Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2007/Vote/Deskana

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

2007 Election status


Hi, I’m Deskana. For those of you unfamiliar with me, I am an administrator and a bureaucrat. I was also appointed by the current Arbitration Committee to help as a checkuser and oversighter. I am also member of the mediation committee, an OTRS respondent and more importantly, a Wikipedian.
What do I think I can bring to the Arbitration Committee? I am capable of seeing situations in a neutral and impartial way, and several administrators use me as their first point of reference if they require a second opinion on an assortment of user conduct and other matters, and I receive private requests from users regarding a wide variety of issues. I answer mail for the foundation (via OTRS), which requires a great amount of discretion, especially when answering complaints in the "Quality" queue which come from the subjects of articles or designated agents. The community also entrusted me with the responsibility to close Requests for Adminship, which similarly requires discretion and judgement. I also deal with Requests for Checkuser, where I must weigh the release of non-public data against the Wikimedia Foundation’s Privacy Policy.
I have significant knowledge of Wikipedia’s policies and (more importantly) the community’s standards with regards to user conduct, meaning I can effectively arbitrate and help to produce remedies which are acceptable to the community, as well as knowing when to hand matters over the community to resolve. I am very contactable so I can provide an easy and quick method of contacting arbitrators to discuss cases and other issues that require arbitrators.
My decision to run for the Committee was an easy one, given the amount of support I received from people whose advice I trust and problem solving skills I admire. Having participated in a case recently, I see the shortcomings of the current arbitration process, which is mainly the speed with which cases are dealt. I would hope to respond quickly to cases in every aspect possible, if I am elected.
In my opinion, arbitration is a very successful last resort in dealing with issues, and the committee has my full trust. If the community would like me to arbitrate for them, I would be honoured to devote a significant portion of the time that I spend on Wikipedia to the arbitration process, and overall increase the amount of time I devote to Wikipedia.
Thank you for your consideration. --Deskana (talk) 02:12, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • PS: Please note that I will be resigning from active duty in the Mediation Committee should I be elected to the Arbitration Committee.

  80. Oppose. Deskana seems to be a fine editor, but I am not convinced by his answer to the question w/r/t concentration of power, and if you are too busy with your current tasks to much contribute to mainspace, how are you not too busy for Arbcom? --Gwern (contribs) 21:58 7 December 2007 (GMT)

  101. Oppose per above. Yahel Guhan 05:46, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  102. A look at your contribs tells me you've either forgotten why we're here or are already weighed down with all the extra hats you wear. Either way, you're not the right person to be on arbcom. Angus McLellan (Talk) 13:43, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    I have answered both of your concerns on my questions page. Have you read my answers? --Deskana (talk) 15:17, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    You certainly did reply and I did read those answers, but they didn't convince everyone as can be seen from the similar opposes above. Like several candidates in these elections, I think you're deceiving yourself as to what will happen if, or in your case more probably when, you're elected. Even if you give up other things, medcab and/or part of the bureaucrat stuff, arbcom appears to be extremely demanding of time and energy. If you can't find the time to build the encyclopedia now, you certainly won't if you are elected. Either you'll be increasingly detached from the work of this project and life in the trenches or you'll be a part-time arbitrator. Neither of these outcomes is ideal, not for you and not for the community. Angus McLellan (Talk) 16:14, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  107. Oppose. A good editor and seemingly a nice person, but I oppose on the principle of too many hats, too much concentration of power COUPLED with the fact that I see nothing compelling about why this person should be on ARBCOM and in some cases I disagree with this person's positions. With all of these combined I oppose.--Blue Tie (talk) 16:44, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
