Mediation

When there is a dispute over content for which there seems to be no end in sight, it may be time for mediation.

But mediation should be a last resort. So, if after you have tried getting a Third opinion or making a Request for comment, and the problem is still deadlocked, it may be time to check in with Dispute resolution requests. The Dispute resolution guide offers general advice.

Today's featured picture

Percy Grainger (1882–1961) was an Australian-born composer, arranger and pianist who played a prominent role in the revival of interest in British folk music in the early 20th century. Grainger left Australia in 1895 to study at the Hoch Conservatory in Frankfurt. Between 1901 and 1914 he was based in London, where he established himself first as a society pianist and later as a concert performer, composer and collector of original folk melodies. He met many of the significant figures in European music, forming friendships with Frederick Delius and Edvard Grieg, and became a champion of Nordic music and culture. In 1914, Grainger moved to the United States, where he took citizenship in 1918. He experimented with music machines that he hoped would supersede human interpretation. Although much of his work was experimental and unusual, the piece with which he is most generally associated is his piano arrangement of the folk-dance tune "Country Gardens". This glass negative of Grainger was taken at some point around 1915–1920.

Graphs

I love it how Aboriginal paintings depict a whole story.

Good graphs can also tell a story, as Edward Tufte describes in his books on data visualization.

Global warming

• 
  Daily Sea Surface Temperatures 60S-60N 1979-2023

This Copernicus graph is a jewel. It is a graph that tells a whole story in an instant.

The blue, white, red lines are like waves of an ocean. The colours seem to show increasing temperature, yet actually show time, decades of data. Time and temperature coincide.

2023 jumps out of the waves, is out of bandwidth. Oceans are warming.
