Whosyourjudas
I would like to throw my hat in the MC ring. I've been a Wikipedian since August 2004, and would like to become more involved in the community. I would like to help other users to get past their disputes, as there is little that is less fun and more damaging than an escalating argument. While I generally avoid very controversial articles, I worked toward NPOV on God to success. I've also gone through other minor disputes, and would now like to help others get through theirs. I hope I am seen as acceptable (or better); if not, please let me know what I can improve on. Thank you. --Whosyourjudas (talk) 19:53, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Mediation committee:
 * I don't see any major concerns, but have you got any examples of where you've been involved in conflict resolution? It'd be nice to see how you might mediate before making a final verdict. Good enough explanation for me. Ambi 01:07, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * I have been in conflicts both as an involved party and as an unofficial mediator. At Gross domestic product, I narrowly avoided a growing revert war with a friendly anon.  We worked out our differences in talk and ended up with a more accurate article, not a dispute.  I stepped up as mediator at Talk:Translation in response to a VP request.  Between that page and assorted usertalks, I helped people to stay cool and work out their differences.  I think it went well, with everyone ending up happy.  I also warn users about approaching 3RR violations to prevent disputes.  But I would like to be able to help out when they do arise.  Further I am an adamant supporter of NPOV and work everywhere to diplomatically get articles to proper NPOV.  --[[User:Whosyourjudas|Whosyourjudas\talk]] 22:39, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * See my statement above under Snowspinner's application. --Michael Snow 22:31, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * One of the worst users on the Wikipedia. Name highly offensive. Oppose, consider banning. --Librarian Brent 23:02, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * I find someone's choice of a name a horrendous reason for a bad opinion of them. I've never seen this guy around, mostly due to my not having been around much myself, but bringing in his name is silly. --YixilTesiphon 01:13, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)


 * Application archived after Whos took a "temporary hiatus" from Wikipedia before being made a mediator. -- Jwrosenzweig 23:39, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
