Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2006/Vote/Jpgordon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Statement

I'm here to be of service, as I was when I ran last time. I've been an editor since September of 2004 and an admin since November of that year. I feel I am particularly suited for participation on the Arbitration Committee due to my experience here, as well as my many years of experience with online community, first as sysop of my own BBS, and later as moderator of several high-traffic, high-profile conferences on The WELL. My strongest point, I think, is my ability to make impartial analyses of complicated situations; though I certainly have strong opinions in some areas, I'm able to set those opinions aside to work to help find solutions to human problems. I also pride myself on being able to recognize when a dispute exists primarily because one of the disputants wants a dispute.

  89. Support - I don't recall having ever seen this user around wikipedia. So I spent some time going thorugh his edit contributions : ) - Those from 2004 were civil, friendly, and in general, he seemed an eager, helpful wikipedian. I've noted over time, he's been more involved in heated debates and vandalism, and at times, tensions have been strained. I merely wish to remind him of something which he himself noted [1]. Otherwise, from what I can see, he would seem to be a good cantidate for the arbitration committee. - jc37 18:10, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

  2. Oppose. Everyking 08:27, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  3. Strong oppose. Too pro disciplinary blocks, notwithstanding their impact in users' reputations. --Sugaar 10:51, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  4. Oppose (based on answers to my questions). He seems good as an admin, but per my questions, he seems really hivemindy. Anomo 14:29, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  5. Oppose. Regularly reverts with no edit summary or discussion. Incivility. See his answers to my campaign question last election. Supportive of editors who commit race-based personal attacks. Wikistalking. It is a sure thing he will be elected, my hope is that with additional responsibility will come maturity. Justforasecond 21:25, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
  6. Oppose. Looks good, but I found this answer "I'd stop allowing unregistered IPs to edit" as the one policy he would abolish disturbing. It's more than a policy, it's a pillar. —Doug Bell talk 01:16, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
  7. Oppose strongly take issue with this person's views against editing from unregistered IPs Dragomiloff 01:39, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
  8. Oppose per "ArbCom primarily shaping the social policy on Wikipedia", I would prefer policy written by the community implented by ArbCom. Addhoc 11:16, 6 December 2006 (UTC) Ok, so his comment has been reworded, however he is still too pro disciplinary blocks and group-think... Addhoc 13:10, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
  9. Oppose, for two reasons: 1) the importance of unregistered users cannot be overstated. 2) the ArbCom does not shape policy; the community does. The ArbCom are servants of the community, nothing more (and nothing less). -- Schnee (cheeks clone) 15:49, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
    Second point's been cleared up, but the first still stands. -- Schnee (cheeks clone) 19:44, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

  11. Disapprove on behalf of the unregistered horde that writes so much of our content. Abu-Fool Danyal ibn Amir al-Makhiri 04:26, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
  12. Oppose.MustTC 11:20, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
  13. Finger-wagging oppose - you are obviously going to pass the vote, and that won't be a tragedy, but I strongly advise researching who actually adds most of useful content to the encyclopedia, as well as how most of our best editors became editors in the first place. Randomly banning 80% of admins would do less damage to the project than preventing anon editing. Zocky | picture popups 13:00, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
  14. Oppose. This candidate is still somewhat quick-to-the-gun in decisionmaking to be given an arbcom role. Perhaps a demonstration of a bit more tolerance with new and anon users, as well as more patience in working with difficult editors, would make this candidate a more suitable arbcom member in the future. ... Kenosis 18:31, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
    Oppose per Abu, Addhoc and Kenosis. JoshuaZ 21:11, 7 December 2006 (UTC) After further thought I'm not sure this merits an oppose vote but the concerns are certainly too much for me to support. JoshuaZ 03:03, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
  15. Oppose. Per Doug Bell.--Dwaipayan (talk) 10:45, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
  16. Oppose per concerns addressed above RFerreira 03:28, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
  17. Oppose Per actions such as agreeing with statement "Jews are superior to gentiles." [[2]] or making inflammatory statements such as "Jew-haters get short shrift on Wikipedia. Get used to it." [[3]] "Not wanting input from Jew-haters into Jewish-related articles..." [[4]] Sarastro777 07:21, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
    Comments moved to the talkpage. Picaroon9288 03:06, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
  18. Oppose Statement not convincing; nothing to indicate that the candidate would be an effective arbitrator. Experiences as a BBS sysop and a forums moderator are not indications of this. Alan Pascoe 12:13, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
  19. Oppose due to incivility I have witnessed. A very aggressive editor I am surprised to see nominated here. Politically partisan. --SandyDancer 15:38, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
  20. Per above concerns (especially IP editing). --- RockMFR 06:04, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

  22. OPPOSE as per Zocky & Kenosis VirtualSteve 08:29, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
  23. I found I had a reasonably strong disagreement with several of the answers you provided to questions asked of you, including one from AnonEMouse and one from Mailer Diablo. Picaroon9288 22:45, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
  24. Oppose per SandyDancer & Kenosis. No offense, JP, you seem like a good person and a tolerable admin. However, JP can be a "Political partisan" as SandyDancer put it (see, for example, his past over-protective editing of the Jesse Jackson article).--WilliamThweatt 16:07, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

  27. Oppose weasely though surprisingly argumentative response to the SPOV question does not inspire confidence in candidate's abilities to adjudicate arbitration cases. --ScienceApologist 16:37, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

  28. Oppose Arbcom follows, it should not make, policy. Integrating IP edits is an important part of wikipedia. The people who abuse IP editting also abuse accounts. Stirling Newberry 10:36, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
