"==Mediation== 

 Hello, I was asked by one of the participants of the current discussion to give a hand some days ago. I was unfortunately away and could not easily access Wikipedia. I see there were no comments in the past 3 days... but we can't leave the page protected for weeks now -) 

 Can each party shortly identify each point on which he wishes a modification in the current article ? We could try to take them one by one ? Anthere. 

 : Hello,  
 * In the ""Culture"" section, there is no information about culture in Moroccan controlled WS.  
 * There are no links to pro-moroccan web pages, maybe we can add a link to a moroccan governmental web page like this one http://www.mincom.gov.ma/english/reg_cit/regions/sahara/sahara.html 
 * There are so much pro-polisario links, maybe 2 or 3 are sufficient for readers to make their minds. 
 * The following sentences aren’t neutral or need reformulation or some evidence: 
 # Both sides blame each other for the stalling of the referendum, but it is obvious that Morocco, as the current de facto power in much of the territory, stood only to lose. 
 # although initially spawned from a Moroccan proposal and exhibiting a stark pro-Moroccan bias in comparison to the agreed-upon 1991 plan 
 # His resignation followed several months of failed attempts to get Morocco to at least enter into formal negotiations on the plan, but he met with complete rejection. 
 # After that, it quickly garnered widespread international support, culminating in the UN Security Council's unanimous endorsement of the plan in the summer of 2003. ==>Give me evidence 
 # The new king, Mohammed VI of Morocco, opposes the concept of a referendum on independence, and has said Morocco will never agree to one. ==> Give me evidence 
 # Morocco, resistant to the UN process'' 
 Peace   

  
 :Hi, 
 #  About Morocco's attitude to the referendum, I can't see the controversy. This is factual. One side (Polisario) has consistently demanded that the referendum be implemented, the other (Morocco) has consistently demanded changes in the rules, new voter criterion, delays, etc, etc, until recently changing its stand and proclaiming that it would never agree to a referendum where inpendence was an option. This is stated, written-down, spoken-out Moroccan policy, and you can find it for example in the Moroccan reply to the UN on the Baker plan. 
 #  That the Baker plan was pro-Moroccan compared to the 1991 plan is clear to anyone who reads it. Its the same old plan but with Morocco's suggestions added (3 way ballot, settler's can vote, autonomy first, policing rights during referendum, etc). This is not to say it is intrinsically pro-Moroccan (since a really pro-Moroccan position wouldn't challenge Rabat's sovereignty at all), but ""in comparison with the 1991 plan"" it obviously is. And that is important to point out. 
 #  The UN Security Council's unanimous endorsement of the Baker plan (B2) came in the form of SCR 1495 in July 2003. Read it yourself: http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/UN_Security_Council_Resolution_1495 
 #  Morocco is clearly uncomfortable with the UN process, and has always pushed for bilateral negotiations with Algeria to avoid having to confront the Polisario via the UN. It has support in this from France and, lately, the US. This is not POV, this is the basics of the conflict. I don't know if ""resistant"" is the best word (although it is correct), but please suggest a better one to get the point across. 
 #  Baker tried and failed because Morocco (as stated in its reply to the UN) wouldn't consider a referendum with independence as an option, despite having agreed to that, and despite that being the very core of the Baker Peace plan (and the Settlement Plan of 1991). This must be in the article. But if you're only after minor language changes, I see no problem with that. What would they be? 
 #  Sahrawi and Moroccan culture in the Moroccan-occupied parts is missing, yes. Since journalists aren't allowed in freely, it is of course hard to report on, and it hasn't helped that Morocco spent most of its occupation denying the existence of a separate Sahrawi culture. But if you have anything on the subject, by all means, write. 
 #  I'm not sure on the number of links, but of course the Moroccan position should be represented (for example with your suggestion), if it is not already. I suspect you have a pretty wide definition of ""pro-Polisario"", though... ;-) 

 salaam, 
 ARRE. 

 Salam ARRE ) 
 * Thank you for your precisions. I think that there is a little problem of wording, We feel (or maybe I feel) that the article was written by an author who doesn't like the moroccan position so much. I'm not against p
