[edit] Request Information

Request made by: MightyTev 14:11, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
Where is the issue taking place?
Big Brother (UK series 7)
Who's involved?
A number of different users - see the talk page
What's going on?
There's a discussion going on regarding what pronouns to use for a male-to-female crossdresser, and it doesn't look like a resolution will be reached. Any changes are quickly revoked.
What would you like to change about that?
I'd like a decision made and stuck to, I don't think that's gonna happen.
If you'd prefer we work discreetly, how can we reach you?
My talk page is fine
Would you be willing to be a mediator yourself, and accept a mediation assignment in a different case?
This is, following the Categorical Imperative, the idea that you might want to do
what you expect others to do. You don't have to, of course, that's why it's a question.
Yeah sure

[edit] Evidence

Please report evidence in this section with {{Wikipedia:Mediation_Cabal/Evidence}} for misconduct and {{Wikipedia:Mediation_Cabal/Evidence3RR}} for 3RR violations. If you need help ask a mediator or an advocate. Evidence is of limited use in mediation as the mediator has no authority. Providing some evidence may, however, be useful in making both sides act more civil.
Wikipedia:Etiquette: Although it's understandably difficult in a heated argument, if the other party is not as civil as you'd like them to be, make sure to be more civil than him or her, not less.

[edit] Compromise offers

This section is for listing and discussing compromise offers.
