Issues to be mediated[edit]

All aspects of article content over which there is disagreement should be listed here. The filing party should define the scope under "Primary issues", which is used to frame the case; other parties to the dispute can list other issues under "Additional issues", and can contest the primary issues on case talk page.

Primary issues
  • The user Sitush is trying to maintain the status quo in the article by stressing that "Jaat People are non elite tillers and herders". Sitush is hampering other editors to modify certain aspects of the articles. I am modifying this article with the help ofgenuine anthropological studies from JSTOR, but he is reverting my edits.
  • A General Consensus is there on the talk page of this article that "non elite tillers" must be dropped from it because it is showing the community in negative light. All editors except sitush are suggesting that this should be dropped. Please stop sitush from Moderating this article because wikipedia is a community project and a single user's whims must not dictate it.
Additional issues (added by other parties)
  • Additional issue 1
  • Additional issue 2
