[edit] Statement of the dispute

We have encountered problems with this user on the John Zizioulas page. His conduct led to the page being informally mediated, but this hasn't worked. He has only gotten more abusive to other editors and the mediator. 15:02, 16 April 2008 (UTC) Preceding comment added by Allyne (talk), who created this page. [1]

I agree entirely. Cebactokpatop is a WP:SPA who is trying to disrupt constructive editing on the John Zizioulas page through tendentious edits, incivility and personal attacks, to promote his own anti-Zizioulas fringe theory, which he calls 'traditional Orthodoxy'. Cebactokpatop has already been blocked twice for disruptive editing with respect to an image that he added to the John Zizioulas page. Seminarist (talk) 18:15, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Support also signified on the talk-page by Fr Lev. [2]

[edit] Desired outcome

Cebactokatop to be blocked, at least from editing the John Zizioulas page. [3]

[edit] Description

Cebactokpatop is a SPA promoting a religious fringe view (which he characterises as 'traditional Orthodoxy') on the John Zizioulas page, accusing Zizioulas (the Greek Orthodox Metropolitan of Pergamon) of being heterodox not Orthodox. His tendentious editing, violations of 3RR and repeated incivility and personal attacks have led to informal mediation. (Cebactokpatop has been blocked twice for violation of 3RR, and twice complains against him to wikiquette have been upheld.) Repeated reverts, disruptive edits and incivility of Cebactokpatop (including incivility towards the mediator) have led to breakdown of mediation twice. Three users have now expressed desire to cease mediation and to request comment on Cebactokpatop instead.

Not true from start to the end. Appearance of user Seminarist and his butcher attitude led to the mediation. This user showed up several days ago and started throwing nonsense around, expecting me to comment on it. Besides, he/she appears to be an advocate of the informal mediator...
