Just one comment, without having resaerch the candidate properly: he is writing superbly well. Wow. He makes native speakers look bad. :-) Tony (talk) 09:17, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

Question 15

Thanks for your reply, Hahc21. Unfortunately, I can not support an ArbCom candidate who creates copyright violations and lets them linger (or worse, promotes them as GAs and uses them as evidence of their best work in their RFA attempt) even after the issues have been pointed out and you were clearly aware of them.

You now state that "However, I still believed that I was unable to paraphrase the sources, and so I topped working on these articles. Yes, the castle articles were a very unhappy exception, and I was extremely embarrased about it mostly because I felt I was unable to fix it alone.", which not only doesn't match your use of it in your RFA nomination, but also is not the way to deal with copyright violations. If you create an article where you afterwards realise that you are "unable to paraphrase the sources", you should have asked for its deletion yourself. The initial creation may have been nearly two years ago, but the result was here until today. Fram (talk) 14:19, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

I respect your position with regards to the election, but I strongly disagree with your assessment that I "create copyright violations and lets them linger." Since this is a two-year old matter (in which several users weighted in and helped, and after which I learned and fixed my mistakes) I don't see why I should go back and discuss it once more. Most of my featured articles came after that embarassing event, and you can feel free to go and check them all. → Call me Hahc21 14:39, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

If you had fixed your mistakes, I wouldn't have deleted the article. You did not fix your mistakes. You may not have repeated them in later creations (only six of those, I believe) or edits. I don't expect you to "go back and discuss it once more", I expect you to go back and get it deleted. If this was an RfA, I would now change my !vote to Strong oppose.

I completely forgot about those articles after I stopped working on them. That's the reason why they still stood until today. → Call me Hahc21 15:09, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
