This candidate has withdrawn from the race; please do not vote.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

I am a Wikipedian since January 28, 2005, and I have some knowledge about ArbCom. The ArbComm is a place for the final stage of dispute resolution. I have made around 2500 edits as of January 6 2006. I do apologise for my late application for the elections.

The Arbitration Committee has done a far satisfactory job, but it can be much better. I would revamp the ArbCom from what it is like now. Arbitration is the final and worst way to solve a dispute. The ArbCom can be improved by having more arbitrators than now, as it will come to a concensus faster than what it is now. Some can take as long as three months, which I feel is a total waste of time. If I am elected as an arbitrator, I will help to come to a decision faster. The Arbitration Committee should cooporate to agree on the decisons. The committee needs a more cooporative effort than what it is now. Current members take quite some time to vote on the proposed decisions on that particular user and those involved.

I find edit wars quite disruptive, and I am strongly against vandalism. Other ways of solving a dispute, maybe using Mediation. I would have a fair view and see what is the best to solve the dispute. Blocking users should be done for those who have make a disruptive enviornment to Wikipedia. Civility is a must for all editors, I do not like personal attacks at all as this is a community, not a battleground. Banning should be done on very disruptive editors, and those who are vandals. I believe banning should be done on very serious cases. If not, a probation for sometime, or a month's block. --Terence Ong Talk 17:20, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Questions

Withdrawal

I would like to withdraw from this election, as I feel that I am not experienced enough and some have said of my age. In ArbCom, this two things are the key points. I will do other things on Wikipedia instead. For those who supported me, thank you for voting and I'm sorry about the time you've wasted. --Terence Ong Talk 14:27, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

On second thoughts, I'm not withdrawing. --Terence Ong Talk 14:51, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

    Rationale should not be because of age, but experience. Just thought I'd comment. Age is often linked, but never a real indictator of true ability. Elle vécut heureusement toujours dorénavant (Be eudaimonic!) 07:03, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

  29. Oppose - just. Shows an astounding amount of knowledge and skill for a 13-year-old, but still, it's too young to be able to ArbCom, and too little experience. Jamyskis Whisper, Contribs Germany 11:53, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
