[edit] Xyrael

Xyrael (talk contribs) With any online community there is bound to be conflict, but on Wikipedia we are lucky because we realised early on that systems to resolve this would be needed. I believe that I have the patience and skill to help mediate disputes in the community, and would like to serve Wikipedia by doing so as part of the mediation committee. My role as a freenode volunteer involves dispute resolution in the difficult environment of IRC, and I think that through this I have gained insight into the best way to understand and bring conclusions and compromises to disputes on the Internet. I had a nomination to this committee some months ago but it failed due to my lack of experience, which was a fair comment that I've learned from. Due to the fact that I am now an administrator, I see myself as having a good understanding of policy and the community behind me. I have taken flak, and I believe that I've responded appropriately, so I'd love to be able to take the opportunity to use my skills for the good of the project as a mediator. —Xyrael / 22:15, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

I have taken a case as a demonstration of my abilities. —Xyrael / 19:14, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
This case has now concluded successfully. I have removed it from open tasks and archived it as I can see others have done; please let me know if I've got this wrong somehow. Both parties are now going to implement the agreed changes into the article themselves as everything was resolved peacefully. —Xyrael / 10:08, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Outside opinions:

  • Support! An extremely cool- and level-headed editor. Well rounded in Wikipedia Policies. Will make a great mediator. Misza13 22:19, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Support I hold this user in great respect, and think he will make an excellent member of the Meditation Committee. Good luck! --Anthonycfc (Talk to Me) (sandbox) (E-Count) 19:16 16 Oct 2006 (UTC)
  • Support He was in the Mediation Cabal! He responded swiftly to our naming disputes at Japanese invasions of Korea (1592-1598), and he suggested submitting to WP:RM. (Wikimachine 17:33, 3 November 2006 (UTC))
  • Support, as a participant in Xyrael's "trial mediation". During this process, he was unfailingly patient and ensured that civility was maintained, eventually leading to an amicable resolution. I highly recommend that he be granted membership. Seraphimblade 10:15, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
