 Wikipedia:Mediation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mediators will examine the facts surrounding the dispute in an attempt to understand what each party is looking for and to determine what may end the dispute.
Mediation can only occur between two parties, which may consist of a single disputant, or a cohesive group of disputants in common cause.
Mediators will work with both parties, and therefore cannot counsel or give advice to either party involved in the dispute.
