User talk:Cyan/mediator

Please blank or ignore this subpage if it annoys you. It will not be restored unless and until there is a new reason for the User:mediator to ask you something or contact you.

It has been created only for the following reasons:

1. A test of User:Mediator/policy

2. To request your review of the User:Mediator mission statement.

3. To invite you to raise any issues with these, or User:Mediator's behaviour or practices, at User:Mediator/mediator. The Mediator plays by its own rules. It is not a GodKing. It has no special status, and doesn't require any such status.

4. To notify you that you are welcome to place your own name at User:Mediator/candidates to eventually take over this role. Leaving your name there helps to keep the role ambiguous even if it is not strictly anonymous (which ideally it would be).

5. To suggest that you create a similar role account for any other language wiki you use, and adapt these procedures to that wiki as well. Over time all the best practices can be compiled into one single translated guide for all mediators. This will be very useful for wikis where there is no GodKing attention.

Thank you for your time. The current User:Mediator also appreciates your principled defense of ambiguity and anonymity, which is a very important way to keep ad hominem issues out of the GNU FDL text base we're trying to build.
