2008 Arbitration Committee Election status

Jdforrester

I'm now coming to the end of my fifth year as an Arbitrator, having helped found the Committee in 2003/4. I've decided to stand again because I believe it is what I am best at providing to the enwiki community, and, more importantly, that this is of value over and above that which some/many others would provide. Necessarily, in the five years I've been working on and around the Committee, I have given a number of people reasons to take a dislike to me, to find something I've said or done, or some position I've held, with which to disagree. Further, I can understand - and empathize with - those who think that it's time for a change, that long-serving Arbitrators are part of the problem, having habituated ourselves and our working practices to the processes as we've developed them. It is inappropriate for me to comment on the validity of those concerns; that's the community's rôle, and reasonably so. Indeed, I do not expect to be given the community's support; nevertheless, I ask it, and welcome any and all questions.
Voting in this election is now closed.
Any votes cast after 00:00 15 December 2008 (UTC) will be reverted.

Oppose

  1. Oppose, although nothing personal: I have chosen a group of seven editors that will make the best new additions to ArbCom, reflecting diversity in editing areas, users who will work well together, as well as some differing viewpoints.--Maxim(talk) 00:03, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
  2. Oppose. Rschen7754 (T C) 00:04, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
  3. Nufy8 (talk) 00:04, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
  4. A failure to take any accountability for the issues with the IRC which he helps administer and a lack of content contributions. Cla68 (talk) 00:08, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
  5. Many reasons. ~the editorofthewiki ~ 00:31, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

  19. Strong oppose, per SandyGeorgia's reasoning. In his last term, JDF described two parties as "valued contributors" while explicitly refusing to describe a third party as "valued". Unfortunately, the two parties James "valued" both went on to be desysopped for misuse of their tools, while the party James refused to value remains one of our top FA contributors. James had reasons, but obviously, his values and my values differ. --Alecmconroy (talk) 01:11, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
  20. Mr.Z-man 01:13, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
  21. Per reasons above. —Locke Cole • t • c 01:14, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
  22. Mostly concerns about level of activity, which makes it difficult to really draw a firm conclusion on him other than that I would like someone more actively and obviously involved. Avruch 01:15, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
  23. Sorry, but I will have to oppose. Ottava Rima (talk) 01:15, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
  24. New blood needed. Gimmetrow 01:16, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
  25. IRC concerns have not been satisfied to the community's satisfaction, nor mine for that matter. Titoxd 01:19, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
  26. There are a lot of suitable candidates, and fresh perspectives are desirable; thanks for being willing to serve another term. John Vandenberg 01:22, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

  33. Nothing personal, but if you don't have the time, you shouldn't be running again. Mike H. Fierce! 02:00, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
  34. Inactivity is not what the committee needs. Agne/ 02:02, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
