Requests for mediation is the second-last step in dispute resolution on Wikipedia. Requests for mediation is carried out by members of the Mediation Committee, and is a formal but voluntary process to assist individuals in developing a mutual agreement to resolve a dispute over content. Mediation does not provide binding resolution to disputes; mediators can not, do not, and will not issue rulings on disputes.
Before requesting formal mediation, parties should attempt informal resolution prior to filing; disputes that have not attempted informal resolution may be rejected by a member of the Mediation Committee with the direction to attempt informal resolution. Requests for mediation is the penultimate dispute resolution process, and as such prior dispute resolution must have been attempted.
The Mediation Committee considers requests to open new cases only where all parties to the dispute indicate willingness to take part in mediation; parties are given seven days from the time of the initial request to indicate their acceptance. Parties are expected to watchlist the case page and follow any developments; it is the responsibility of the parties to follow the progress of the mediation.
The Mediation Committee uses and enforces a strict format to all requests, which will be automatically created when the case page name is entered into the input box below. For a guide to filing a request for mediation, see this page. Preliminary acceptance of a case by the Mediation Committee is an indication that all the requirements for mediation have been met at that time, however cases are not assigned to mediators as they have the freedom to mediate cases at their discretion.

Issues to be mediated
- The party filing this request uses this section to list the issues for mediation. Other parties can list additional issues in the section below.
- Temasek Holdings is added as the parent company of Singapore Airlines, along with multiple, reliable, verifiable sources, which is removed, and has been continually removed since 12 months ago.
- The inclusion of lists of flight numbers has been discussed at WP:AIRLINES which an editor refuses to recognise that concensus has been reached for its removal and continually adds back in this list.
- There is concensus on WP:AIRLINES that articles should not list destinations covered by codeshare agreements, but only the airlines with which the airline has codeshare agreements with. When removed, this is reverted.
- There is concensus on WP:AIRLINES that sprawling lists of aircraft registrations, as can be seen at Singapore Airlines fleet, are more aircraft-spotter orientated, and are not encyclopaedic so not suitable for Wikipedia. There is agreeance within the project that some fleets are notable and may require additional information to be provided (such as Western Pacific Airlines), but concensus is that Singapore Airlines does not have a notable fleet which requires sprawling lists.
- It is my opinion (and perhaps others also) that these articles are too promotional in flavour, and perhaps this is due to the over-existence of references to the airline itself, and also sources which are either commercial or don't fit the definition of a reliable source, and perhaps this needs to be looked at also, if editors as a whole think this should also be included?
