A mentor is a highly experienced Supervisor (sometimes a Senior Supervisor), who provides support and guidance to newly promoted Supervisors, garnered from their own hands-on experiences working as a Supervisor within the Answers.com community.
You become a mentor after being a good/successful supervisor for a significant amount of time. These highly experienced supervisors are also given the responsibility of training the new supervisors in the art of being a good supervisor.
If you would like to become a mentor, get in touch with Ganderton (Gregg). Message him at his message board: UserDiscuss:Gandertonor by email to Ganderton @ WikiAnswers.com (remove the spaces).

What is the difference between a Senior Mentor and a regular Mentor on WikiAnswers?
A Senior Mentor on WikiAnswers is a Mentor who has graduated proteges from the program and has committed to providing support and guidance to a new Mentor who has just joined the program; usually this is one of his or her own graduated proteges, but not always. The idea is to give the new members of the Volunteer Mentoring Program someone specific to rely on for answers to their Mentoring questions, just as a Mentor does this for a Supervisor who has just joined our community.
When did the WikiAnswers Mentor badge change?
The Mentor badge was changed sometime in January of 2009, I believe. The change was made in order to improve the design.
