Issues to be mediated

 * Primary issues (added by the filing party)
 * 1) The source to indicate the value for the Portuguese empire is wrong, and should be replaced with the actual value.
 * 2) The source used in most of the article is unreliable.
 * 3) The sources used to contradict the value given for the Portuguese empire are reliable.
 * 4) lack of historical knowledge on the empires of Portugal and Brazil, which leads to preformed ideas and prejudice towards Brazilian and Portuguese people


 * Additional issues (added by other parties)
 * Additional issue 1
 * Additional issue 2

Parties' agreement to mediation

 * 1) Agree. Ppteles (talk) 17:05, 12 September 2018 (UTC)
 * 2) Disagree for now. There is ongoing discussion on the talk page which I would describe as moving forward (albeit perhaps slowly), and I therefore consider this to be premature (see WP:RFM/G). Furthermore, there is an ongoing AfD, which I think makes use of this venue at this time inappropriate (through no fault of the the filing party, since the AfD was started after this request for mediation was filed). I would be willing to reconsider if the outcome of the AfD is that the page is kept and the discussion on the talk page stagnates. TompaDompa (talk) 12:48, 14 September 2018 (UTC)
 * 3) For the record, I am at a loss to understand the issue around the Ballon animal article since none of the parties have been involved in that article. Perhaps the filer could elaborate for future reference. Since none of us have edited this article, I will assume it is some mistake on the part of the filer, or an attempt at some humor. -- Work permit (talk) 02:35, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
