[edit] Articles involved

• Morocco

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

• RfC made on Politics, discussion started and continued at length.
• Informal mediation carried on at talk, with no resolution between the parties. Editor suggested seeking mediation.

[edit] Issues to be mediated

• Should the map at the article Morocco include Western Sahara?
  • If so, in which way should this be depicted?

• Comment - I don't know why i was invited to mediate on an issue which was sorted out by a double concensus ( current revision reached concensus twice - see 1st and and 2nd time within 4 months) declared by the majority of the wikipedians listed above! All i know is that the claiming part-Justin (koavf) who hasn't agreed yet that there was a concensus is the one to go file a report at the ArbCom. I mean mediation about what? -- Szvest 22:07, 16 October 2006 (UTC) ^{Wiki me up ®}

• The topic of the mediation has been agreed by consensus.
• This mediation clearly goes against it
• In my eyes it is non relevant
• More importantly there is a much broader request from Jalil, myself and surely other people and which I hope I will formalise any time soon: clean out the Western Sahara related topics from all the POVs and propaganda and balance the information.

[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.

• Agree.
