Encourage taking this case
Please forgive me if this is out of turn (I'll strike it), but I think this case is ideal for mediation. Some long-term productive editors are in a fuss over a question that, although it has some POV aspects to it, seems to me to be squarely a matter of sourcing, weight, how to construct a lead, and how to present notable sourced opinions. Nobody disputes that the content in question is accurate - it is simply a cited statement that certain people have certain opinions about the focus and significance of Barney Frank's career. The question is what to do with it: good enough for the lead or relegated to the article body? Or needs better sourcing? I also don't think the parties are far off. They've bridged 80% of their differences but need some help agreeing to the other 20%. Wikidemon (talk) 18:22, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Parties
I see the comment case opened, "waiting for parties". So I just wanted to note that I'm ready to party. Is there somewhere I'm supposed to sign on? Please advise. ChildofMidnight (talk) 17:50, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Premature closure
The parties have been butting heads. They need mediation. Lady of  Shalott  03:53, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
