Where is the dispute?
This section should explain where the problem is. Link to the articles where the dispute is taking place. The problem regards the controversy section of the article on Rajenda K. Pachauri

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

User:William M. Connolley
 * User:Akumabarai
 * User:FellGleaming
 * User:Dean Morrison

What is the dispute?
The specific dispute is about whether the InterAcademy Council report on the IPCC processes should be mentioned and, if so, how it can be mentioned neutrally and without bias.

I've written the original paragraph and cited news articles as materials. I then expanded it to include a quotation from the review in question. There have been multiple reverts during this process. I asked people to make changes and additions rather than deleting, but the other users insisted that it was biased  and demanded that I re-write the contribution before they would make their own edits. Relevant sections of the talk page are: (the last half),.

What would you like to change about this?
I've tried to structure the conversation productively, but to no avail. I would like protection on my section so that at least something exists that users can productively change.

How do you think we can help?
It would be useful to start by establishing a consensus on whether the additional paragraph is relevant to the article. Assuming so, then it would be helpful if the other side of the dispute produces its own version that can be used to illustrate and compare. I understand that can't be forced, but perhaps it could be encouraged by a neutral third party.

Mediator notes
I am conflicted on this case. Does the great-omnibus global warming arbcom case make this moot? Hipocrite (talk) 13:54, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

Administrative notes
I am closing this case; several parties to the mediation have been topic banned, which renders the issue moot.
