The Requests for mediation process is used to request formal mediation of a dispute. Formal mediation is provided by the Mediation Committee as a final stage of the content-dispute resolution process. Formal mediation is only suitable for disputes over article content, so requests to mediate grievances with other editors will not be accepted.

Formal mediation is governed by the Mediation Committee's policy at Wikipedia:Mediation Committee/Policy, and so requests for mediation must satisfy the preconditions provided for by that policy.

To file a request for mediation, please skip to #File a request.

For a guide to filing a request for mediation, see Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Guide.

[edit] File a request

Before filing

Read Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Guide
Read Wikipedia:Mediation Committee/Policy#Preconditions; the dispute must meet all those preconditions

To file a request

Shortcut: WP:RFM/G/P

The procedure for requesting formal mediation of a dispute is as follows:

Open Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/File in a new tab and follow the initial instructions on that page;
Beneath "Users involved in dispute" (in section 1), add, using the {{user}} template, the username of every editor involved in the dispute;
Immediately below, at Articles concerned in this dispute, add a link to every article (or page) concerned in the dispute;
Immediately below again, at Other steps of dispute resolution, link to all prior attempts at dispute resolution (such as article talk page discussions, RFCs, or previous formal and informal mediation cases);
Under Primary issues (in section 2), concisely explain what content of the articles has in dispute, and what variations of this content have been proposed;
Please change nothing else. Now save the page.

MediationBot will then list your case at Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Pending and notify the parties you listed to the dispute that the request has been filed.

After filing

The instructions that appear at the top of the page when filing a request are the same as in the box above, and are viewable here.
Check that MediationBot has added the request to Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Pending; it may take up to an hour to do this. MediationBot will also notify all the listed parties to the dispute that the request has been filed (or message the Committee if this is not possible). If either of these steps are not completed promptly, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Mediation Committee.
Add the case page to your watchlist, because members of the Mediation Committee may put queries to the parties or submit further suggestions whilst the request for mediation is being considered.

[edit] Pending requests

New requests are listed in this section automatically by MediationBot.

Please don't list your case by hand; instead use Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/File. (Even trivial changes to this page are liable to break the case management bot.)

Nambudripad Allergy Elimination Technique

I'm confused. Why are two non-existent articles listed here? Famousdog (talk) 11:51, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

Other steps of dispute resolution that have been attempted

To the best of my knowledge, other avenues of dispute resolution have not been tried before this mediation request. DR has not been followed in a proper manner. -- Brangifer (talk) 07:27, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Issues to be mediated

All aspects of article content over which there is disagreement should be listed here. The filing party should define the scope under "Primary issues", which is used to frame the case; other parties to the dispute can list other issues under "Additional issues", and can contest the primary issues on the case talk page.

Primary issues

Previous versions of the edits for this page have had an incredibly large amount of bias towards these articles and do not allow the data from the studies to even be presented. I feel it is of vital importance for the future research in medicine, especially with autism, to be given some details regarding this study. However, Famousdog keeps changing my edits to delete any detail for the study and only make a negative and biased remark and interpretation of the study. It should not be a biased interpretation but simply stating the facts that needs to occur here.Certifiedallergist (talk) 22:30, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
Also there is a French article that is listed in medline and pubmed.gov by Savornin S which has stated that NAET may be useful when treating allergies. That is the simple conclusion of the article but this reference keeps getting taken off from the article unfairly. Instead, unofficial and non-medline sources such as Stephen Barrett keeps getting cited. It is ludicrous and outrageously non-scientific and biased!Certifiedallergist (talk) 22:30, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Additional issues (added by other parties)

We've got a serious problem with several newbie WP:SPAs flooding the article and making edits that aren't up to par with our policies. They also edit war without any respect for WP:BRD or WP:MEDRS. These editors include people from Nambudripad's institute, so they have severe COIs. The socking needs to stop and the article needs to be stabilized, possibly by protection. An SPI should probably be started, but I don't have the time. -- Brangifer (talk) 04:21, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

The sock puppet investigation has just been closed, and one of Certifiedallergist's socks has been blocked. (Look in this drawer and this drawer for dirty socks.) I don't know why Certifiedallergist (CA) hasn't also been blocked, since they used very deliberate deception (referring to their socks in third person) to give the impression of several editors making comments and edits. This SPI has taken attention away from the article to some degree, but CA has continued to demand the inclusion of one extremely poor piece of "research" performed by a Nambudripad team, IOW COI, primary source, junk science that violates MEDRS in every conceivable way. No matter how many times we've explained MEDRS, CA still comes back and presses for inclusion. Well, until MEDRS is changed, it's not going to happen! -- Brangifer (talk) 07:24, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Parties' agreement to mediation

All parties please indicate below whether they agree to mediation of this dispute; remember to sign your post. Extended comments should be made on the case talk page. Every party listed above will be automatically notified that this request has been filed.

Agree. Certifiedallergist (talk) 22:20, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
Agree. Famousdog (talk) 11:39, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Decision of the Mediation Committee

A member of the Mediation Committee will indicate whether this request is to be accepted or rejected. Notes concerning the request and questions to the parties may also be posed by a committee member in this section.

Clarification - the articles you have cited do not seem to exist and I checked their deletion history, they weren't deleted. Are you certain the links are right for the articles in question? --WGFinley (talk) 23:24, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
- I think the case filer meant to link to Nambudripad Allergy Elimination Technique. Looking at his previous edits, that appears to be the site of the dispute. Lord Roem (talk) 00:46, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
  - I apologize for that mistake. Yes the link in dispute is Nambudripad Allergy Elimination Technique. There are two forms of edits that have been done on that and if you look at the history I am in conflict with Famousdog over that article. Certifiedallergist (talk) 05:01, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

Question - you left other attempts at dispute resolution as blank. Has there been anything done to resolve the dispute other than discussion on the talk page? WP:RSN or WP:RFC perhaps? Please respond in your own sections and not this one, this is for committee member use only. For the committee, WGFinley (talk) 06:28, 7 February 2012 (UTC).
