Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections January 2006/Vote/Mailer diablo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mailer Diablo

I've been in Wikipedia for around a year, and I think it's time for me to allow myself to give back to the community more than the usual housekeeping work. I admit I'm relatively new when it comes to dispute resolution, but my candidacy is to allow myself to offer the best of my ability in the service of Wikipedia and her community, and nothing else.

I have seen a lot of changes in Wikipedia for the last year, but my fundamental principles of assuming good faith, keeping civil even in the worst of situations, and to give newcomers reasonable chances does not change. Just as always my actions, past or future, are open for scrutiny by anyone. If possible, I'd want to see more in reformative action than just punishment.

  61. Weak Support Don't know too much about this person, only voting because of the close race. The comments on the oppose section don't bring up any deal-breakers, and it looks like the candidate has lots of admin experience.

  35. Oppose. Candidate does not adequately address the nature of arbitration in their candidate statement. In ignorance: I must oppose. With so many candidates, the statement is the extent to which I can engage in becoming an informed voter. Any candidate so contemptuous of the demos as to make it difficult for me to become an informed voter: I must oppose, it bodes poorly for their capacity to take on social responsibility.
