From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I've been a Wikipedian since February 2004 and an admin since May 2004. As many know, I've at times been vocal in opposition to various things the ArbCom has done. Certainly I am a candidate who sees some problems, who feels strongly about them, and wants to change things a bit. My views on the ArbCom are, in fact, mixed: on the one hand, I see it as a useful and positive means of final dispute resolution in the community, and probably the best form of that; in general I favor increased ArbCom involvement in resolving matters, an expanded scope for the committee and ideally an expanded size to go along with that. On the other hand, of course, I have frequently had very strong disagreements with the ArbCom over matters of individual rulings against users. As regards banning, or any kind of strong penalty, my core philosophy, which I stated last year when I ran, is that the ArbCom needs to first and foremost consider a user's positive or negative impact on the encyclopedia, and not harshly penalize (or drive away or alienate) a user who is helping us out. Therefore I tend to take more liberal positions than the existing members of the ArbCom on these kinds of issues, because many or perhaps most of the people we have punished are good users in general. Furthermore, the ArbCom has to consider that its rulings and practices have a large impact on the Wikipedia culture in general. The community comes to reflect the attitudes and approaches of the ArbCom. Therefore the ArbCom needs to be a lot like what we want the community to be: open (favor public discussion over private mailing lists and IRC rooms, and invite community input), sympathetic, and concerned with erring on the side of caution. In looking at cases, it needs to prioritize encyclopedia work over personality feuds, and think of how a case can end beneficially, or at least with no loss, for everybody involved, if possible—how can a case be treated in a positive way, with an eye to reconciliation and harmony between users and productive editing, as opposed to a purely punitive approach? Even if you can't achieve this, you can usually get something close to it. There also has to be a concern with simple pragmatism, with what is actually going to work in fixing a specific problem. Wikipedia doesn't have a jail; we frequently go through hell trying to enforce rulings that are highly questionable to begin with, and leave bitter feelings all around. I'd like to move towards a change in attitude and approach, something more inclusive in process and open in outlook. Everyking 08:09, 9 October 2005 (UTC) reply

  1. He recently stated that he will start focusing on creating more featured articles, and Arbcom would only get in the way of that. — 0918 BRIAN • 2006-01-9 02:50
  2. Everyking was the first admin I've ever encountered at Wikipedia, he was very helpful in what he does as an administrator, because of this I cannot give an "oppose" vote. However, with his experience with the ArbCom, I cannot give a "support" vote either. Maybe next time. -- LBMixPro <Sp e ak|on|it!> 06:23, 9 January 2006 (UTC) reply
  3. I have concerns about his actions at times. But Everyking is a good editor whom I can't flat-out oppose- he's great at being an administrator. Neutral this time. Ral315 (talk) 19:19, 10 January 2006 (UTC) reply
  4. Agree with much of candidate statement, but tendency towards confrontation in past disputes gives me doubts about suitabilty for arbitrator role, so settled on Neutral. CarbonCopy (talk) 20:11, 10 January 2006 (UTC) reply
  5. I agree with the statements. I don't have a problem with Everyking's being under restrictions imposed by his recent ArbCom case. However, I think that if one runs for the ArbCom, one should take more time in following their decisions in one's own case to the letter as much as possible. To those voting against, though, I wonder if you folks have noticed a support vote from User:Fred Bauder, one of the longest serving and most experienced ArbCom members? -- BACbKA 22:36, 10 January 2006 (UTC) reply

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I've been a Wikipedian since February 2004 and an admin since May 2004. As many know, I've at times been vocal in opposition to various things the ArbCom has done. Certainly I am a candidate who sees some problems, who feels strongly about them, and wants to change things a bit. My views on the ArbCom are, in fact, mixed: on the one hand, I see it as a useful and positive means of final dispute resolution in the community, and probably the best form of that; in general I favor increased ArbCom involvement in resolving matters, an expanded scope for the committee and ideally an expanded size to go along with that. On the other hand, of course, I have frequently had very strong disagreements with the ArbCom over matters of individual rulings against users. As regards banning, or any kind of strong penalty, my core philosophy, which I stated last year when I ran, is that the ArbCom needs to first and foremost consider a user's positive or negative impact on the encyclopedia, and not harshly penalize (or drive away or alienate) a user who is helping us out. Therefore I tend to take more liberal positions than the existing members of the ArbCom on these kinds of issues, because many or perhaps most of the people we have punished are good users in general. Furthermore, the ArbCom has to consider that its rulings and practices have a large impact on the Wikipedia culture in general. The community comes to reflect the attitudes and approaches of the ArbCom. Therefore the ArbCom needs to be a lot like what we want the community to be: open (favor public discussion over private mailing lists and IRC rooms, and invite community input), sympathetic, and concerned with erring on the side of caution. In looking at cases, it needs to prioritize encyclopedia work over personality feuds, and think of how a case can end beneficially, or at least with no loss, for everybody involved, if possible—how can a case be treated in a positive way, with an eye to reconciliation and harmony between users and productive editing, as opposed to a purely punitive approach? Even if you can't achieve this, you can usually get something close to it. There also has to be a concern with simple pragmatism, with what is actually going to work in fixing a specific problem. Wikipedia doesn't have a jail; we frequently go through hell trying to enforce rulings that are highly questionable to begin with, and leave bitter feelings all around. I'd like to move towards a change in attitude and approach, something more inclusive in process and open in outlook. Everyking 08:09, 9 October 2005 (UTC) reply

Neutral

  1. He recently stated that he will start focusing on creating more featured articles, and Arbcom would only get in the way of that. — 0918 BRIAN • 2006-01-9 02:50
  2. Everyking was the first admin I've ever encountered at Wikipedia, he was very helpful in what he does as an administrator, because of this I cannot give an "oppose" vote. However, with his experience with the ArbCom, I cannot give a "support" vote either. Maybe next time. -- LBMixPro <Sp e ak|on|it!> 06:23, 9 January 2006 (UTC) reply
  3. I have concerns about his actions at times. But Everyking is a good editor whom I can't flat-out oppose- he's great at being an administrator. Neutral this time. Ral315 (talk) 19:19, 10 January 2006 (UTC) reply
  4. Agree with much of candidate statement, but tendency towards confrontation in past disputes gives me doubts about suitabilty for arbitrator role, so settled on Neutral. CarbonCopy (talk) 20:11, 10 January 2006 (UTC) reply
  5. I agree with the statements. I don't have a problem with Everyking's being under restrictions imposed by his recent ArbCom case. However, I think that if one runs for the ArbCom, one should take more time in following their decisions in one's own case to the letter as much as possible. To those voting against, though, I wonder if you folks have noticed a support vote from User:Fred Bauder, one of the longest serving and most experienced ArbCom members? -- BACbKA 22:36, 10 January 2006 (UTC) reply

  10. Neutral, appears to a worthy candidate as an arbitrator, honest in displaying all actions both negative and positive i would support the candidate but I find he needs to be more diplomatic in his approach to others, wikipedia could be adversely affected by his currently displayed communication techniques.
