Ruslik0[edit]

English[edit]

I have seen examples of poor usage of English from Ruslik frequently on Wikipedia, as can be seen from some of his answers on his candidacy page. This is a good one, criticising anothers (my) language[1]

"non-reasoning nay-saying is anti-Wikipedian" is not a good language.
— Ruslik

I think he lacks the skill to communicate with the efficacy required in ArbCom. HarryAlffa (talk) 17:38, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comprehension[edit]

Given that he was confused by the use of transitive property in this talk page[2]. What chance does he have of being able to handle any case that would come to ArbCom, as it is certain that they will be more complex than that simple question. HarryAlffa (talk) 17:38, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Why would either of these incidents impair his ability to perform the duties at ArbCom ? Can you cite anymore examples ? People make isolated mistakes. If his mental abilities are in question then it would take more than one example to establish it. The same would apply to his language skills. Thanks.--Adam in MO Talk 21:46, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Holy crap - he made a comprehension mistake and you're saying he's unable to be on ArbCom because of that? ceranthor 22:07, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. I'm glad you admit that it was a lack of comprehension. You are mistaken to call it a "mistake", implying it was done by accident. This was an error of understanding. He claims to be a theoretical physicist, he should not be so easily confused by the employment of transitive property in a question. The fact that he was is extremely troubling, for at least two reasons. He does not redeem himself in the rest of the talk page. HarryAlffa (talk) 13:38, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
