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)

Looie496 removed my contribution to all three of the above talk pages.

The vast majority of the sentences and statements on all of the three talk pages have no citations. Why should I be the only one who has to follow this rule all of a sudden?

Looie496 wrote on my talk page [[8]] that discussing the topic is prohibited, yet that is exactly what he did on the page -- discussed the topic (See his contributions to the talk pages of "Imagination" and "Chinese Room").

The contributions from Looie496 to both those talk pages all lack citation.

If only a portion of a contribution violates a guideline, another user should not have the right to simply remove the entire contribution -- no one should have that right.

The user Randykitty wrote on my talk page that long contributions are, in her opinion, inappropriate. There is no permissible limit to contribution length, per contribution.

Additional issues (added by other parties)

• Additional issue 1
• Additional issue 2

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."
