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)

1. User Yamla keeps reverting the edit to the launch date of Air India Express service to Tehran and brands anyone who attempts to do so as "vandals". The citation provided is the holy grail of route updates and virtually all Aviation articles have citations to this website. The launch of Air India Express to Tehran has been delayed from 1 March 2017 to 26 March 2017 (http://www.routesonline.com/news/38/airlineroute/271136/air-india-express-revises-tehran-launch-to-late-march-2017) and this change needs to be reflected on Tehran IKA's article. Unfortunately Yamla is irrationally blocking attempts by many users to enforce this change. This needs to stop now.

Additional issues (added by other parties)

• Blocked editors don't get to edit, period. What User:Theeasytarget needs to do is request unblock from their original account (using WP:UTRS as I revoked their TPA after this threat), and not make good on the threat by using a flood of socks. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 12:27, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

  After a little more thought, I've blocked this obvious sock. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 12:31, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

Parties' agreement to mediation

If you are a named party, please sign below and indicate whether you agree or refuse to participate in mediation. Remember that all editors are obliged to resolve disputes about content through discussion, mediation, or other similar means. If you do not wish to participate in mediation, you must arrange another form of dispute resolution. Comments and questions should be made underneath the numbered list below, to avoid confusion.

1. Agree. Serentupitty1980 (talk) 09:44, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
2. Disagree. The user requesting mediation is the blocked vandal, Theeasytarget (talk · contribs). They were blocked by MilborneOne (talk · contribs) initially, then had talk page access revoked by Boing! said Zebedee (talk · contribs). Until that block is lifted, I believe they are not eligible to engage in this action. Indeed, this is an example of their threat to disrupt the encyclopedia. --Yamla (talk) 12:07, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
