Issues to be mediated

What is this dispute about? What sections, sentences, or issues in the article(s) can you not agree on? If you are the editor who opened this request, list these issues to be mediated under "Primary issues". If you did not open this request, you can add additional issues to be mediated under "Additional issues". The issues to be mediated would be properly agreed upon later, if this request for mediation is accepted.

Primary issues (added by the filing party)

1. An editor insists on classifying software as "unidirectional file sync", whereby it's a backup software. This is both stated on the vendor's site and based on a common technical sense of what the software does and how backup is defined in the first place. Furthermore an attempt to demonstrate that this is essentially a made-up category by providing a link to a Google query was dismissed by the editor with a "Your Google search link is deliberately engineered in way a that is guaranteed to fail" remark, which is factually incorrect, followed by a reference to "enlightening clues about one-way sync" in 13 search results that a counter-suggested query produces. Additional specific points were also dismissed with "As for the rest I've already said enough. Feel free to re-read them." remark.
   
   
2. An editor insists on taking out "deliberately" from a sentence stating that the vendor doesn't support certain features. Vendor's website lists these features unsupported as an explicit decision, a distinction not relayed by over-simplified wording. Again, all arguments against this edit are ignored or dismissed without any meaningful discussion.

The dispute was not originated by me. I joined the discussion because I wrote the first version of the stub.

In terms of resolution:

1. Change software category back to Backup software.
2. Add back "deliberately" to the last sentence on the page.

Decision of the Mediation Committee

This section should only be edited by a mediator. The Mediation Committee's representative will indicate in due course whether the request is accepted (meaning a mediator will be assigned) or rejected (meaning you will have to try a different type of dispute resolution). If the mediator asks you a question in this section, you may edit here.

• Reject. Rejected under prerequisite to mediation #9, under which "the Committee has the discretion to refuse or refer back to other dispute resolution venues (e.g. dispute resolution noticeboard, third opinion, request for comment, or additional talk page discussion) a dispute which would benefit from additional work at lower levels of the dispute resolution process."
