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) reply

• 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.
