[edit] fvw

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)

Unsure, but not necessarily opposing, since Fvw is still fairly new. Angela. 15:01, Dec 21, 2004 (UTC)

Ditto Angela. Neutrality^talk 00:54, Dec 25, 2004 (UTC)

Too new, I think. Not opposing though Andre (talk) 08:46, Dec 27, 2004 (UTC)

Ditto others. Ambi 01:37, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Oppose. Too new and inexperienced. Danny 15:16, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Outside opinions:

• In interests of full fairness and not as a slight to fvw, I present Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Fvw. BLANKFAZE | (что??) 00:55, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Strike that, the RfC seems to have been withdrawn. BLANKFAZE | (что??) 01:10, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)

See my statement above under Snowspinner's application. --Michael Snow 22:31, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)

• I believe Fvw recently had a RFA opposed on his newness which was possibly an okay decision (Nevermind he is an admin!). He does seem to have commitment to Wikipedia and wants to help in some way. I see no reason why he wouldn't do a good job here as a mediator. I suggest to the Committee that you support him. You'll probably see he'll do a good job and he'll most certainly not do a bad job. So, I urge you to support his nomination.
