What kinds of disputes are right for mediation?[edit]

There is only one type of dispute that the mediation committee can work with: User Disputes. Often, the dispute of over an article, such as the inclusion or removal of certain information from contentious or political articles. For the Mediation Committee to attempt mediation, there must be:

  • Two parties to the dispute
  • Agreeable points of contention
  • Agreeable mediator selection

These are open to interpretation; the two parties could be groups with the same mind set, for example.
