Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/01 July 2012/Darrell Issa

Where is the dispute?
Representative Darrell Issa did not allow Sandra Fluke the ability to testify on contraception coverage. I feel that this decision belongs in the controversy portion of his page. Other editors disagree and think that there should be no content whatsoever involving Sandra Fluke and Rep. Issa's decision.

What is the dispute?
There is a basic disagreement on rather there should be a section on Rep. Issa page involving Sandra Fluke. He says that Rep. Issa had nothing to do with the the controvery that happened when Rush Limbraugh made some statements about Fluke. I think that is true. however, his decision to not allow her to provide testimony is still a notable event.

Administrative notes
I'm closing this, as Bbb23 has indicated he does not intend to participate - mediation is only something you can do when you have the full consent of all involved parties. Also, the consensus at the BLP noticeboard thread seems clearly against including the material. And finally, this is already under discussion in an RfC at the article talk page. However, Casprings, if you have any questions about the dispute resolution process on Wikipedia, just let me know, and I'll be happy to help.
