Thanks Im not familiar with mediation procedures I submitted originally in the hopes it would help end the edit warring behaviors some are engaging in The basic problem is that most of the editors agree that the old wording stating as fact that Israels attack on Egypt was preemptive violates WPNPOV The agreed solution is to make the statement neutral endorsing neither one view nor the other There are just one or two  and I mean principally Jiujitsuguy  who refuse to comply with this nearconsensus agreement among editors and want to revert it to the unneutral version My efforts to have the article read neutrally in accordance with the majority agreement among editors resulted in ME getting blocked So it would be a breath of fresh air if one of the administrators actually did something to HELP the situation rather than hinder efforts to enforce the agreedupon solution among editors see Talk page If you dont mind helping us out on this Id like to follow through If the behavior Im describing continues Ill resubmit
