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.

• Recuse: Because I worked on this dispute at DRN back in Archive 10, I'm going to recuse myself with this comment: I do not believe that there has been any recent talk page discussion about any of these issues other than whether the ABA source is reliable and even that discussion is scant. That's a dispute that could well be settled through RSN or DRN and does not deserve the attention of this Committee. The other disputes need to have current thorough discussion at the article talk page before returning to dispute resolution. — TransporterMan (TALK) 14:34, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
