[edit] Request Information

Request made by: ++Lar: t/c 04:54, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
Where is the issue taking place?
Trentino-South Tyrol and other articles related to the geographical region.
Who's involved?
See the parties list.
What's going on?
There is a long running controversy about which names should be used for what. The region has changed hands, and there have been efforts within the region to cause names to be used differently. There have been several efforts to reach an amicable solution among the parties but they have failed. Background can be seen on Talk:Trentino-South_Tyrol, User_talk:Lar, and even on Commons in the admin noticeboard area, et. al. This area will be enhanced wiht more accurate pointers to information.
What would you like to change about that?
Lar volunteered to try to work with all parties to see if some soultion could be arrived at by consensus. He also offered to mandate a solution if all parties agreed to accept decision but that does not have consensus,so solution will be proposed and nothing more.
Would you prefer we work discreetly? If so, how can we reach you?
User_talk:Lar, or work pages of this mediation (preferred once set up)

[edit] Mediator response

MedCab note: The conflict here was agreed to be mediated by Lar before the case page was created. He's using this case page to record the mediation attempt ongoing elsewhere. If possible, please give this case unusually wide berth. Thanks. ~Kylu (u|t) 19:38, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
