Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2006/Vote/Blnguyen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Statement

Hello. I registered in September 2005, becomin an administrator this May. I try to be active across a wide variety of activities, due to my enjoyment of the project, trying to become a more complete editor, as it is clear that I am very far from such a state. I have written extensively across a variety of topics with featured contributions, as well as janitorial duties, clearing backlogs, mediating disputes, and stuff in between. I feel that as Wikipedians tend to specialise more, a wide experience gives a good view of the issues facing Wikipedia , so that good faith contributors of all trades get the respect and fair treatment that they deserve.

Every arbcom decision must be geared towards advancing our fundamental goal of advancing the encyclopedia, by creating an environment which allows for maximum growth and productivity of quality content. The Arbcom intervenes when dispute resolution fails, to break deadlocks so that human resources are redirected to their ideal use, when users who persistently misbehave in a manner preventing the encyclopedia's progress, cannot be dealt with through the blocking policy.

As Wikipedia grows, the attention it receives from people with strong ethno- political and religious ideologies has exploded, and content improvement is stifled due to attempted advocacy, propaganda or rewriting of history. High levels of tendentious and disruptive behaviour persist for months before sanctions are put in place, resulting in many high profile and complex articles being in an embarrassingly poor state. This benefits detrimental editors whilst hardworking productive editors, often our best, who maintain delicate articles are forced out, sometimes simply due to the stigma of being in a protracted dispute. I strongly believe in the use of tailored remedies, as everybody has different strengths, in order to retain the productive facets of editing, whilst restricting negative activity, with banning as a last resort. I also favour maximum transparency.

I have a commitment to attention to detail (shown here in RfA nominations) , to maximise the likelihood of making correct decisions which give the encyclopedia the optimal opportunity to continue growing. I will attempt to make arbcom become more visible, by helping to formulate the findings and remedies so that problems are resolved faster. I have a thick skin, neutral, analytical and objective style and approachable and willing to respond to requests for assistance in detail, as shown by my talk archives.

    Support Everyone has flaws, and Blnguyen is no exception. However, he has been fairly neutral throughout many disputes on wikipedia. All one can ask is neutrality and adherence to wikipedia rules and norms, something that is increasingly scarce here with the encyclopedia slowly being taken over by zealots and their sympathizers. Blnguyen has done all of these things and done them as well as can be expected from any sysop. Blnguyen, as an ArbComm member, can be a valuable deterrent to this disturbing trend and restore the ArbComm to it's roots. Hkelkar 18:28, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

I support his bid for Arbcom because I feel his answers are candid, honest, and fairminded.

1. Blnguyen is a good guy, but much about his candidacy concerns me. "Tailored remedies" have been a disaster for the committee this past year, and have fallen out of favour for good reason - they're a large part of the reason why the committee is seen as so ineffectual. I'd hate to see these become mainstream again. I'm also not sure that he's got a great grip on the sorts of complex disputes that often come before the committee. Rebecca 02:54, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

8. Oppose- Weighed into a complex, well publicised dispute on behalf of a fellow Australian editor, who was committing what was subsequently agreed to be gross violations of WP:NPA and WP:CIVIL. Fuelled dispute by wilfully misrepresenting respected editors' positions to assist compatriot. Clique issues, and a potential to protect an errant compadre over basic good judgement. My experiences of Blnguyen have left me unconvinced that he is able to be a neutral arbitrator.--Zleitzen 13:13, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
9. Oppose-After review of the history of Blnguyen, I have reached the conclusion that he/she does not understand the concept of WP:NPOV, and therefore is unqualified to serve on the Arbcom. BruceHallman 15:38, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

21. Opposing solely per statement--I don't understand what this sentence means: I strongly believe in the use of tailored remedies, as everybody has different strengths, in order to retain the productive facets of editing, whilst restricting negative activity, with banning as a last resort. I also favour maximum transparency. It doesn't seem to follow from what came before, that being too slow to ban people encourages bad editing. Chick Bowen 21:26, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
