 * AGF Challenge It is proposed as part of RfA, and might be useful for other things too. I would also invite anyone on Wikipedia Review, banned or not, to take the AGF Challenge; just email me your answers, anonymously of course.--Filll (talk) 22:33, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * People's fascination with all sorts of conspiracy theories vs. in-your-face day-to-day issues. Further explanation here Dorftrottel (criticise) 23:19, April 12, 2008
 * Ways of de-escalating conflicts instead of escalating them - A perennial wiki challenge - further to comments here - Privatemusings (talk) 11:52, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
 * non-admin rollback a few months later: the right decision or a mistake, lessons learned. Zginder 2008-04-14T23:11Z (UTC)
 * Proposal for enforcable mediation in exceptional circumstances, particulary when WP:V and WP:NPOV is in violation. Steve Crossin   (talk)   (anon talk)  17:00, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
 * The emerging zero tolerance policy some RC patrollers are implementing, and a discussion on the effects of whacking editors with the vandal stick. Steve Crossin   (talk)   (anon talk)  14:14, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment, generally and not at any specific issues. Remember, we try and keep the 'cast under an hour (after-editing; the full thing generally lasts over that), and we try and cover 3-4 key issues in-depth, rather than touching on too many, and spreading ourselves too thin. Some bartering goes on around 1 hour before the 'cast begins, deciding what issues to take, and what to not cover (and, furthermore, which to cover another time); don't be offended if your proposal isn't taken up: we only do, after all, have so much time :) Anthøny  14:34, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
