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.

Comments:
- Comment— directed at Funky Monkey: How does "inappropriate edit summaries" relate to my sutability as a mediator? Please read the point that says Comments should relate to the candidate's ability to serve as a mediator. Comments that raise issues unrelated to the candidate's suitability for the Committee will be disregarded, and may be removed at the descretion of the Committee members.
I will comment on each of your examples seperately.
- Your first example: That comment was directed at an editor who has found a problem with every singer potential FA since he's been here. In no way did I attack him (I even mentioned that in my question).
- Second example: that anon editor has had a long history disrupting the WMA page as well as Mariah Carey et al over album sales. After I repeatedly straightened out the incident, he/she returned with his/her 'shenanigans'. Additionally, in now way did I attack him/her. (I reiterate: How does this show me as an unfit mediator?)
- The third example: I did not disrespect the editor, and I tried to control my anger ...It cannot be called a personal attack unless you insult/attack the person.
- The fourth example: a long quarrel between two anons over record sales made me angry. In hindsight, my language may have been harsh, but 1. they were not directed at anyone, and 2. I will not censor my language. Ofcourse I will try not to be vulgar, but many editors here use "sh*t", "f*/k" ... with no penalty imposed.
- The fifth example: An editor attacked me (and quoted WP:Dick). When I proceeded to reason with the editor, he became cheeky (the full story, which Funky Monkey ignored is on my talk page).
- I'm really having trouble understanding your last example (which was when I was giving a statement in a request for arbitration).
