Whether we deal with article-based disputes is a close issue. While I see the need and advocate it, I recall great reluctance on the part of the mailing list to allow arbitration of article content. I'm also posting this to wikien-l for further comment by the mailing list.

Item [4]. I believe that it is important that we remain available for article-based disputes. Some of these will not be able to be resolved through mediation. Since "interpersonal" disputes at Wikipedia have their roots in article disputes, I think the community would be best served to have a means of resolving article disagreements where mediation has failed.
