Questions:

Have you read the AMA FAQ?

• Answer: Yes

How would you describe the nature of this dispute? (policy violation, content dispute, personal attack, other)

• Answer: Content dispute

What methods of Dispute Resolution have you tried so far? If you can, please provide wikilinks so that the Advocate looking over this case can see what you have done.

• Answer: I edited, giving a reason for the change; they reverted, saying I was being disruptive.

What do you expect to get from Advocacy?

• Answer: To explain that 'one' = 'one' ; more than 'one' = 'some'. This is a matter of factual info; I think that this editor is pushing a POV by making 'one' item seem like more than that.

Followup:

When the case is finished, please take a minute to fill out the following survey:

Did you find the Advocacy process useful?

• Answer: I didn't agree with the decision, but the process is okay.

Did your Advocate handle your case in an appropriate manner?

• Answer: Yes.

On a scale of 1 (worst) to 5 (best), how polite was your Advocate?

• Answer: 5 (seemed to be very nice; also a Mac user!)

On a scale of 1 to 5, how effective do you feel your Advocate was in solving the problem?

• Answer: 1 (he preferred a 'vague' edit when there was a specific answer).

On a scale of 1 to 5, how effective do you feel the Advocacy process is altogether?

• Answer: 3 (too much leeway for an individual; opens the door for POV)

If there were one thing that you would like to see different in the Advocacy process, what would it be?

• Answer: ??

If you were to deal with this dispute again, what would you do differently, if anything?

• Answer: nothing differently.
