Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections January 2006/Vote/Doktorbuk

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Doktorbuk

I do not pretend to be high enough for every honour, for every place within Wiki, or for every role needed to ensure the project runs smoothly. I feel my short time here has already taught me how necessary it is to have time, effort and determination; but also a sense of fairness and understanding. Wiki is an ambitious - quite frankly over ambitious and complex in some regard - project, but one of great strength and repute. To keep the wheels turning and all users happy is a task worthy of the strongest person in both mind and spirit. Whether I am able to help and assist is not, as I place myself as a candidate in this election, a question I may be able to answer.

On-line all bets are off. Every trouble maker can cause havoc with edit wars, spamming and inaccurate information. I feel able to help to listen to all sides, to understand the frustration and weed out the vandals. I am a political person, having stood for election in the 'real world' before, so hearing both sides of an argument is second nature. Within this context, the challenge becomes harder but ultimately a challenge worthy of such an all-round project. We must work together to build this from the bottom-up; to be fair, free and focused, and not split into tiny groups of self-interested keyboard juries.

I am willing to give this experience a real shot. If I fail, and I think that is likely, I will continue to work as hard as possible to make all the articles here of the best possible standard. It is the least any determined Wiki user can do.

Questions

Support

1. Support. Strong edit history of consistent contributions since joining (even if "minor" checkbox is overused), seems level-headed.--ragesoss 00:59, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
2. Support Fred Bauder 05:38, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
3. Support. siafu 07:03, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
4. Support. --Kefalonia 09:24, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

   Support. Everyone is opposing on experience grounds, I'll be fair and support, only because I oppose this apparent 'club' mentality. --Constan69 01:07, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

   User has less than 150 edits and probably doesn't have suffrage. Flcelloguy (A note?) 02:21, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

5. Support.Limegreen 02:59, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

   Support. I know the man! He is a fountain of knowledge! Shaneo619 11:58, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

6. SupportWikityke 21:51, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
7. Weak support. Seems well adjusted, and balanced, based on responses to questions (see the questions link in the statement section). Slightly hesitant owing to lack of evidence of neutral editing (not that there is any counter evidence either). --Victim of signature fascism | help remove biblecruft 18:39, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
8. Support Jared 19:59, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
