• @Marcocapelle and Laurel Lodged: I'm not seeing other attempts at dispute resolution beyond the discussion on the article talk page (referred to above). I'm wondering why other forms of dispute resolution, such as third opinion, request for comment, request for subject-specific help or a request to a noticeboard haven't been attempted. For example, it seems to me that subject matter help might be useful. Would you be able to comment on this? Sunray (talk) 05:57, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
• I'm open to any way of dispute resolution by means of third-party-involvement. I was not aware of some of these alternative dispute resolution possibilities, and even less aware of a hierarchy between possibilities (if I understand correctly now, mediation is meant as a last resource), so thanks for your advice.

  • Yes, mediation is the final step for resolution of disputes over content. Would you be able to try one of the other mechanisms? Sunray (talk) 18:16, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
