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

[edit] Issues to be mediated

  • Should the main article about Wellesley College contain a reference to the college shuttle bus as "the fuck truck".

[edit] Additional issues to be mediated

  • Is the college shuttle bus itself notable enough to warrant its own article?

[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. Melmoththewanderer 22:27, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

: I Agree to mediate the issue of including "Fuck Truck" on the Wellesley page. I do not agree to debating the issue of whether the Wellesley College Senate Bus article should exist in this forum, however; that article has already survived multiple deletion debates and it is unclear why this issue should be repoened in the mediation context.

As noted below, I am opting out of mediation, as I have decided this debate over a minor detail has gone on too long and gotten a tad silly for my taste. I agree not to revert Melmoththewanderer's changes to the wellesley college article any longer. Interestingstuffadder 02:39, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Decision of the Mediation Committee

Accepted to address the issue of the shuttle; the question of whether the article should be included in the encyclopedia is outside the perview of the Mediation Committee and must be decided through the established Wikipedia procedure, vis-a-vis AFD.

I will take this case, provided you are both willing. ^demon[omg plz] 16:48, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

i'm willing. Melmoththewanderer 02:11, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

As am I. Interestingstuffadder 15:10, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

All right. Since you've both agreed, I must ask you. Would you prefer private mediation via e-mail or public mediation through the talk page? ^demon[omg plz] 07:34, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

either way is fine with me. we already tried informal mediation and it's all there on the talk pages. the issues are still exactly the same. Melmoththewanderer 20:52, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

the talk page should be fine. Interestingstuffadder 21:47, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

I have changed my mind. I am unwilling to submit this to arbitration, as I have agreed on Melmoththewanderer's user talk to no longer edit the wellesley college article. Interestingstuffadder 02:37, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
