Issues to be mediated

Possible misquoting of sources.
There are a few WP:RS which make the claim this group is a cult. How much airtime and space is in accord with these allegations given their small number per WP:NPOV, in particular WP:UNDUE.
How often can one source be used? There is one "anti-cult" report cited numerous times in the article. Sethie wold like to see a limit to how many times one source can be used given that most of it's claims are not substantiated elsewhere. Does this qualify as WP:UNDUE?

Additional issues to be mediated

Parties' agreement to mediate

All parties should sign below, indicating that they agree to mediate the issue. If any party fails to sign, or if a party indicates they do not agree, then the mediation will be rejected. Only "agree" or "disagree" and signatures should appear here; any comments will be removed.

Parties' agreement to Vassyana's offer

Vassyana (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA), an experienced administrator and mediator, has accepted an offer to take this case to help out the Mediation Committee with their backlog. Vassyana is one of the co-ordinators of the Mediation Cabal, and has vast experience in mediation. However, as Vassyana is not a member of the Committee at the moment (personally, I'd love him to nominate himself, but that's for another day...), it is a generally accepted practice that the parties must consent to a non-Committee member mediating a RfM.

As such, can I ask that all parties to the mediation please list whether they "agree" or "disagree" to Vassyana mediating below, in much the same format as the initial agreement above. Voting will last seven days, from June 12 (ie. closes on June 19).

Please note that if consent isn't given by all parties above within seven days, then you will have to wait for a Committee mediator, which could take a fair while at the present rate. On all accounts, I encourage you to take Vassyana's offer, however the choice is, of course, yours.
