Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2006/Vote/Will Beback

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Statement

The Arbcom should provide predictable and prompt decisions that further the mission of writing a free encylopedia. Along with the AN/I, mediation committees, community forums, etc, the ArbCom exists to keep disputes and other problems from impeding the project. The ArbCom needs members who are fair, trusted, active, and solution-oriented.

To the ArbCom I'd bring the dedication that I've demonstrated over the past two years. I've edited more than 8,000 unique pages across a broad range of topics, including some of the least popular, and am among the 50 most active editors. Through it all I've maintained good humor and focus. I'm offering to devote all of that time and energy to ArbCom matters.

Other candidates are more qualified to be ArbCom members than me and I'm honored to run with them. It's great that there are so many good applicants for this job and that's a credit to the project. I'm running only because I may possibly be the fifth-most qualified editor.

ArbCom agenda:

  • Transparency, integrity, and accountability.
  • Prompt responses
  • Shared decision drafting
  • Effective, enforceable remedies

ArbCom decisions should be:

  • Rare - a last resort.
  • Carefully decided - ArbCom decisions have major short- and long-term consequences.
  • Timely - some cases have dragged on so long that they seemed to prolong their disputes rather than settle them.
  • Modest - focused on individual behavioral problems as mch as possible.

Experience:

  • Active editing beginning: October 2004
  • Admin: June 2005
  • Mediator: January 2006 (inactive)
  • Times blocked: 0
  • Substantiated admin abuse claims: 0
  • Sanctions: admonished once by the ArbCom
  • Total edits: 43,961 (combined Will Beback + Willmcw/User2004 as of November 4, 2006 [1])

Some areas of involvement:

  • Places
  • Schools
  • New religious movements/cults
  • Immigration
  • Eugenics
  • Neo-nazism
  • Pedophilia/Child sex abuse

  50. Weak Support based on answers to my questions. There's a lot to ponder over with this guy and I know some people don't like him and I think some of the stuff he used to do that people didn't like of him he doesn't do anymore (like the following of people's contribs, but now that's so common even mentioing your name on IRC and somebody digs through and says "why were you blah blah? or made this edit?" and I think Will doesn't go through contribs like crazy anymore and is a good guy whereas now most wikipedia is doing that instead), although I didn't dig through his contribs to see what he does but mainly went from what I asked him and from them he seems diplomatic enough. Weak because he seemed not fully commital to a number of them. Anomo 14:06, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  51. Strong support. Will Beback contributes consistently high quality work as a content editor, often on contentious subjects, giving him an especially strong ability to stays focused on the goals of the project when acting as an administrator. Unfortuantely, many members of the governing bodies of Wikipedia and the administration lack his experience and expertise as a writer of articles. Will Beback will be an effective proponent on the arbcom. 172 | Talk 14:29, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

  131. Strong Support. I've witnessed the candidate's ability to remain amazingly cool, calm, and fair even when other editors are being completely unreasonable. One reason he's good at settling disputes is that no matter which side he lends support to, both sides respect his decision because they know he's being completely fair and not playing favorites. I recognize only one other candidate in the list, and I haven't seen nearly as much of that person's edits or discussion, so I can't compare this candidate to the others, but on the other hand, I can't imagine anyone seeming more fit for the job to me than this candidate. -MichaelBluejay 10:35, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

    I dislike this reaction by the candidate to the above-mentioned admonishment by the Committee, which seems insincere. If I am missing something else and evidence can be given to suggest that the incident was in fact resolved, I may reconsider. theProject 07:41, 4 December 2006 (UTC) —— I strike my reasoning and my vote, given the candidate's assurance (which I have no qualms believing) that said reaction was not intended in such fashion. theProject 02:53, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
