From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I suppose since these voter guides are in vogue, I might as well go ahead and make one too. This page has my thoughts of the moment on the candidates running for ArbCom this year's elections. Although it's in my userspace, it's not owned; feel free to tinker around with it if you think you can improve its usability or accuracy.

Elements of this page were shamelessly stolen from the voter guides authored by MBisanz and Lar. All statistics are accurate as of November 25, 2008.

44949 2005-01-08 Administrator (13) Admin Matthew Hoffman; Betacommand 2 I really like Carcharoth's style, which is to step into a heated situation with a dispassionate, accurate set of events, and detail several possible ways to move forward. Unfortunately, I'm generally unimpressed with the bizarre positions regarding BLP and administrative misconduct advanced during Badlydrawnjeff and Matthew Hoffman. However, his views on BLP have since refined, and he shows a clear understanding of science and how prominently it should be applied when editing pseudoscientific articles. Support

44747 2006-05-05 Administrator (20) Admin Tireless contributor of quality articles; a "man of the people" who still remains true to his roots despite holding positions of power, much like Blnguyen or Nichalp. Excellent answers to questions about BLP. Unlike most of the other people fielding candidacies, I believe that Casliber is running solely to better the project, not to get an ego boost or bully pulpit. Support

Sadi Carnot I was initially going to oppose because of lack of dedication to articles, but some of the other names on this list frankly scare me. Coren's always been sensible, and provided me with a lot of reassurances both privately and on the talkpage for this guide - and I'm one who puts little stock into campaign promises. Support

Wilkes, Wyss and Onefortyone aka Wyss. Formerly placed under editing restrictions by ArbCom for unseemly conduct; evaded these restrictions with a sockpuppet. (Note: several editors have disputed this; please see the talkpage for extended discussion.) Zero-tolerance attitude towards adminship makes them wholly incompatible with a role of higher responsibility that requires more creative solutions. Strong Oppose

Giano One of my priorities is limiting access to CheckUser and Oversight; James F. has historically been an inactive arbitrator, so he won't be able to do too much more damage than some of the other people listed here. Support

I've worked on and off with R on some minor stuff in the past couple of months and like his style. Doesn't talk much game, but carries a big stick and gets things done when he needs to. I've got a couple nagging concerns about R's language skills, but have no doubt he'd be a fair and competent arbitrator. Strong support

fka Smoddy. Was a competent arbitrator back in the day, and nothing's happened since then to instill any doubt in me that he can't do it again. Very responsive and helpful whenever CheckUser or Oversight assistance is required. I was especially impressed with the way they put the Betacommand conflict to bed once and for all. Strong support

Bluemarine; Franco-Mongol Alliance Career mandarin; I am hard-pressed to find any improvement of the encyclopedia in the past two years. Inactive mediator; I can only conclude that he holds the chair position only to boost his résumé. Supports civil POV pushers. Has a history of misusing authority to suit him and his friends. Strong Oppose
