User:Giano II/Giano's views on Arbcom elections and candidates.

This is a page to make notes on my thoughts of the various Arbcom candidates - as I research them and their contributions. If anyone wishes to comment please do so on the talk page, as I don't wish my own thoughts and views to be confused.

I am looking for candidates who are totally honest, transparent and upfront even if I don't happen to agree with them. The self serving and devious on an ego trip will not obtain my support

Don't know thisRussian editor. We have quite a few Russians about the encyclopedia now, doing amazing work. There needs to be one on the Arbcom as they are under represented.
Thinks the decision of the Giano case was "Still I think the process was reasonably transparent and the decision was a fair reflections of community sentiments and the basic wikipedia principles"
But a healthy, if not refreshing, response to my question [1]

Australian - good
Plays cricket - even better
However edits like this and this [2] [3] amused me at the time, but would I vote for the man who made them - is he in the mould of Kelly Martin. The cricket though is redeeming - I shall think on

Sound frightened of committing himself in his answers - needs to jump into the water and swim

Used to be a nurse, so probably quite intelligent and kind.
Nurses generally efficient and organized, and sensible.
Had possitive dealings with Flo in the past.
Informative but evasive answer [4]

Seems to have completely lost the plot over what the Giano case was about and who was involved and why. Could be forgiven in an ordinary editor - not a good sign for a prospective Arbcom member.

Admits taking advice from IRC before taking Admin related decisions.
Seems to be considered something of an IRC expert [7]

Conservative - worrying in one so young
Roman Catholic - good
Anime - bad
Wears a funny hat - obviously has a sense of humour, with that hat he needs it.
looks very worried - something to do with being 18 no doubt
Wikipedian since: November 8, 2003 - good has staying power
[8] I like that answer. Kid has a brain.

Has said "I've never used it, or any Wikipedia IRC channel, and I would continue not to do so as an Arbitrator unless something specifically required it." - excellent
