What is the dispute?
The article is a description of what a blue water navy is followed by a listing of current blue water navies.

The issue centres around the removal of a section called "Navies with limited expeditionary capabilities". It is the opinion of myself and another user that this section is original research as all sources given do not contain anything that cites the navies listed in the section as having limited expeditionary capabilities (limited consensus was reached as to the removal of the section). Personally I believe that such a section, properly sourced or not, does not belong in a description of what constitutes a blue water navy as it is a breeding ground for nationalist edits. A single user now disagrees with that reasoning and reverts any attempt to remove it.

What would you like to change about this?
I believe it to be in the best interests of the article if the section (Navies with limited expeditionary capabilities) value be judged.

How do you think we can help?
It was advised to seek mediation with regards to the content in the section involved and this should provide a bottom line with regards to the dispute.
