Primary issues (added by the filing party)

Pride and supremacy articles

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, it's not a place to be censored and changed with bias, because some people disagree. I request that the admins come to an agreement on the rules, or at least agree that we treat these pages equally. The act of pride itself, is not racist. There is nothing wrong with being proud of your culture. However, Wikipedia users, such as EvergreenFir mark White pride as racist. The supremacy is racist, I will agree. And racist groups may claims white pride, but that doesn't make the sole act of pride racist. My issue mainly though, is that users claimthat Black Supremacy is not racist, and claims we need sources proving it it (despite the term 'supremacy' being racist in itself).Currently the source for white pride being racist is an editorial piece [Daily Dot] and marked as 'Opinion'.

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. No parties listed other than the listing party. Had there been other parties listed, however, to the extent this dispute involves the Black supremacy RFC it would have been refused under prerequisite to mediation #8 due to that RFC not yet being completed. If that is not essential to the case, feel free to refile but you must list all other editors involved in the dispute. For the Mediation Committee, TransporterMan (TALK) 18:21, 14 May 2016 (UTC) (Chairperson) And one more word: This is not the place to request anything of administrators, but the place to request mediation. If you wish to make a request of administrators, make a request at WP:AN or WP:ANI. - TransporterMan (TALK) 18:27, 14 May 2016 (UTC) And one more thing (sorry for the serial edit), even if I had not rejected this for one of the foregoing reasons, I very well might have rejected it for additional talk page discussion and/or processing at lower levels of dispute resolution such as WP:DRN under prerequisite for mediation #9. Whether sources are or are not reliable can often be worked out at Reliable sources noticeboard. — TransporterMan (TALK) 18:49, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
