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. Rizalninoynapoleon (talk) 12:22, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
2. Neither agree nor disagree. A request for mediation seems premature and far too extreme: there has been no real discussion at the talk page yet and other avenues of dispute resolution (namely third opinion, dispute resolution and request for comment) have not been exhausted, which is – if I understand correctly – a prerequisite to file a case. I think it would be best to let the talk page discussion run its course. As the article has fewer than 30 watchers this may take some time. --Coco Lacoste (talk) 05:16, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

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.

• Given the lack of whole hearted agreement to mediate, I think we should reject this case for the meanwhile. If another request is filed, and the issues are still unresolved, then we could open mediation. PhilKnight (talk) 02:01, 14 December 2013 (UTC)

Rejecting request, per Phil's reasoning. For the Mediation Committee, AGK [•] 09:30, 14 December 2013 (UTC)
