Issues to be mediated

Please place a neutral statement of issues you believe need to be mediated here.

Process of mediation

The mediation will take part in four parts:

• Agreement: All parties involved will indicate agreement or disagreement to participation. If any party disagrees, mediation will not proceed.
• Facts and principles: Each party and the mediator will have the opportunity to place for discussion what they believe to be facts and principles that can already be agreed upon by all sides. If all parties agree, the fact or principle will be considered agreed to for the remaining discussion.
• Finding sources: Each party will present all sources which (s)he believes should be included in the article. After all sources have been presented, the parties will discuss the appropriateness and reliability of each source found.
• Suggested edits: Each party will have the opportunity to suggest edits which integrate the found source material into the final article. These edits will be discussed by all parties. If consensus can be reached, the edits will be implemented to the article.

While some suggestions and source material may be appropriate to more than one article, each discussion will take place according to a single article. As multiple articles are involved, separate discussions will run simultaneously for each individual article. If a source or suggestion may apply to more than one article, crossposting is welcome.

Everyone involved is expected to be civil during the mediation process. Uncivil comments may be removed or refactored by the mediator. It is also requested that involved parties refrain from editing the articles in question during mediation, except to deal with blatant vandalism.

Proposals for agreement

In this stage, please indicate proposals of principle or fact which you believe all sides can already agree on, under a heading such as the one below. I've started off with some proposals. Each party should indicate agreement or disagreement with each proposal, if disagreed, it would be very helpful to explain why you disagree.

Proposals by Seraphimblade

• As with all articles on Wikipedia, the articles in question should be written with a neutral viewpoint, and should not serve as either a whitewash or an attack piece. Both positive and negative information should be presented in a neutral tone and without undue weight.

Agree

Disagree

• All information in these articles should be attributed to reliable sources, and should not be the work of an editor's personal knowledge or synthesis of information.

Agree

Disagree

• Primary sources should be used with great caution, and should not be used at all if it is unduly self-serving or negative. If primary sources are used, only purely descriptive claims should be made from them.

Agree

Disagree

• Sources with a clear bias should be handled with the same caution as primary sources, and should not be used as the sole source of very positive or negative content.

Agree
