Messages sent directly will be held for moderation and may be discarded (and not sent on) at the sole discretion of the Chairman or other list moderator.

Messages sent to any other mediator may not be forwarded to the mailing list, at their sole discretion. The Mediation Committee does not guarantee to respond to, discuss, or read your message, although we usually seek to be as helpful as possible with all communications, and to at least acknowledge receipt of any message in a timely way.

The members of the Mediation Committee usually seek to treat your communications, including emails, as private when possible. We however cannot guarantee against public disclosure for a number of reasons, including potential security limitations. Accordingly, you should not disclose sensitive personal information in your communications with us.

Further information about safeguarding your privacy can be found at Wikipedia:On privacy, confidentiality and discretion and Wikipedia:How to not get outed on Wikipedia.

Not confirmed your e-mail?

If you are not able to confirm your e-mail address, you can instead attempt to email an active mediator and ask them to forward your message to the mailing list, but there is no guarantee that your message will reach the mailing list. You can also directly e-mail the mailing list on mediation-en-llists.wikimedia.org, but messages may be held for moderation, and may be discarded by any list moderator or the Chairman at their sole discretion.
