Requests for mediation is the second-last step in dispute resolution on Wikipedia. Requests for mediation is carried out by members of the Mediation Committee, and is a formal but voluntary process to assist individuals in developing a mutual agreement to resolve a dispute over content. Mediation does not provide binding resolution to disputes; mediators can not, do not, and will not issue rulings on disputes.
Before requesting formal mediation, parties should attempt informal resolution prior to filing; disputes that have not attempted informal resolution may be rejected by a member of the Mediation Committee with the direction to attempt informal resolution. Requests for mediation is the penultimate dispute resolution process, and as such prior dispute resolution must have been attempted.
The Mediation Committee considers requests to open new cases only where all parties to the dispute indicate willingness to take part in mediation; parties are given seven days from the time of the initial request to indicate their acceptance. Parties are expected to watchlist the case page and follow any developments; it is the responsibility of the parties to follow the progress of the mediation.
The Mediation Committee uses and enforces a strict format to all requests, which will be automatically created when the case page name is entered into the input box below. For a guide to filing a request for mediation, see this page. Preliminary acceptance of a case by the Mediation Committee is an indication that all the requirements for mediation have been met at that time, however cases are not assigned to mediators as they have the freedom to mediate cases at their discretion.

Articles involved
Other steps in dispute resolution that have been attempted
- The article is protected. I have contacted the protecting administrator, Khoikhoi (talk · contribs), and discussed the preceding dispute/developments, which is now the subject of my request. The Administrator recommended formal mediation (here), on my talk page. Particular characteristics of the case does really not encourage informal mediation.
Issues to be mediated
- The dispute is on whether the article should be brought back to its version of approximately a year ago (this is the version now protected) in lieu of the version dated 9 August 2008 (15.52), which has been gradually evolved since that version.
Mentioned users have during this time not taken part in the related editing and/or discussion. They have neither presented any argument in favor of the version they want nor any objection against the gradually developed version except for their firm statement that “there is no consensus”.
This has led to a revert war between myself on the one side and those users on the other side for about a week ending up in the protection.
At the time of the protection the article version dated 9 August 2008 (15.52) was in the process of editing and development through discussions between myself and another user Meowy (talk · contribs). The mentioned discussion is not the subject of the mediaton request at this time.
My wish is that the article is further discussed and developed in its natural course in line with wikipedia policies.
An outline of the dispute (revert war) is provided in my appeal to the protecting Administrator on the "About the Protect" section of talk page of the entry (here) as well as our subsequent correspondence with him/her on the "Hemshin peoples" section of my talk page (here).
Additional issues to be mediated
- 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.
- Additional issue 1
- Additional issue 2
Parties' agreement to mediate
- All parties should sign below, indicating that they agree to mediate the issue. If any party fails to sign, or if a party indicates they do not agree, then the mediation will be rejected. Only "Agree" or "Disagree" and signatures should appear here; any comments will be removed, but can be made at the talk page.
Decision of the Mediation Committee
- A member of the Mediation Committee will indicate acceptance/rejection/other relevant notes in this section. Non-Committee members should not edit this section.
- Request for Filing Party. The issues to be mediated listed need to be rephrased here. At present, the filing party has provided ″version X should be restored″ as the issue; what is instead required is an explanation of what particular elements of your version is disputed by the other parties in this case. I request the filing party rewrite the issues to be mediated to concisely explain the particulars of the issues which this Committee is requested to mediate. Anthøny 01:25, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
