NSLE

This candidate has withdrawn from the race; please do not vote. This page is kept primarily for historical reasons. Thank you!

I am absolutely horrified at the way things have been going on Wikipedia recently, it's definitely not a good way to start the new year. I've been here just over three months, but am already an admin, and I feel that I am trusted by many editors to uphold a neutral view.

The ArbCom needs a fresh approach to things, and I feel I can bring that to the ArbCom. I'm willing to recuse from any ArbCom dispute I may happen to be involved in. The main things for me, no matter what the context, ArbCom or not, are civility and no personal attacks. I don't subscribe to ignoring all rules. I believe this view helps us build a constructive encyclopedia.

Banning should be undertaken preferably only when the editor is found to be disruptive and it is certain that he/she will not make any sort of useful contributions. However, if a user has made good contributions but has a case up at ArbCom that may need banning for the first time, I'm willing to give the user a second chance.

Questions

Withdrawal

Thanks to all who took the time to vote, but I think it's time for a withdrawal as this isn't going anywhere (having hovered around 1/3rd support for about a week). NSLE (T+C) 07:30, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
