Journalist
Journalist (talk • contribs) I want to be a mediator because...I am respectful, respected, fair, and approachable. I have been on Misplaced Pages for over a year now, and I consider myself sort of a senior member of the neighborhood. I have had very positive interactions with the community, and I have built close friendships with many. Also, I would be honored to lend more of my services to Misplaced Pages. Im an Admin (for the past 9 months), Advocate, "Esperanzian" and a member of the Misplaced Pages:Kindness Campaign, and I believe that I'm fully equipped with the knowledge and expreience that is needed to become a mediator.
