[edit] Swatjester

My name is Dan Rosenthal, user User:Swatjester, and I would be an excellent choice for an Arbitrator. I have been an English Wikipedia editor since December 28, 2005 as an anon, and January 4, 2006 as a registered editor. In my time here, I've been promoted to administrator, accepted onto the Wikimedia Foundation Communications Committee (a.k.a. wmfcc/ComCom), OTRS, and from May 2007 through Sept. 2007, I served as a legal intern for the Wikimedia Foundation.

Arbitrators have to deal with sensitive matters and are given not only a public, but a private trust. I believe my time dealing with privileged material, such as OTRS legal complaints, and communications committee matters, shows that I can be trusted to have the information security required as an Arbitrator.

I'm also a law student, at American University in Washington D.C. I believe that this provides an interesting perspective of looking at things. Law school teaches one to think like a lawyer. It teaches one to draft solutions to often complex problems, to find broader principles from specific rulings, and to present arguments effectively and to the point.

I do NOT wish to bring the legal profession to Arbitration Committee cases. Law suits are slower than ArbCom cases. A recent case I've been following, a standard defamation case, was filed in July, and the "Evidence" (discovery) phase is not scheduled to end until January. In addition to expediency, Arbitration is simply not court. Though there is a panel of decision makers, similar to appellate courts in the United States, the Arbitration Committee is not usually bound by precedent, there is not an adversarial system of lawyers arguing, there are no complicated rules of civil procedure and evidence. It's a system unique to Wikipedia, and it deserves to be treated that way. I believe that I can make the Arbitration process faster, and in some cases more fair (for instance, recent cases have taken far longer than necessary due to lack of presence of some arbitrators, and some have been accepted, only to be later dismissed. While this is sometimes appropriate, other times it is not).

As a final word, I'm also familiar with the Arbitration process, and the stresses it entails. I've been a party in a couple of Arbitration cases, both as the requesting party, and as a requested against party. Arbitration creates a lot of stress on its participants, some would say in a manner similar to litigation, and I believe that it is important to have Arbitrators who understand what the parties are going through, and the causes that led them to that stage, rather than an aloof, distant decision maker.

  86. Strong oppose Seems like too much of an insider. ARBCOM should be composed of neutral folks. Ideally they should'nt even want to be ON it!Sukiari (talk)
  87. Oppose - I don't want anyone who thinks or acts like this anywhere near ArbCom. --CBD 12:20, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

  91. While I agree with his comment on Gentgreen, he should have never been involved as an current candidate, also CBD diff is very alarming and shows inexperience with the project, sorry This is a Secret account 23:52, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

  123. Oppose This RFC represents very poor judgement. Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Kmweber 2‎ I expect more common sense for Arb com members. David D. (Talk) 18:25, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

  127. Very regretfully. Swatjester endorsed a request for comment that said someone's participation in RfAs was a violation of Neutral Point of View. NPOV is as fundamental as it gets and we simply can't have arbs who do not understand basic policy or who endorse summaries that they've not actually read. --JayHenry (talk) 18:05, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

  134. Oppose despite WCL attendance (off-wiki, but I happen to know it's an impressive school). I am disturbed by this candidate's views and rationales on disenfranchising votes for admins and arbcom, as noted above by JayHenry with regards to Kmweber. Epthorn (talk) 14:52, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
  135. Oppose : Tendency to make mountains out of molehills. Too concerned about Gentgeen's votes here and Kmweber's votes at RFA. I did vote for some passionate candidates, but don't wish for an arbitrator to expend his passion on trifles. ---Sluzzelin talk 20:53, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
