Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2006/Vote/Flcelloguy
Statement
[edit]Hello! The Arbitration Committee, the final step in our dispute resolution process, is a critical and integral part of Wikipedia, and I humbly offer myself as a candidate for these elections. I’ve been here since May 2005, and was promoted to admin in August of that year. My contributions to Wikipedia (currently at 14,000 edits, although I give little value to edit counts) span a breadth of topics: from writing and contributing to the encyclopedia to helping newcomers to performing administrative tasks, I’ve always been dedicated to this wonderful project.
I’ve also had significant experience in our dispute resolution processes. I’ve been a member of the Mediation Committee, one of the key steps prior to arbitration, since September 2005 and am now one of the longest-serving active mediators. Seeing disputes firsthand and attempting to mediate the cases has provided me with invaluable experience, and will allow me to serve as Arbitrator more efficiently and with more judgment. I’ve also followed the activities of the Arbitration Committee closely, providing evidence in several cases. I also wrote the entire series about the Arbitration Committee and the elections for the Wikipedia Signpost’s series on the January 2006 ArbCom elections; articles covered everything from the history of the ArbCom, criticism of the committee, reform attempts, to duties and requirements of ArbCom members. During the series I also interviewed most of the ArbCom members. Conducting these interviews, along with researching and writing the series, has provided me with a keen and unique perspective about the ArbCom.
My experience is not limited to dispute resolution, though. I’ve nominated several featured articles and pictures, and created and improved countless others. I’ve also served the community in other capacities: I’ve written nearly 100 articles for the Signpost since August 2005, am on the OTRS team, am a Meta admin, and also am on the Communication Committee’s Internal Subcommittee, responsible for being a liaison for the community to the Foundation and vice versa. I’ve always been of the community, and will always be for the community.
My platform is simple: I will always listen closely to everyone, carefully consider all the options, and do whatever is best for the encyclopedia. Ultimately, the duty of the ArbCom is to improve the encyclopedia, and I will always keep that priority first.
It has been a great honor and privilege serving the community, and I look forward to continuing to serve.

- Oppose, there seems pressure to jump on the bandwagon to support, but I'm not impressed by this candidate. HGB 07:54, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
- To be honest all the candidates that I've looked at answer questions similarly. Which doesn't really surprise me, the only things that ideal for the candidate is to have good intentions and an open mind other then that it's pretty hard to screw this up.Mike92591 20:59, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

- Oppose cadidate seems to miss the nuances associated with NPOV, in particular, that in science-related articles NPOV can be gamed to create a less-reliable encyclopedia. Answer to the question regarding SPOV took an article-by-article stance on the subject rather than addressing the more particular question of whether science-related articles should be tied to the scientific consensus on the matter. Such an oversight is a feature that concerns me for someone seeking to be an arbitrator. --ScienceApologist 16:19, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
