The following page is a local copy of the Wikipedia page at Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal. (more info)

This page will never be Wikipedia policy. It is, by design, entirely informal. The Mediation Cabal provides informal mediation for disputes on Wikipedia. We cannot confirm or deny our existence. Actually the "Cabalists" of the Mediation Cabal do wish to help you, but problems are much easier to solve when you can laugh about them.

The Mediation Cabal is a bunch of volunteers providing unofficial, informal mediation for disputes on Wikipedia. We do not impose sanctions or make judgments. We are just ordinary Wikipedians who help facilitate communication and help parties reach an agreement.		If you want to mediate, pick a case from the list and adopt it. For advice, join our IRC channel or head to our talk page; we firmly believe that there are no stupid questions, so don't hesitate to ask for help. Be sure to read our suggestions for volunteers, which has instructions on opening cases.
