[edit] Shell Kinney

There are two main reasons that I would be an asset to the Arbcom. First is my commitment to the Foundation's projects and the community that supports them. Second is my experience with Wikipedia, dispute resolution and OTRS.
I've been an editor since June 05 (my account name was previously Jareth) and an Admin since November 05. I started working on the now defunct Wikipedia helpdesk email shortly before becoming an administrator - when this closed, I was invited to volunteer at OTRS. While some of the answers to OTRS emails are simple, many involve research to resolve and all require delicate handling of disputes and a solid knowledge of policy.
The ArbCom needs members who can stay active and nimble even under the weight of a rather thankless job. Thank you for this opportunity. Shell babelfish 18:27, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
  • I apologize for the lateness of this addition, however, I chose to give the person time to correct their statement first. I did not at any time call another editor a cretin. The statement being referred to is in reference to a person who stalked, or encouraged the stalking of a number of Wikpiedia editors. Anyone who is not aware of the situation is welcome to email me for a full explanation. Shell babelfish 03:28, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

    Oppose. The candidate pushed with vigor for his fringe exclusionist interpretation of fairuse policy. This shows lack of concern for the encyclopedic content. The latter is a concern for holding the position of any influence in this project. --Irpen 00:34, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

  32. Oppose less robustly Of all the declared OTRS candidates, this is the one I would have most liked to support; my reasons for opposing do not prevent ever voting for an OTRS agent. But I cannot swallow what seems automatic desysopping for the reversal of any OTRS action, and the answer to Daniel's fourth question comes too close to that. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 05:32, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
  33. Oppose. She closed a deletion review in which she participated. [3]. Later, an uninvolved admin determined that the consensus was, in fact, the opposite of what Shell claimed.Antelan talk 06:11, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

  42. Strongly oppose. The same that last time: I and many other good faith editors had a terrible experience with Shell as administrator in the infamous White People article case, where she supported a disruptive editor (that was eventually banned but not without much grief and struggle) systematically. I don't think she has meditated about this or at least I have no indication of it. Also I am starting to become suspicious of her ambition and motivations. --Sugaar (talk) 01:09, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
