*Thorough discussion [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Ilya1166]

===Issues to be mediated===
*Inclusion of photos in the article with wrong captions. Should or should they not have an explanatory caption where readers would find further information on the location of the photo. (Oil well photo taken in Texas and Swan lake in Austria)
*Replacing older photos with new ones from Wikimedia Commons
*Size and shape of photos and their influence on overall article look
*Should the edits to article regarding Russia be restricted to Russians only
*Is the replacement of photos with new ones that correspond to the article equally well as the previous ones a dynamic article enhancement or a vandalism case

===Additional issues to be mediated===
*Relevance of [[Nilov monastery]] compared to [[Troitse-Sergiyeva Lavra]]
*Relevance of Kazan Cathedral compared to Cathedral of Christ the Saviour

===Parties' agreement to mediate===

:'''Reject'''. Insufficient discussion and [[WP:DR|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 '''[[WP:MEDCAB|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.

''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 [[WP:ML|mailing list]].

:'''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 [[WP:M#Why_should_mediation_be_confidential.3F|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.

:::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.

===Parties' agreement to mediate===

===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''': Please provide evidence of prior dispute resolution attempts in the appropriate section above, as an RfM is the final step in content dispute resolution (and there are other stages that most cases must progress through unsuccessfully first before we accept a case).

:'''Reject'''. Insufficient discussion and [[WP:DR|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 '''[[WP:MEDCAB|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.
