I was originally mediating this case for the mediation cabal, but didn't actually begin talking as I was trying to consume the talkpage. I'd like to take it as a demonstration of my abilities for my candidacy to the mediation committee if no-one involved has any objection. I will read through what I can find and then contact the disputants accordingly. —Xyrael / 19:13, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
