Parties' agreement to mediate

 * 2) Agree. --Ilya1166 11:25, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Decision of the Mediation Committee
''A member of the Mediation Committee will indicate acceptance/rejection/other relevant notes in this section. Non-mediators should not edit this section.''
 * Reject. Insufficient discussion and prior dispute resolution attempts have been made to justify adding this case to the backlog at the Committee at the present time. In the interests of resolving this dispute amicably and in the briefest possible time for the participants, I suggest obtaining the help of the Mediation Cabal; click here for more details and instructions on filing a case there. I make this decision on the grounds that you would be better suited to asking for resolution at the Mediation Cabal, given your dispute is relatively narrow in the scope of the issues; and that I believe the two parties may benefit from the more informal nature of the Mediation Cabal, given the nature of this dispute.

 * We have called for polls on various topics. e.g.

 * Requests were made on each user's talk page to identify which issues they thought were the sticking point
 * Repeated requests have been made that parties refrain from editing, edit only portions, refrain from editing portions, or refrain from contradicting sources

Decision of the Mediation Committee
''A member of the Mediation Committee will indicate acceptance/rejection/other relevant notes in this section. Non-mediators should not edit this section.''
 * Request from the Mediation Committee: to those who haven't yet noted their agreement or disagreement above, please continue to do so if you wish to while discussion about this case and the current disagreement takes place on the Committee's private mailing list.
 * For the Mediation Committee,  Daniel  02:45, 10 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Reject. Having discussed this with the Committee on the private mailing list, both collected and received evidence and analysing it against our policies and procedures, we as a Committee have come to the consensus that this mediation request cannot be accepted on the basis that not all the disputants agree to mediation. Our fundamental, core pillar is voluntary mediation (which requires everyone to be part of, because the results of mediation aren't binding but rather must be accepted by all concerned), and having analysed the situation and the evidence presented to the Committee as a whole about whether the situations presented in points two and three applied, the general consensus have decided to not accept this request for mediation. Although remedial efforts were being made, it has now been two weeks since this request was filed, and two parties not asserting their agreement together with the evidence we had about this dispute and its' parties meant that I have decided to reject this request at this point in time.

 * 1) Agree. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Digwuren (talk • contribs) 00:59, July 20, 2007

Decision of the Mediation Committee
''A member of the Mediation Committee will indicate acceptance/rejection/other relevant notes in this section. Non-mediators should not edit this section.''
 * Please provide the requested details above, which you omitted (see also Requests for mediation/Guide to filing a Request for Mediation).  Daniel  01:48, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
 * The filing is incomplete. It was made as a compromise that also involves Requests for comment/Digwuren, and I've got to balance my time between these two.  Sorry for the inconvenience; I hope to complete the filing in a few days; the RFC is currently a priority. Digwuren 12:36, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Mediation does not work well in parallel with other dispute resolution avenues. Having editors trying to cooperate about content issues whilst they are critically analysing each other's conduct issues at an RfC, generally poisons the good-willed atmosphere that is required for successful mediation. I would suggest you choose between the RfM and RfC for the time being, and if everything hasn't sorted itself out by the end of either, try the other if required. I am pretty confident that you'd have a difficult job getting someone to mediate this case if both avenues of dispute resolution are running simultaneously.  Daniel  08:58, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I am just wondering why my name or even the name of Mikkalai are involved in this "mediation"! I was the admin who blocked Digwuren for tendentious editing especially at the mentioned article. So what is the purpose of this request? Medation between Digwuren and me? How and why? Please close this as per Daniel. -- FayssalF  - Wiki me up®  17:35, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Reject, parties listed do not agree to mediation, and per the above discussion regarding RfC/RfM's.
