Merging of [[self-consciousness]] and [[self-awareness]]

Proposed merge by user:Spencerk was disputed and reverted by user:MetaBubble and user:Ewlyahoocom. Current page for self-consciousness now does not reflect the dominant usage of the term- as indicated by a google test. See discussion at Talk:Self-awareness. Spencerk now seeks a disambiguation page on self-consciousness, to reflect both usages of the term as a comprimise because Ewlyahoocom has reverted attempts to have them co-exist on a merged page.

Article talk pages:Talk:Self-awareness

=Other steps in dispute resolution that have been attempted:=

first formal step. several reverted edits

=Issues to be mediated=

  • seems that all parties agree that self-consciousness is used in two ways. self-consciousness as in self-esteem, and self-consciousness as in self-awareness. Request that mediator assists in choosing the best way for this to be represented. merged page, seperate pages with dablinks, or disambig page. involved parties cannot reach agreement.

=Parties' agreement to mediate=

Accept: Assuming the other editor listed above is no longer interested in the article, the two parties that have agreed can proceed.
