New Requests

New requests should be listed at the top of this section, right below this message. All requests must use the Template:Tl template. Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Guide provides an explaination for how to file a request; Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Sample shows the template with instructions. All parties to the mediation must indicate agreement to mediate by signing the "Parties' agreement to mediate" section; any request that has not been signed by all parties within 7 days will be rejected. A description of common reasons for rejecting requests is available at Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Common Reasons for Rejection.

Image:Info-icon.svgImportant note: Any request that fails to include all the information required by the Template:Tl format will be delisted immediately. Any request that includes additional information, particularly commentary, will have the additional information removed. Parties should adhere to the format strictly.

Other steps in dispute resolution that have been attempted:

• WP:AN Administrator's Noticeboard

AN is not a step in the dispute resolution process. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 16:18, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Issues to be mediated

• Fred Moss is a valid article that I created successfuly after another user had failed in its creation several times. I wrote the majority of the article, and provided plenty of sources to ensure its notability. Throughout this, JPS has twice attemtped to delete it, and we have got in many strops about an image, which I eventually relented on. Finally, Jeffrey O. Gustafson deleted the page as an attack page, when it clearly was not one. Throughout this I have had to fight tooth and nail for the article to remain, and have attempted to remain civil througout. I feel very victimised and am close to giving up on this. I have done nothing but act in good faith, and provide accuarte information.
• In addition, me and my user account, User:Gypsy Eyes have been called sockpuppets of an entirely seperate user, with the only evidence seeming to be an interest in similar articles. I have performed no vandalism, as my contributions demonstrate.

• • For the record, the page was deleted as CSD A7. The media files associated with it were deleted as CSD A6. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 16:22, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

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.

• Agree. 83.146.55.85 16:15, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
• Agree. MikeHobday 16:24, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

• Odd... the above user is not a party to the dispute, has not contributed to any of the deleted pages in question nor any of the associated talk pages. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 16:36, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

I labelled some of the user pages as sockpuppets so the second half of the complaint seems to be about me. However, happy not to be included. MikeHobday 16:40, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Decision of the Mediation Committee

• Accept/Reject/Extend:

For the Mediation Committee,

Natasha Demkina

Involved parties

Principal parties:

• {{{2|KeithTyler}}} (talk • contribs)
• {{{2|Askolnick}}} (talk • contribs)
• {{{2|Dreadlocke}}} (talk • contribs)
• {{{2|-Lumière}}} (talk • contribs) aka {{{2|Étincelle}}} (talk • contribs), {{{2|Lumiere}}} (talk • contribs)

To a lesser extent - I request that the requirement of these parties to consent to mediation be deemed optional as they are not actively part of the current dispute, though they have been previously involved and have been notified of RFM:

• {{{2|Julio Siqueira}}} (talk • contribs)
• {{{2|Tisthammerw}}} (talk • contribs)
• {{{2|Rohirok}}} (talk • contribs)
• {{{2|Mikkalai}}} (talk • contribs)
• {{{2|BillC}}} (talk • contribs)

Possibly valid parties - The following people have no other WP history and may not be familiar with the process or want to be seriously invovled; I did not notify them of RFM:

• {{{2|Brian Josephson}}} (talk • contribs)
• {{{2|SkepticReport}}} (talk • contribs)

Confirmation that all parties are aware of the request:

Article talk pages:

• Natasha Demkina [12]

User talk pages:

• User:KeithTyler: Submitter
• user:Askolnick: [13]
• user:Julio Siqueira: [14]
• user:Dreadlocke: [15]
• user:Étincelle: [16]
• user:Tisthammerw: [17]
• user:Rohirok: [18]
• user:Mikkalai: [19]
• user:BillC: [20]

I did not notify the "possibly valid parties" as I am not sure of their level of involvement, suitability as parties, or level of WP familiarity.

Other steps in dispute resolution that have been attempted:

• WP:RFC [21]
• WP:MEDCAB [22], [23] (combined, but material exists at both cases)

Issues to be mediated

• Is the current state of Natasha Demkina too heavily weighted towards Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal administered test?
• Do any of the sources added on [24] meet WP:RS or WP:V?
• When it proves to be very difficult to find sources meeting WP:RS or WP:V on a topic, is it acceptable to lessen the restrictions (under the principle of WP:IAR)?
• Can a personal website be a primary source for its own content; namely, the opinions of its author?
• Does the behaviour of any of the participants in this dispute towards the dispute or the other participants warrant a conduct RFC or other referral or redress?

Additional issues to be mediated

• Should Nobel Laureate Professor Josephson's web page relating to the Natasha Demkina investigation by CSICOP be regarded as a 'personal web site', or as an account of the conclusions of a professional research investigation? Is his critique a Reliable Source/Citable Reference for the article?"

Parties' agreement to mediate
