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. Multiple reasons. First, no primary issues are listed. Second, the issue given in the heading is a conduct issue, not a content issue, and the Committee does not mediate conduct issues. Third, to the extent that there is a content issue here, this would appear to be a case in which a lower form of dispute resolution, such as Dispute Resolution Noticeboard or additional talk page discussion would first be useful before coming here.
