Where is the dispute?
Kansas State University

Who is involved?
Just a list of the users involved. For example:


 * User:Flibbert
 * User:Spacini

What is the dispute?
This dispute is in the name. User: Spacini has claimed to work for the university and has proof in hand of the official name. All research that I find states that the name of the University is Kansas State University rather than "Kansas State University of Agriculture and Applied Science." I've given multiple online sources, including that of the Higher Learning Commission here, as well as a source at the Kansas State Libraries here, and at other random web pages.

In order to avoid a revert war, I would like a third-party to give us their opinion. User:Spacini disagrees with my claims of WP:NOR. I simply have stated that all of my cites are viewable and able to be read. Citing things which User:Spacini claims to have access to does not qualify, in my opinion, as a legitimate source.

What would you like to change about this?
I would like to have the name of the University to be Kansas State University.

I have also stopped reverting the page, as User:Spacini has been quick to revert back rather than discuss with me an alternate solution. I am feeling as if the only option for him is his solution rather than one we can come to an agreement on.

How do you think we can help?
I would like the Mediation team to look at the changes, look at the cites, look at the talk page of Talk:Kansas State University and give us an opinion on what is the appropriate way to proceed.
