The issues to be mediated would be properly agreed upon later, if this request for mediation is accepted.

Primary issues (added by the filing party)

1. Manuchansu controversially renamed the article "Àngel Guimerà" to "Ángel Guimerá" without prior discussion. He cannot feign ignorance of the potential controversy because A) he has been involved in similar disputes on other Wikipedias, and B) he has continued to rename the article after other users objected here and on other Wikipedias.
2. Wikipedia:Article titles clearly states: "Any potentially controversial proposal to change a title should be advertised at Wikipedia:Requested moves, and consensus reached before any change is made" (emphasis mine).
3. I therefore reverted the controversial move in accordance with Wikipedia:Requested_moves#Undiscussed_moves, reminded Manuchansu of what the rules say, and urged him to seek a consensus for the controversial move before carrying it out (as required by Wikipedia guidelines).
4. Despite this, Manuchansu repeated the controversial move several times as well as engaging in similar disruptive edits in the body of the article. He also falsely implied that I am a paid editor and launched personal attacks against me when I asked him to follow the rules.
5. Although I am sceptical of the move, I remain willing to discuss it in good faith with Manuchansu and any other interested users, but it is crucial that the rules are enforced and that no controversial moves are carried out until the necessary consensus has been reached. The same applies to the body of the article, and I suggest going back to the version of 14 June (the last one before either Manuchansu or I touched this article) as a starting point for the discussion.
