Decision of the Mediation Committee

A member of the Mediation Committee will indicate acceptance/rejection/other relevant notes in this section. Non-Committee members should not edit this section.

Reject. Insufficient discussion and prior dispute resolution attempts have been made to justify adding this case to the backlog at the Committee at the present time. In the interests of resolving this dispute amicably and in the briefest possible time for the participants, I suggest obtaining the help of the Mediation Cabal; click here for more details and instructions on filing a case there. I make this decision on the grounds that you would be better suited to asking for resolution at the Mediation Cabal, given your dispute is relatively narrow in the scope of the issues; and that I believe the parties may benefit from the more informal nature of the Mediation Cabal, given the nature of this dispute.

6. Agree, again, subject to concerns on the talk page. As this is already being "discussed" (argued) on the talk page, I'm not sure what good formal mediation would do. Perhaps WP:3O might be a more appropriate venue. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 15:02, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

10. Agree. –Sarregouset (Talk) 20:04, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
11. Agree, but this has already been dealt with on the Hovind talk. If Ursasapien finds incorrect material, then it should be removed. If he wants to add positive material, he should. I think this post by Ursasapien: "atheistic POV pushers who feel they own this article," shows what is going on. C56C 17:35, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Decision of the Mediation Committee

A member of the Mediation Committee will indicate acceptance/rejection/other relevant notes in this section. Non-Committee members should not edit this section.

Reject, as i) not all parties agreed to mediation, and ii) a number of agreeing parties suggested that this mediation was slightly premature. This rejection is, as always, without prejudice.

This is UNACCEPTABLE in this forum. It isn't meant to be ONE admins "only if I like it" website. If this continues, the value of Wikipedia will be lessened to a great extent.

• Whether the Greek original of the "helic-" part of ther word "helicopter" was "helik-" or "elik-". The concensus of the evidence points to the 'h' being present. But Born2flie says that there was no 'h', because of one stray case when someone missed out the Greek rough breathing sign. I know Ancient Greek well and I have reference books about it.
