Issues to be mediated

 * Primary issues (added by the filing party)
 * 1) Should we describe the causes of the War of the Pacific in the article Economic history of Chile solely focused on the "Chilean reasons", without any attempt "to shift focus" to Bolivia and Peru or should we describe also the context of the causes? (See diff)
 * 2) Should we use primary sources to suggest the reader that the presented causes were the real causes of the war? (See diff)
 * 3) Should be theories rebuked by the mainstream historians be explained in the article and mainstream theories sent to a footnote? (See diff)


 * Additional issues (added by other parties)
 * how much of the article section should be devoted to explain the origin of the war? How much of the article section ought to be non-economical?
 * what is mainstream and what is not? Is Gabriel Salazar fringe?
 * can a works published in 1963 be considered be referring and rebuking a scholarly source from the 2002?
