Arbitration is a job that requires a fairly hefty time commitment (this is not surprising or problematic, because Wikipedia is by some metrics the world's largest single source of information, and the project does need highly-dedicated volunteers who would make time commitments that would not be reasonable at less important sites or for less important organizations.) --
JayHenry (

Oppose: He may have had a Wikipedia account for a long time, but his editing pattern is a handful of sporadic edits followed by several months of inactivity. That's not a level of commitment to the encyclopedia remotely close to the standard to which we hold ArbCom candidates.
