Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2006/Vote/Kirill Lokshin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Statement

I've been a Wikipedian since June 2005 and an admin since October of the same year; at one point or another, I think I've tried my hand at most of the more interesting activities on Wikipedia. (Most of my time is spent working here, if anyone is curious.) I've participated in a handful of ArbCom cases, both as an involved party and as a not-entirely-mute member of the peanut gallery.

Broadly speaking, I think the current ArbCom setup is more-or-less successful (aside, of course, from what seems to be a chronic lack of time on the part of the Arbitrators, and the resulting slow process). There has been a certain tendency, in some cases, to dodge the underlying problem in favor of a simpler superficial one, thus not really resolving the fundamental dispute; but this has been limited enough that it does not necessarily indicate a harmful trend.

Aside from that, I won't descend into any obscenely long ruminations on wiki-philosophical issues here; if anyone is interested in my opinion on something in particular, please don't hesitate to ask!

  129. Support The success of the military history wikiproject is in good measure due to Kirill. One of the most productive Wikipedians I know - not merely via his own history but for what he brings out in others. My only excuse for hesitating is that he's so useful in different areas I'd kind of rather not see arbitration eat up his wikitime. Yet if he wants it, let him go for it. I'm certain he'll be a credit to the committee. DurovaCharge! 21:09, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
