Formal mediation has been requested

The Mediation Committee has received a request for formal mediation of the dispute relating to "John Fleming (American politician)". As an editor concerned in this dispute, you are invited to participate in the mediation. Mediation is a voluntary process which resolves a dispute over article content by facilitation, consensus-building, and compromise among the involved editors.

I did not post on talk because there was multiple points made over time and consensus was reached years ago. I think Shelfpea and Neutrality should respect that. There is absolutely no new facts related to this minor issue. Nonetheless, I have now responded to Shelfpea on Talk. I ask that you open mediation. I don't see how one or two late-comers can reverse what was agreed to by consensus.Tomuchtalk (talk) 22:29, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

There has been lengthy posts on talk by Shelfpea and myself. I was the last to post and that was yesterday. I think our discussion has covered everything and has really nothing to add to the conclusions reached years ago. Can you mediate now, or should I formally request again?
