::The one point was easy, consensus wasn't needed since the man himself called it "co".  Reverting that back would be considered disruptive, since it is a clear case of WP:V.  The awards will take consensus.  Sometimes, a little formality and formatting helps keep a discussion on track, and this makes it easy for another admin to see that a consensus really does exist, due to the headers and such.  A little formality is a good thing in contentious discussions, I have found.   I don't see admins mediate like this, but maybe some do and I just haven't seen it.  Most just deal with a single question rather than a process, or they lurk instead of "clerk" the discussion.  Sometimes, you have to steer it like a ship, slow and steady.  I don't know the right way, this is just how I do it.    -
