== Informal mediation for Yorkshirian et al == 

 Hi Gwen.  Thank you for offering to help informally mediate the situation with , ,  and .  We would definitely appreciate some more outside assistance, whether administrative or just with mediation.  The situation has grown beyond what I'm able to handle myself. 

 I think the best way to help at the moment would be if you could review Wikipedia:Requests for Comment/Yorkshirian and add any comments there.  As of right now, Yorkshirian has posted a response there and has agreed to tone down his interactions with other editors, on the condition that they also treat him more civilly.  I think that's a reasonable request on his part, and it's a good first step toward getting all this hashed out.  I also think that the articles in question need a third opinion or request for comment to address the content dispute. 

 Thanks again, and thanks for taking a look at the ANI report.  I was getting really tired of seeing stuff go unanswered there - this is far from the first time I've had that happen with incidents I've been involved in. — ''''''  —
