Primary issues (added by the filing party)

1. Please review the removal of material from the previous edit. In my view the information removed by the other is both useful and necessary and comes from the actual movie. I simply wish to have "another pair of eyes" rather than engage in an Edit War with another who will not Talk about the issues. Whether all of the information, some of the information, or none of the information is retained I leave up to the Mediators.

_______

1. [Added after Request and AFTER Re-Review of Edits] Mass removal of material can result in both of the removal of "good stuff" with "bad stuff." Some of the material in dispute I NOW CONCEDE is "bad stuff" in that after about a year there remains no citation for claims such as, specifically, Sir Ben Kingsley stating he based Don Logan on his grandmother.

These I removed since I do NOT wish to waste the time of Mediators thinking I am advocating for those unsourced and/or irrelevant material. If someone finds proper citation for them, I suppose someone can add some of them later. Apologies, again, for any confusion.

That being written I will NOT edit the article further pending the Mediation Decision. TheDoctorX (talk) 08:26, 21 February 2018 (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.

• Reject. Fails to satisfy prerequisite to 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". See DISCFAIL. For the Mediation Committee, TransporterMan (TALK) 17:15, 21 February 2018 (UTC) (Chairperson)
