Articles involved

edit

Other steps in dispute resolution that have been attempted

edit
  • Extensive discussion on the talk page has failed to reach a consensus, and, at times, has degenerated into heated argument. This is easily verifiable by skimming the page
  • The article is currently protected due to edit-warring over this issue.

Issues to be mediated

edit
The party filing this request uses this section to list the issues for mediation. Other parties can list additional issues in the section below.

Additional issues to be mediated

edit
Other parties can use this section to list any others issues they wish to include in the mediation. Please do not modify or remove any other party's listing. Please sign all additions to this section if there are more than two parties involved in this case.
  • What image caption should be used for the Zombietime image? Is image caption exempt from Wikipedia's requirements of reliable sources?
  • The same issues regarding this image on New antisemitism also apply to its use on Anti-globalization and antisemitism; the mediation should include its use on that article too, where it may also be inappropriate. csloat (talk) 20:31, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • What is the acceptable Wikipedia practice regarding images under dispute? When a image is under dispute by a significant number of people as this one is, I feel it should not be displayed until the dispute is resolved. Its current use on the page - in protected form no less - constitutes an implicit endorsement of its use and it effaces the fact that there is a substantive dispute. While this is normal in instances of disputes and edit warring, when the dispute enters mediation the image should be removed until the mediation has reached a conclusion. csloat (talk) 20:39, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Is the article excluded from Wikipedias rules about WP:OR and WP:SYN?

Decision of the Mediation Committee

edit
A member of the Mediation Committee will indicate acceptance/rejection/other relevant notes in this section. Non-Committee members should not edit this section.
Accept. There has been only one holdout (AnonMoos) and his/her recent statement on Jayjg's talk page does not amount to outright objection to mediation, but rather a feeling that s/he is hardly involved with the article and wants to take a wait-and-see approach.

Parties' agreement to Seddon

edit

Seddon (talk · contribs) has expressed an offer to take this case during his application to join the Mediation Committee, to assist the Committee both with our backlog and to assess his nomination. However, as Seddon is not a member of the Committee, it is a generally accepted practice that the parties must consent to a non-Committee member mediating a RfM. He has some very good experience from the mediation cabal, and has previously helped solve a number of disputes.

As such, can I ask that all parties to the mediation please list whether they "agree" or "disagree" to Seddon mediating below, in much the same format as the initial agreement above. Let me express my appologies for the length of time it has taken to find you a mediator.
