Wendy. I made changes to a couple of the references. However, you shouldn't have Wikipedia reference itself.

Wendy: This section below is the existing section about peer mediation on the Wikipedia Mediation page. You can use it as a base to make a separate page on peer mediation.

• One can also employ mediation to reduce or prevent violence in sports and in schools, using peers as mediators in a process known as peer mediation. This process (highlighted by Cremin)[6] provides a way of handling conflicts and preventing violence in primary schools and high schools. Schools adopting this process often recruit and train students interested in being peer mediators. Peace Pals, developed by Rita Schellenberg, a professional school counselor, is a peer mediation program used in the schools. Peace Pals was studied over a 5-year period and revealed several positive outcomes including a reduction in school-wide violence (Schellenberg, Parks-Savage, & Rehfuss, 2007).
