This is not true. All I did was initiate the mediation
by suggesting that Brian help with it as he had been
the one to list it on [[Wikipedia:Current disputes
over articles]]. I was not involved in the mediation
myself. Your suggestion that my mind was already made
up is also untrue as I've not even read the article
and therefore have no view on it.

Not necessarily the loudest, but there have certainly
been suggestions in the past that whoever shouts the
longest will win. The problem is we have no policies
for dealing with people who continue to do this.

Angela.
