Issues to be mediated[edit]

  • Are qualifiers such as "many" and "most" appropriate to use when a number of examples are sourced, or do they constitute an unacceptable use of weasel words?
  • Is the making of blanket statements such as "Jewish organizations oppose..." appropriate when only the positions of some such organizations are sourced, should each individual organization be named, or should a qualifier such as "several", "many", or "most" be used?
  • Is it appropriate to make statements which present the majority side of a debate as correct when the opposing side is clearly a very small minority, on a page devoted to the minority group?

Decision of the Mediation Committee[edit]

Accepted, hoping that mediation will not stall out this time.

For the Mediation Committee, ^demon[omg plz] 16:29, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Pending my current Mediation Committee nomination, I am willing to mediate this case on behalf of the Med Com. My style of mediation will be identical to that I operate on my Med Cabal (and AMA) cases. Awaiting the decision of a member of the committee, Anthonycfc [TC] 20:14, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
This cases has been approved by User:Danielrocks123 (a current Mediation Committee member) to be mediated by a trial committee member. (source). Anthonycfc [TC] 03:09, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]


  • I'll take it. This has been on the books for a while. -Ste|vertigo 22:27, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Double-mediator case: User:Anthony cfc and User:Stevertigo as of 13/1/07.
    • I do not accept Stevertigo as a mediator, only User:Anthony cfc. Stevertigo has been involved in many disputes with me, and it was entirely inappropriate that he volunteer for this in the first place. Jayjg (talk) 02:27, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I am only in the back seat on this one, and will read things over occasionally as things progress. This is Anthony's case. I have been involved in several disputes with you Jayjg because you sometimes write in a way which is not clearly neutral. May I ask why you think my volunteering was inappropriate? -Ste|vertigo 05:03, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Please let us not argue; Stevertigo has stated he is taking a backseat. I trust you are happy with this Jayjg? Hoping for peace, Anthonycfc [TC] 00:29, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Fine. Jayjg (talk) 01:11, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your co-operation; it is much appreciated, and is by far the most efficient format of achieving a successful mediation to the dispute we are focusing on - rather than having to solve additional disputes. Once again, thank you for your co-operation - I respect and thank you for it. Regards, Anthonycfc [TC] 22:01, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
