Other attempts at resolving this dispute that you have attempted

• C.Fred and Closeapple removed my contributions because I did not cite anything. My argument is that the vast majority of the article lacks citations. If my contributions can be removed, then every un-cited sentence, to preserve fairness to me, has to be removed from the article and from Wikipedia; or my contributions have to be permitted along with all the other un-cited content. This is basic egalitarianism I'm asking for.

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.

• Reject: Fails to satisfy prerequisite for mediation #4, "The parties must have first engaged in extensive discussion of the matter in dispute at the article talk page and discussion only through edit summaries will not suffice."
