Hopefully I'm doinbg where it should go. During 2008, I have followed closely the definition presented on spiritism, which makes it to look as a synonim to spiritualism. In a couple of opportunities I have corrected such points of view. lately, I decided to rewrite the topic, since deliberately any mention to Mr. Joaquín Trincado Mateo had beed evaded from this definition, which looked to me as kind of an abuse. Deconstructhis who is a contributor on this page, also seems to uphold such ideas, by undoing corrections to it I made. I corrected the idea stated that says "french spiritualism" related to Allan Kardec, which is absoolutely untrue. Why shouldn't just reinforce, perhaps what others do, or research if what they are saying is truth or not, but just undo others work, does not seem right.
I summarize, during this year I have seen these changes,and Deconstructhis currently undoes changes to this definition.

Remember, we're redesigning this so anyone can use it. New mediators and requesters are wary of templates, so we should avoid showing them as much as possible. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Xavexgoem ( talk • contribs)
←Alright, mostly done. It's functional as it is, but someday I'm gonna want to do something hideous to medcabstatus. I didn't even need to break the bot, sigh. Anyway, here are the changes:
Anyway, all in an effort to make medcab look less scary. Method 2 will be changed later, unless the project is indeed going to hell in a handbasket (to wit: invisibilize template on talk, so that disputes can be marked as such without anyone, y'know, knowing *cackles evilly*). But what's certainly next on the list is taking a hatchet to the esoteric templates, starting with medcabstatus (both methods - and the bot - are affected by this).
In the meantime, two things will likely be updated as information comes in: the /suggestions subpage, since some of the process has changed for cabalists; and the case pase template ( Template:MedcabTemplate), since I was perhaps a little too bold in changing it and now we have something completely different, so the request details are gonna come through differently. Kinda hard to measure, but we already have a case that's listed without any associated article (/fringe), so I know something is wrong :-p Xavexgoem ( talk) 12:53, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
Hi i requested informal mediation last week to do with the Scotland article. The problem has now been resolved so i need to withdraw the request. Ive said that on the case article and i changed the status to closed (not sure if that was the right thing to change it too, but was the only thing that seemed to work). Sorry if i did change it to the wrong thing, hope someone can put it into the right place. Thanks BritishWatcher ( talk) 11:08, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
At Xavexgoem's request, the template system has been overhauled. Make sure you read up on the new ways of changing case page statuses, opening and closing cases at Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/suggestions#Templates. Thankyou and happy mediating! Foxy Loxy Pounce! 07:55, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
If you wish to mediate a dispute there's no membership or anything required is there? You just add your name to the 'mediator:' on the dispute article info box and begin mediation right? -- SamB135 ( talk) 06:18, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
I do a lot of work at Wikipedia:Editor assistance/Requests and very often content disputes are brought to that page. There seems to be a great reluctance by editors there to undertake mediation on anything but the simplest and most straightforward cases. Would there be any objection to pointing suitable cases towards your page? SpinningSpark 13:07, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
Hello I am a mediator for If Americans Knew. The case page is here at Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2009-01/If Americans Knew. Unfortunately I may have undermined my own efforts at mediating. I believe my actions were necessary, but I would appreciate some advice and assistance from experienced mediators. This is my first time mediating. Ltwin ( talk) 21:57, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
Mediation on the Ireland matter has been turned down by all the extremely respectable editors. The team is short one mediator and suggestions are now running to "Someone who has a detailed knowledge of the subject" and "Let's ask Jimbo Wales" (who said no, etc) So, if no-one else asks, where would an editor find an impartial mediator? ~ R.

I began mediating a case related to a bunch of articles related to the Shell to Sea campaign, ( case page), but it seems life outside Wikipedia is demanding more and more time, and keeping me way too busy and preoccupied to effectively keep the mediation going. I thus ask for someone else to take over the case. I will drop by periodically as time permits and assist with the case, as needed. I'll inform the parties of this request, and hope someone can help us out. — Twinzor Say hi! 13:48, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
It seems that Erik has created the mediation, but there hasn't been any action for weeks. I've tried contacting on his talk page but I have no response. What is the procedure for mediation cases that has stalled due to mediator inactivity? 24.114.255.83 ( talk) 19:28, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
The user mediating this seems to have left "so he can live his life"; anyone mind if I strike his name and start mediating? After checking people still want mediation, of course. Ironholds ( talk) 22:05, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
I have been involved in a dispute which, out of exasperation, I brought to ArbCom. The details of that are irrelevent here, but the committee is generally of the opinion that it is a "content dispute". However, they also have said that this case highlights a "hole" in the arbitration process. Specifically, where the dispute is about content and the two sides have become so intractable that mediation cannot resolve the issue, there is nowhere for the dispute to go.
This gave me an idea, which I have offered as a suggestion in that dispute as to how we may find a resolution. This got me thinking further and I am wondering if the idea could be expanded to fill that "hole" in dispute resolution.
I have collected a few initial ideas as to how it might work and placed them here. Any comments or suggestions are greatly welcomed.-- FimusTauri ( talk) 16:15, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
I am looking for something to put over a section of an article to indicate that it is in mediation. I know I have seen this, but this is my first time mediating and can't seem to find it.
Is there somewhere that has a list of the different mediation cabal templates. For example, the template that goes at the top of a talk page to let people know that it is being mediated. Wikipediatoperfection ( talk) 20:24, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
I just took up my first case as a mediator. I am wondering whether mediators typically have the discussion on the case page or if they take it to the talk page. I took a look at the open cases and different mediators seemed to have different approaches. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why they like one method better or does anyone have a good rule of thumb? Wikipediatoperfection ( talk) 21:57, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
