Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Nanking Massacre

[edit] Involved parties

• John Smith's (talk • contribs)
• HongQiGong (talk • contribs)
• Vsion (talk • contribs)

[edit] Articles involved

• Nanking Massacre

[edit] Other steps in dispute resolution that have been attempted:

• Talk page discussion and informal poll I requested a discussion on what tag people would prefer to use, but even though more people said "massacre" at the time, users refused to accept it.

[edit] Issues to be mediated

• Is it appropriate to use the "genocide" category tag for this article?
• If genocide is appropriate, why doees it need the "massacre" category tag as well?

[edit] Additional issues to be mediated

None

[edit] Parties' agreement to mediate

All parties should sign below, indicating that they agree to mediate the issue. If any party fails to sign, or if a party indicates they do not agree, then the mediation will be rejected. Only signatures and "agree" or "disagree" should appear here; any comments will be removed.

[edit] Decision of the Mediation Committee

• Accept: (excluding Vsion, who does not agree to mediation)

For the Mediation Committee, —Guanaco 03:41, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Closed; this case should not have been accepted, as all parties did not agree to mediate. Essjay (Talk) 01:45, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
