Summary of Request

I am filing a request for mediation with a disagreement between myself Clubintheclub (talk · contribs) and Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk · contribs) regarding the Woody Allen page. I have added a section, reproduced below, discussing allegations of sexual abuse against Woody Allen leveled by his daughter, Dylan. This section does not accuse him of committing a crime, but discuss a matter of great interest to the public and the media at large. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk · contribs) has reverted those changes without very much explanation and without engaging in the discussion I created on the Talk page. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk · contribs) has also violated the 3 Revert policy.

Relevant policy

• Per WP: BLP#Public Figures and examples, the additions are relevant (see example of the Politician alleged to have an affair).

Summary of Additions that are being Reverted

• [redacted per BLP, conforming to redaction at Talk:Woody Allen]

Primary issues (added by the filing party)

1. Do the sexual abuse allegations against Woody Allen warrant discussion in his BLP page?
2. Do the sexual abuse allegations against Woody Allen warrant a subsection under Personal Life in his BLP page?
3. Are the additions by Clubintheclub (talk · contribs) written with an NPOV and are they cited by credible sources?

Additional issues (added by other parties)

• Additional issue 1
• Additional issue 2

1. Agree. Clubintheclub (talk) 17:04, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
2. No.BLP violations and 3RR violations, not to mention apparent misuse of multiple accounts, are not appropriate subjects for mediation. Note also the dishonesty of the OP by pretending I am the only editor who removed the content at issue. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 17:29, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
