Issues to be mediated

What is this dispute about? What sections, sentences, or issues in the article(s) can you not agree on? If you are the editor who opened this request, list these issues to be mediated under "Primary issues". If you did not open this request, you can add additional issues to be mediated under "Additional issues". The issues to be mediated would be properly agreed upon later, if this request for mediation is accepted.

Primary issues (This content was overwhelmingly rejected years ago through discussions among admins and editors. There is no need to rehash it again.)

1. Much discussion in 2012 about the Onion "incident." Consensus was that it was undue weight. Even after all these years Shelfpea and Neurtrality wantsto start to add content that was removed by agreement a long time ago.

Additional issues (added by other parties)

• Additional issue 1
• Additional issue 2

Decision of the Mediation Committee

This section should only be edited by a mediator. The Mediation Committee's representative will indicate in due course whether the request is accepted (meaning a mediator will be assigned) or rejected (meaning you will have to try a different type of dispute resolution). If the mediator asks you a question in this section, you may edit here.

• Reject. Fails to satisfy prerequisite to mediation #4, "The parties must have first engaged in extensive discussion of the matter in dispute at the article talk page and discussion only through edit summaries will not suffice". While there was discussion of the issue in the past, there has been no recent extensive discussion at the article's talk page (and none whatsoever by the filing party). Even if consensus was reached at that time, circumstances can change and consensus can change, so additional discussion is warranted before seeking dispute resolution.

There are no changes in circumstances. Shelfpea simply re-posted something from years ago that is trivial and judged to be so by several editors. I have responded to Shelfpea on Fleming's talk and responded to you on my talk.Tomuchtalk (talk) 22:40, 25 March 2017 (UTC)
