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. Fails to satisfy prerequisite for mediation #4: "The parties must have first engaged in extensive discussion of the matter in dispute at the article talk page and discussion only through edit summaries will not suffice" (emphasis added). For the Mediation Committee, TransporterMan (TALK) 13:05, 21 April 2015 (UTC) (Chairperson)

Can I appeal this? I have extensively provided my reasons in support of my position. The "edit summaries" you cite were by the other two editors not me. I am tarred with the same brush. There was an unwillingness at compromise at the talk pages and I felt no other option but to seek mediation.DanJazzy (talk) 23:10, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
