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. Is the term "After their surrender" correct? (i.e. murdered after their surrender)
2. The first sentence should include important facts ( who attacked, where was it) and possibly exclude less important information (the date relatively to the independence declaration).
3. note that it is not a forum shopping. The wp:drn volunteer appeared once only. The DRN has not advanced and was was archived.

Additional issues (added by other parties)

• Additional issue 1
• Additional issue 2

1. Agree. Ykantor (talk) 15:09, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
2. Decline. There are several editors who have discussed the points Ykantor raises, on the relevant talk page. He has a bad habit of forum shopping and, on each occasion, singling out a single editor, so his disagreement with a single editor can be mediated, in order to get some compromise or solution to be imposed on the page, without other editors who work it intervening. I have exhausted my patience with this waste of time. Nishidani (talk) 15:47, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

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.

• In light of one (of only two) involved party's decision not to participate in mediation, I recommend to the chair that this request be denied. — TransporterMan (TALK) 18:04, 10 October 2013 (UTC) (Committee member)
