Parties' agreement to mediation

 * 1) Agree. CartoonDiablo (talk) 23:07, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Decline. We've done the dispute resolution route numerous times  and the result is the same: CartoonDiablo dislikes the results and shops for a new forum.  Not seeing how this will be any different. Thargor Orlando (talk) 23:50, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
 * 3) Agree. Nbauman (talk) 00:27, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) I am NOT a party to this dispute. I have just been trying to help have a rational process in place, including using Wikipedia guidelines and processes.  My recollection of the history is not clear and thorough but the gist of it is as Thargor Orlando describes.   North8000  (talk) 03:16, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) Decline per Thargo Orlando. Also, since this merely involves excluding frivolous, contentious material rather than dealing with policy violating material currently present in an article, arbitration isn't required. The lack of consensus for adding it should be enough to settle the issue.  VictorD7 (talk) 08:40, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Decision of the Mediation Committee

 * Reject. Several parties do not agree with mediation. There would need to be agreement of the parties to mediate in good faith before we could proceed. For the Mediation Committee Sunray (talk) 08:29, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
