-'''URGENT NOTE: ''There is some discussion on the discussion page as to whether the level of detail and use of quoted emails here is appropriate. My note below about impartiality remains, however it IS NOT my intention to be unduly harsh to James Flinders, nor to discredit him. Therefore perhaps there is too much info here, and a simpler version of events would be more appropriate. Please have your say on the discussion page.'''''

 In the summer of 2004, YSTV went through much upheaval when the newly elected Station Director was subjected to a vote of no-confidence just weeks after his election. The series of events became known by some as 'Ructions' after an initial email regarding the dispute which triggered the problems was sent with the title "Prepare for ructions". The story goes something like this...
-'''IMPORTANT:''' The initial writing of this article was done by Rowan de Pomerai. I probably know more about the string of events than just about anyone else, however it will rightly be pointed out that since this all lead to me becoming station director, my impartiality could be doubted. I have done my very best to ensure that this article is a statement of facts and nothing more, however I do invite others who were there at the time to correct or contradict me if they feel appropriate.
+Note: The initial writing of this article was done by Rowan de Pomerai, then it was heavily edited by Jonathan Bufton. We probably know more about the string of events than just about anyone else, however the subject matter is highly charged. The article has been reviewed by as many as possible of the people who were members at the time, and every effort has been made to ensure that this article is a statement of facts and nothing more, however I do invite others who were there at the time to correct or contradict us if they feel appropriate. The intention is certainly not to discredit James Flinders or to criticise him as a person, merely to describe the events of the time as the affected YSTV, including some of the underlying problems.
-'''ARTICLE LOCK:''' It's going to take me a little while to write this I think, so until that time, I have locked the article. Admins may edit it, but I didn't want to open it up to general editing until I've finished. To avoid too many people reading this until it's finished, I have not linked to this page from anywhere else, and I urge you not to either.
