Mediator response
Hi, there. Just so you are aware, the Mediation Cabal is an informal process with no official power and is unable to punish editors. I see you opened up another case concerning the same editor - have you made attempts to speak with him about the issue? Usually going ahead and starting a conversation may clear some things up. Thanks. Cowman109 Talk 18:04, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Since I have accepted the Darth Vader one and since these are related I will be handleing this one as well. Æon Insane Ward 21:28, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Discussion

 * Talk:Bionic Hand, Talk:Darth Vader, and User talk:A Man In Black are all on my watchlist, and I monitor my watchlist closely. If there's some sort of content dispute, I'd be happy to discuss things whereever is appropriate, but this is the first time I've ever heard of Alofferman. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 20:19, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
