- Additional issues (added by other parties)

Parties' agreement to mediation
[edit]- All parties please indicate below whether they agree to mediation of this dispute; remember to sign your post. Extended comments should be made on the talk page of this request.
- Agree. Tom Reedy (talk) 21:38, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
- Agree. Nishidani (talk) 12:44, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
- Agree. ScienceApologist (talk) 19:13, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
- Agree. Xover (talk) 18:34, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
- I do not oppose, but I am too busy to be involved. Verbal chat 21:31, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
- Agree. Smatprt (talk) 14:48, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
- Added myself. I have only participated in respect of Shakespeare's plays SamuelTheGhost (talk) 14:46, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
- Agree. Bertaut (talk) 23:49, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
- A note to mediators. Since Smatprt is topic-banned, and, almost simultaneously, I will be incommunicado on another continent (as I had said over a month ago before this complication arose), with no computer connections for at least three months, perhaps the remaining editors should drop a note as to their intentions, in order to clarify before the mediators what is to be done at this point.
