2. The5thForce raises no specific issue, and proposes no specific changes to the article. WP:NOTFORUM applies. Mediation is pointless, but if someone wants to offer a 3rd opinion, they can certainly do that. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 21:11, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

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 meet prerequisites for mediation numbers 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8, any one of which would be sufficient to reject the case. To challenge a closing decision, see here. For the Mediation Committee, TransporterMan (TALK) 23:19, 3 February 2016 (UTC) (Chairperson)
