Issues to be mediated

 * Primary issues (added by the filing party)
 * 1) I highly appreciate my opposition's various editing input. However, should there be runtime columns to quantitatively document censorship, given the June 1 notice from SAPPRFT that bans all other runtimes not approved by the institute, regardless whether a tiny subset of films had been cut by local distributors for commercial decision? I was not performing semantic gymnastics to arrive at the conclusion. This is not original research anymore. This is like attributable to a reliable, published source, even if not actually attributed. I can't explain it well. But I beg IAR to come in place.

Parties' agreement to mediation

 * 1) Agree. Supermann (talk) 16:29, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
 * 2) Disagree. The RfC is still ongoing, it has been open for only a couple of days, and I refuse to submit to any formal mediation while the RfC remains open. Additionally, due to the fact that others have commented at the RfC, I do not believe the above party list is complete. The matter of whether or not films not edited by a state body but affected by the June notice has yet to be rigorously discussed, and so is not appropriate for mediation at this venue, though there appears to be some manner of attempt at discussing it at the still open RfC. Personally, perhaps after the RfC is closed or if I feel pushed to do so by Supermann, I'd rather discuss this at a venue in which editor behavior can be assessed, such as ANI, as it is my opinion that this has gone well past a content dispute and is rather becoming much more a concern over Supermann's editing practices and behavior, and such concerns have been brought up by others than myself. ~Cheers, Ten  Ton  Parasol  18:39, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
