Issues to be mediated

 * Primary issues (added by the filing party)
 * 1) There are continuing disputes about to what extent and where to provide a qualitative description or a quantitative description, and about the amount of technical detail that is required in each part of the article.
 * 2) Other editors can provide a more detailed listing of the issues.


 * Additional issues (added by other parties)
 * To fill in some detail. A section on Simplified physical explanations of lift on an airfoil introduces two such. The subsection on Flow deflection and Newton's laws is the core of the dispute. At present it gives a quantitative statement which expresses the direct application of Newton's laws. This quantitative statement has been challenged as downright wrong, and it is being argued that it should be watered down to a qualitative description of the principle. It is this challenge that lies at the heart of the dispute and is preventing progress on other issues. (If I have given too much detail here, please let me know and I will cut it back) &mdash; Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 11:07, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

Decision of the Mediation Committee

 * Accept This case is accepted for mediation. I will now put out a call for a committee member (or perhaps a nominee for membership) to take the case, but if no volunteer appears within a week, the case will be retroactively rejected for lack of a mediator.
