| :It's pretty easy really; we accept offers from non-Committee members to assist with cases, and are currently backlogged, so it's a great time to get involved. I'd suggest starting with reading the various mediation pages (there is a list of links on RFM that would make a good start) to give you an idea of our scope and our process; you could also read through some of the current cases to get an idea for how the product end works. Once you have a feel for what we do, look at the cases that are currently unassigned (you'll find them in the box on the side of RFM) and pick out one that you would feel comfortable mediating, and put an offer on the mediation page to begin. At that point, you pretty much take it from there; I don't really do a lot of oversight over mediators unless something comes up that requires I look in on it.

This user is no longer active on Misplaced Pages.
My comments here will be short and to the point: I'm no longer taking part here. I have received an astounding amount of support, especially by email, but it's time to go. I tried to walk away in August, and managed to do so for quite a while, but I eventually came back, because of the many requests I received urging me to return. Many of you have written to ask me to not leave, to not give up what I have here, but I'm afraid it's time to make a clean break.
I ask that the first steward to see this message please remove my various flags from this wiki, as well as from Meta, Commons, and Wikiquote, and remove the bot flags from my bots, which of course will no longer be running. My tools will be taken down shortly. I had planned to delete my user-space myself, but I don't want anyone to think I was going on a rampage, so instead, I ask that one or more administrators who are friends please delete the 288 pages that form my userspace (leaving only my userpage and this talk page).
I've enjoyed my time here, and done much good work; my time, however, is over, and leaving is the best thing for me and for Misplaced Pages. I walk away happy to be free to go about other things. I hope others will refocus the energy they have spent the past few days in defending and denouncing me to make something here at Misplaced Pages better.
