Hi! I'm candidating for the ArbCom because I believe in justice in Wikipedia and think I can bring about positive change as to the fairness of arbitration procedures. I have worked in mediation in the past (in real life), and also in various cases at both the English and Romanian Wikipedias. If I become an arbitrator, my most important consideration will be to look at both sides impartially and to guarantee that the rights of the accused are always upheld in the fairest way. I am a firm believed in dialogue, and I always aim to make sure that both sides understand very well what the dispute is about, since I believe that alienation and misunderstanding is the most significant and most dangerous root of conflict. It is only through true justice and transparency that we can bring about a better, more stable and more trustworthy Wikipedia community. Feel free to ask any questions on the questions page below.

Support. How could the account be created December 28? Edits go back before then.. (Confusion on my part:voter's account, not candidate's). Strong edit history, good statement.--

Support. Good experiences with this user on Wikinews. I trust him on a Wikimedia level, and that's enough for me to trust him on a Wikipedia level.--

Very Strong Support - I trust Ronline to be one of the best and good member of ArbCom. He is one of the most dedicated contributor to mediation conflicts. He is by far the best of them with a very warm, friendly attitude towards people. We trust him to be one of the best and fit for this position.

Support I'm concerned about Ronline's casting things in judicial terms, but like the mediation experience and the evenhanded tone in what discussions of his I've seen. --

OPPOSE. IT'S NOT ABOUT JUSTICE DAMMIT. It's about arbitration. You're not a crusader, you're not a policeman, or a vigilante. You help.

Oppose Quite simple, the candidate says: "the rights of the accused are always upheld in the fairest way". But I say "Arbitration is not a judicial system."
