Preliminary matters
A few preliminary matters before we get started. Basically whether you're happy with me mediating and where we're going to discuss things.
So a little about me. I'm a Brit and have no association with (or indeed knowledge of) any Fraternities so there isn't any conflict of interest that I can see :-). My role here will be to help you all to reach agreement on the issue in dispute, not to express opinions or take sides. Hopefully by the end of this mediation you will be able to reach an outcome that is acceptable to all of you. I will try to guide you as to what issues it might be helpful for you to discuss - but this process is about you. If you're unhappy with the way things are going at any time, please let me know.
If you have any questions, you may contact me at any time, either via my talkpage or by email if you prefer (my email address is WJBscribe at gmail dot com). I will treat all email correspondence as strictly confidential. WjBscribe 02:28, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Location of this mediation
If there are no privacy issues of concern to any of you, this mediation can proceed on this talkpage. However if any of the you would prefer the discussions to take place in private, I can create accounts for you on the private MedComWiki and we can proceed there. Please indicate which option you think is best:
- Happy to have discussions here
- I have no qualms about discussing here. Jmlk17 06:15, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
- Yes. I think that discussion should be here, and have no objections to WJBscribe as mediator. —SlamDiego←T 08:09, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
- If the remaining party (contrary to my expectation) strongly prefer private discussion, then I will accept private discussion. —SlamDiego←T 12:32, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
- I agree that the discussion should be here. This discussion has been open thus far, and I don't see any reason why that should change. RJ 15:19, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
- Would prefer private mediation
Opening statements
Ok, now the above has been dealt with (I'll assume RJ meant to sign the first section). I think it would be a good idea to start by expressing where everyone stands on the issue in question. In your section below, please set out as concisely as possible:
- Whether you think the article should discuss the rape
- If yes, how much coverage the rape should have
- Your reasons for the above
This should give us an understanding of where everyone is coming from on the issue. WjBscribe 03:32, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
