bowl that ended the 2006 NFL season was the 2007 Pro Bowl [1]. So linking the year like [[2006 season|2007]] seems to make the most sense. Bjewiki 15:38, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Closing case[edit]

It does not appear this will work. I want to thank both participants as well as the outside participants on the outside comments page. It does not appear this form will work out. I am closing this now, and I hope everyone the best. Navou ^banter 17:25, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
