Kelly Martin
This candidate has withdrawn from the race; please do not vote. This page is kept primarily for historical reasons. Thank you!
I've decided to reverse my previously announced intent not to run after a curious discussion (on IRC) with another editor who told me that people object to me being on ArbCom because I am too well-trusted and well-respected in the community. Apparently, being trustworthy and respected are qualities not desired in Arbitration Committee members. I found this argument so brazenly illogical that it convinced me to run.
I don't have a platform, other than a promise to handle each case fairly, with every decision intended to further our fundamental goal: to write an encyclopedia. Kelly Martin (talk) 01:13, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
Note: I have made an additional statement regarding the "userbox affair" which may be seen on my "Questions" page. I encourage voters to read it before voting. Kelly Martin (talk) 16:25, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
I have withdrawn myself from consideration in this election. Kelly Martin (talk) 21:34, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

- Oppose. Kelly's recent actions, and subsequent unapologetic behavior indicate to me that she is not suited to this level of responsibility. While she has garnered respect for her contributions to Wikipedia, she seems to have little respect for due policy and has proven to be a polarizing figure herself - certainly not a desirable trait in the ArbCom.

- Reluctant Oppose Despite good track record, the userbox incident (and poor handling of the fallout from it) is too much to ignore. I expect more from arbitrators. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:40, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

- Oppose, per userbox. Regardless of whether Ms. Martin's userbox crusade was proper—and it wasn't—the doubts that surround that action extend to her, and thus to her neutrality and effectiveness as an arbitrator. No arbitrator should have a cloud over her. --zenohockey 16:18, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

- Oppose, reluctantly as have had several nice IRC chats with this candidate in the past. However, she cannot be trusted with admin responsibilities, and therefore cannot be trusted with a higher post on the 'pedia. ➨ ❝REDVERS❞ 21:20, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

- Oppose, not because of the userboxes incident (which I think is irrelevant to her capacities in arbitration) but because of her judgment in the recent Xed case. The decision to commend the prosecutor for actions that were admittedly hasty and the easy support vote given to a far too harsh remedy give me the impression that there isn't enough passion to get it right and to further our ultimate goal of writing an encyclopedia. — mark ✎ 12:56, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

- Oppose. Candidate does not adequately address the nature of arbitration in their candidate statement. In ignorance: I must oppose. With so many candidates, the statement is the extent to which I can engage in becoming an informed voter. Any candidate so contemptuous of the demos as to make it difficult for me to become an informed voter: I must oppose, it bodes poorly for their capacity to take on social responsibility.

Arniep 21:15, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
Neutral
- Neutral. Can't support because of attitude during RfC, can't oppose because she's done well on ArbCom so far, as far as I know. Hermione1980 22:35, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
- Neutral I feel that her good actions in the past and her current actions cancel each other out and cannot support or oppose her. She is a good admin who made a bad decision, however that does not mean she is a bad person/admin/wikipedian, everyone uses bad judgement one and a while. Mike 22:43, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
- Mike does not have suffrage as this was the 133rd edit, 136 counting deleted edits. WAvegetarian (talk) (email) (contribs) 01:58, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
- Neutral. I don't feel I should support her per her recent use of Admin privileges, let alone ArbCom privileges. However, as this is the first major issue arising in relation to her being given extra privileges, I don't feel she is deserving of an oppose vote. So I abstain from the vote at the moment, pending any drastic change in her attitude towards the criticism she has been recently receiving. Werdna648T/C\@ 10:49, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
Oppose. I think it's bad to give additional power to someone who seems to think she's above policy. I'm also troubled by her incivility, and by what seems to be her contempt for those with whom she disagrees. I do believe that she worked conscientiously for the ArbCom, but there are others who could do that without being so abrasive. AnnH (talk) 01:28, 10 January 2006 (UTC)Based on her apology, on my conviction that she worked hard for the arbcom, on my belief that there has been more than enough nastiness over this issue, and on my respect for the judgment of some of the people who supported her both in the RfC and in this election (and who know her better than I do), I am changing my vote to neutral. AnnH (talk) 22:54, 10 January 2006 (UTC)-
Oppose for the userbox explanation - Hbdragon88 23:16, 10 January 2006 (UTC)- Moved vote to Oppose block, was put in wrong place by Hbdragon88. Mike 23:51, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
- Ooh, sorry about that. I was voting, but someone had changed the page before I could, so I dropped it at the bottom, forgetting about the neutral section - Hbdragon88 23:52, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
- Moved vote to Oppose block, was put in wrong place by Hbdragon88. Mike 23:51, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
-
- Changed to Neutral - Arbitration requires a fair hand. It also requires an ability to be a shoulder on which to vent, and knowing what private information to pass on. A recent, private exchange with her has led me to seriously doubt she can be even-handed and I will reserve my vote for another time. ℬastique▼parℓer♥voir♑ 01:56, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
