unnecessary mediation at Broken Flowers Chris I m not knowledgeable about mediation arbitration and such things but it seems to me that the current mediation at Broken Flowers is unnecessary considering that it s between an anonymous IP who keeps inserting his own private original research essay into the article even after being told not to by the mediator and another editor simply trying to revert it The IP also has posted direct personal insults to the other editor on the talk page and in his edit summaries It seems to me that this is not something that deserves mediation it just needs an admin to nip it in the bud Can you take a look
