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 (added by the filing party)

1. Whether the quote from Mr. Ian McFarlane in the Lead is accurate or false, and whether that quote introduces an inappropriate tone or not.
2. Whether said quote should be removed from the article.

Additional issues (added by other parties)

1. Whether the quote by McFarlane, currently in the Lead, could also be used in the body of the text, i.e. in the 'History' section. This is so that the Lead can act as a good summary of the rest of the article.
2. Whether another set of quotes in the Lead, by Kimball et al, should be summarised more concisely and clearly. A suggested summary is at the article's talkpage.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 13:22, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
