Issues to be mediated

edit
Primary issues (added by the filing party)
  1. Article states that Spirituals were formed of a blend of African and European music. Research disproves this theory as the plantation owners were extremely hostile to this music and in fact banned it.
Additional issues (added by other parties)
  • Additional issue 1
  • Additional issue 2

Decision of the Mediation Committee

edit
  • Reject. Primary reason is insufficient filing since no other parties are listed, but even if they had been listed the case would almost certainly have been rejected under prerequisite to mediation #9. Consider starting with Third Opinion first, then DRN if that doesn't work. For the Mediation Committee, TransporterMan (TALK) 19:57, 30 January 2018 (UTC) (Chairperson)[reply]
