User:Asbestos/Sandbox

 These are rough drafts/notes for articles I'm writing, as well as a space to test templates, tables and the like without having to fight for space in the regular Sandbox. Feel free to edit this page if you see something in one of the article drafts that catches your attention.

Statement by the mediator
This is the mediation page for the issues surrounding the Test article. Before we begin, there are two important points that I like to make sure everyone understands in all mediations: Next, while I realize that much has been written in Talk:Test, in the edit summaries, and quite probably on people's talk pages, in the interests of Fire fighting I'd like to try and get all the relevent discussion on to this page, and to put a temporary freeze on discussing this topic on other talk pages. Finally, while it ought to be obvious, I'd like to ask everyone to avoid edit warring over this topic while this mediation remains active. &mdash; Asbestos | Talk   (RFC)  14:34, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) I am here to mediate between all of you, not to arbitrate or to make decisions. My job isn't to look up the facts and say who is wrong and who is right. Rather, it is to try and separate out the different arguments, and see if there are ways we can meet in agreement on any of the different issues.
 * 2) Because the purpose of this mediation is to try and get the different parties to agree on as much as possible, it needs to be stressed that all discussion should remain as civil as possible.

Statements of dispute
Please try to summarize the general problem as you see it, and what you'd like to see achieved as a result of this mediation. Please try to keep this short (200-300 words) &mdash; the details can come later. If you agree with a statement, please endorse it, and feel free to edit the statement you agree with so that it best reflects the feelings of your side.

Points under dispute
Please list here the specific problems that are under dispute. Please keep each point as short and as neutral as possible &mdash; neutral enough that the individual points don't need to be signed.
