Let me start be acknowledging the most obvious objection here, which is that I have been more than a little aggressive at times against people I have felt are trolls, and that I at times interpret policy as giving admins more leeway than other people do. That said, I am not especially interested in mediation about admin conduct or editing habits. If asked to mediate in one of these cases I would still be willing to, but I don't think many people would suggest me as a mediator for that, and I don't think that I would jump up and volunteer in those cases.
What I would like to mediate are content disputes, particularly NPOV disputes. I've done a number of these before, most notably and successfully on Lyndon LaRouche, but also on Micronation. In each of these cases, the disputes were long-running disputes that had led to multiple page protections and arbitration requests. I feel like this was some of the best work I've done on Wikipedia, and I would like to do more work of this sort. Snowspinner 19:02, Nov 19, 2004 (UTC)
