With the ArbCom election, the mediation committee has lost a number of good people, and I do feel it's important for there to be sufficient choice of mediators for editors seeking mediation. Therefor I'm nominating myself, and should there not be significant objection, I hope to contribute to this sometimes overlooked but important part of wikipedia dispute resolution. To preempt Ambi's question, no I haven't been involved in any major conflict resolution on wikipedia, only the odd "Don't you think you should reconsider that" or "could you have a look at this or that guideline". Though I understand this makes it difficult to predict my performance (and I'll take no offence at any objections), I do think I am capable of helping opposing parties come to a compromise, and if nothing else at least my ability to remain civil and communicative should be apparant from my edit history. So far I've been most active in RC-patrol and cleanup, and I'd like to work on this side of wikipedia too. I'm a reasonably new editor, but I am familiar with the way DispRes works and the community of wikipedia. -- fvw * 21:41, 2004 Dec 20 (UTC)
