 Nominated: 01:21, November 17 2008 (UTC) view edit watch I believe i can mediate very good because i tend to get into the root of the problem and double check what i find to be true.Hereford 01:21, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Questions from Committee members:
 * What are the core principles of Mediation Committee mediation?
 * To resolve disputes in a formal manner to the satisfy both or all parties.
 * Discussions during formal mediation are privileged; they cannot be used against the parties in later proceedings (e.g. RfArb/RfC). Why is that important?
 * Because the discussions may not satisfy both/all parties
 * What prior experience do you have in resolving disputes on Wikipedia? Please provide links, and how will these experiences help you to be an effective Committee member?
 * I was recently wrongly blocked and i remained calm and explained my situation.

Mediation Committee:
 * Sorry Hereford, I'm going to oppose this request as I don't think you've got enough experience. Why don't you go and get some experience over a MedCab and come back when you've got a number of cases under your belt?

 * Unfortunately I also have to oppose for similar reasons. It looks like your recent adoption went well, so now that you've gotten the basics down, MedCab would be a good place to start getting experience in mediation.  Shell    babelfish 15:41, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
