Issues to be mediated

 * Primary issues (added by the filing party)
 * 1) Article states that Spirituals were formed of a blend of African and European music. Research disproves this theory as the plantation owners were extremely hostile to this music and in fact banned it.

 * Additional issue 1
 * Additional issue 2

Parties' agreement to mediation

 * 1) Agree. DanJazzy (talk) 09:43, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

Decision of the Mediation Committee

 * Reject. Primary reason is insufficient filing since no other parties are listed, but even if they had been listed the case would almost certainly have been rejected under prerequisite to mediation #9. Consider starting with Third Opinion first, then DRN if that doesn't work. For the Mediation Committee, TransporterMan  ( TALK ) 19:57, 30 January 2018 (UTC) (Chairperson)
