=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.
- There has been a long-running content dispute over at least the past six months between primarily Gavin.collins and a number of editors who contribute and edit articles on RPGs. This dispute has been centered around a variety of content issues believed to be possessed by these articles, including notability, reliable sources, plot summaries, in-universe perspective, original research, and a host of other issues.
- Gavin has placed one or more cleanup templates on hundreds of articles, and sometimes one or more editors will disagree that the templates apply. Even when an editor attempts to fix the issue, Gavin will usually assert that the article issues remain and that the cleanup issues have not been fully addressed.
=Additional issues to be mediated=
:Other parties can use this section to list any others issues they wish to include in the mediation. Please do not modify or remove any other party's listing. Please sign all additions to this section if there are more than two parties involved in this case.
- Additional issue 1
- Additional issue 2
=Parties' agreement to mediate=
:All parties should sign below, indicating that they agree to mediate the issue. If any party fails to sign, or if a party indicates they do not agree, then the mediation will be rejected. Only "Agree" or "Disagree" and signatures should appear here; any comments will be removed, but can be made at the talk page.
