Shining Path

Articles involved

 * Shining Path

Other steps in dispute resolution that have been attempted:

 * This has literally been debated on Talk:Shining Path since at least June 2003. No real consensus has ever been reached, and the issue has come under fairly intense debate on that page for the past month and a half.  I don't think anything short of mediation will allow for a genuine consensus to be built.

Issues to be mediated

 * Whether the article should begin with the official name of the group in bold, which is the Communist Party of Peru, or whether it should begin with the name that most English speakers use when referring to it, which is Shining Path. Please note that this is not a dispute on where the article should be; everyone seems to pretty much agree that it should be at Shining Path.
 * Whether the article should link to sv:Perus kommunistiska parti or if it should link to sv:Den lysande stigen

Additional issues to be mediated

 * (referring to Descendall's first item) Descendall is already tilting the question to the answer he is looking for. This "issue" should read:
 * Whether the article should begin with the name this group wants to call itself in bold, which is the Communist Party of Peru, considering that there are several other Peruvian political groups that refer to themselves with the same name(see Communism in Peru), or whether it should begin with the name that most English speakers use when referring to it, which is Shining Path (English for "Sendero Luminoso"). Please note that this is not a dispute on where the article should be; everyone seems to pretty much agree that it should be at Shining Path.
 * (referring to Descendall's first item) This question is ALSO tilted in a way that let's Descendall get the answer he is looking for. It should read:''
 * Whether the article should link to sv:Den lysande stigen, the correct Swedish wikipedia page for the group, or if it should link to sv:Perus kommunistiska parti, a redirect page.''
 * Furthermore, SOMAN is also imposing his will in the Swedish Page, and reverting from Shining Path to Communist Party of Peru.--AAAAA 02:06, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Assuming this isn't a stale issue, I'd be willing to mediate this case. Please indicate whether you agree to me mediating below, as well as whether you would prefer public or private (email) mediation. If it's a stale issue, just say so. Thanks!

 * Barring any disagreement from the other parties, I'm certainly fine with you mediating the dispute. As I told you on your talk page, this issue is far from moot.  --Descendall 19:41, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Accept, and as I said above I don't care about public or private. - Jmabel | Talk 01:56, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
