Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Statistics
In order to evaluate any discernable trends in the Requests for mediation and other Committee process, I am keeping a record of all requests filed with the Mediation Committee (including their date, the action taken by the MedCom, and, in the case of rejected requests, why the request was declined) and also of nominations submitted to the Committee. I am only recording requests actioned since I began handling the Committee's administrative duties, in early April 2010; earlier requests are not presently recorded here. This page was last updated on 24 June 2011.
