Issues to be mediated
[edit]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 case talk page.
- Primary issues
- The only point currently in dispute (that I am aware of) is the current image in the Infobox--as to whether or not it is an appropriate image to represent the article. Please note that this is not a religiously motivated request (although there are dozens of those in the talk page archives), but a question about this specific image, its providence, and whether or not it meets the requirements in WP:IMAGE RELEVANCE. My proposal is to remove the image (I am unaware of any replacement image which meets policy, but would be open to considering one), while Brough87 wishes to retain the current image.
- Note:The only person I have listed as a party to this dispute besides myself is the person currently reverting my edits on the article (User:Brough87). Other users have been involved in this discussion in the past, but none recently. I have not added others as parties, in part because I don't want the mediation to be rejected simply because I mistakenly chose to notify editors who are no longer interested in teh page, and in part because I don't want to appear that I'm choosing specific partisans. I will follow any suggestions from MedCom as to whether or not other parties should be invited.
- It just occurred to me that notifying the talk page of the article should be safe (neutral per WP:CANVAS), so I have done so. Qwyrxian (talk) 15:45, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
