To contact the Mediation Committee (MedCom) using Wikipedia's EmailUser function, click the above link while logged into your Wikipedia account. You must have previously confirmed your e-mail address (see Wikipedia:Emailing users#Enabling and disabling user email). If you have not confirmed your e-mail address, you may instead compose a message in your client to mediation-en-llists.wikimedia.org. Before being circulated to the list subscribers, all messages will be held for approval by a list administrator.
Disclaimers
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.
Once received, your communications may be shared with committee members and, in some limited cases, with third parties to assist in resolving issues or other purposes. Your communications may be kept for an undetermined period of time for archival or other reasons.
You should also know that even your return email address may lead to revealing your real life identity. Many people create anonymised email accounts – for instance <your username>@gmail.com, <username>@hotmail.com and so on – specially for Wikipedia use. 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.
Further information
Messages sent using the above link will be sent to the Wikipedia e-mail address of the Chairman of the Mediation Committee (this address is declared manually in the account's preferences panel), who will forward the message to the MedCom's mailing list.
