JCarriker
I've been thinking about nominating myself for a while now. I've been inspired by the response to MGM’s ideas (especially the committee's), and I've also been encouraged by wikipedians that I helped as an advocate. I enjoy mediating things, I'm a successful Model UNer, the City Commission in my hometown endorsed a project I'm heading to get the city's factions to cooperate better, and I try to broker compromises when they occur in subjects I'm knowledgeable about (see Talk:Eleanor Roosevelt). I believe in mediation, and its potential to avoid conflict, and I personally know of instances where POV warriors have agreed to compromise. I'm not a perfect person, I've had user conflicts in the past&mdash; though all of them have been cordially resolved. I've never been brought before ArbCom or Rfced, and I'm on good terms with virtually all wikipedians, (as far as I know). I believe I will make a good mediator if the committee and community will have me as one. -JCarriker 09:55, Jun 9, 2005 (UTC)
