From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hello, I am Casliber (which happens to be an unspaced version of my real name) and have been editing since May 2006, and an admin since March 2007. I am nominating myself for arbcom as I feel I have some attributes which may be of benefit to wikipedia in difficult cases.

My main role is as a contributor and coordinator of (hopefully) quality content; wikipedia excels in its opportunity and use of collaborative editing. No man editor is an island and the skills in various areas of putting pen to paper (or digital equivalent) that I have improved on since I have been here I have been impressed and grateful for. I have spent most time in areas which make use of collaborative editing; Featured Article, DYK and (to a lesser extent) Good Article writing, as well as involvement with various wikiprojects (Fungi, Dinosaurs, Birds, D&D, medicine, some sports etc.), and have thought of ways of how to bring out the best in people with respect to article writing and improvement.

Now in my day job I am a psychiatrist and part of my job/role/skill-set/training etc. involves listening and watching and figuring out things like whether people are able to negotiate and collaborate with others, and if/how they can assume responsibility.

I figure experience in both of these areas may be useful in analysing difficult cases in how firmly to apply remedies or when to cut some slack in figuring out what is ultimately best for the 'pedia and how to get the best out of users.

Another point I'd like to make is that doctors generally shouldn't treat themselves or their families; the analogy here is arbcom. Many currently involved, and seeking to get elected have been involved for some time. This is a good thing and I fully support their involvement. However, I do think the committee may benefit from some experienced wikipedians who may not have been heavily involved and are hence more able to make objective observations and recommendations in some cases where arbcom members may be involved or a particular case is critical of some aspect integral to arbcom in some way.

Thus, if folks feel this is a benefit, I am happy to serve. If people feel all candidates should be heavily experienced, then so be it. Ask away.

His lack of familiarity with the issues before the committee does concern me, and I found it very strange that he set up a straw poll on the contents of his signature. But, on balance, a support.

  94. Strongest possible support. - The only negative that could possibly come from this person sitting on ArbCom would be a slightly lower article development level of activity. I think that's a reasonable tradeoff for such an obviously thoughtful and careful addition to the committee; contributing to a better environment on WP will necessarily attract more good editors. // roux    editor review09:43, 1 December 2008 (UTC) reply

    Oppose - Either 1) is unwilling to cast even the slightest amount of criticism towards potential future colleagues, or 2) takes a nice long while to answer questions, or 3) feels that the ArbCom has never made a mistake and has no thoughts on the ArbCom RFC. So, the candidate, for all his wonderful mainspace qualities (and there are lots!) is either 1) political to a fault, 2) a bit too prone to C68-SV-FM style inactivity, or 3) brain damaged. The mainspace contributions should rule out possibility #3, which leaves what is likely a mixture of #1 and #2. Neither of those possibilities are compatible with a seat on the already slow-moving, politics-besotted ArbCom.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hello, I am Casliber (which happens to be an unspaced version of my real name) and have been editing since May 2006, and an admin since March 2007. I am nominating myself for arbcom as I feel I have some attributes which may be of benefit to wikipedia in difficult cases.

My main role is as a contributor and coordinator of (hopefully) quality content; wikipedia excels in its opportunity and use of collaborative editing. No man editor is an island and the skills in various areas of putting pen to paper (or digital equivalent) that I have improved on since I have been here I have been impressed and grateful for. I have spent most time in areas which make use of collaborative editing; Featured Article, DYK and (to a lesser extent) Good Article writing, as well as involvement with various wikiprojects (Fungi, Dinosaurs, Birds, D&D, medicine, some sports etc.), and have thought of ways of how to bring out the best in people with respect to article writing and improvement.

Now in my day job I am a psychiatrist and part of my job/role/skill-set/training etc. involves listening and watching and figuring out things like whether people are able to negotiate and collaborate with others, and if/how they can assume responsibility.

I figure experience in both of these areas may be useful in analysing difficult cases in how firmly to apply remedies or when to cut some slack in figuring out what is ultimately best for the 'pedia and how to get the best out of users.

Another point I'd like to make is that doctors generally shouldn't treat themselves or their families; the analogy here is arbcom. Many currently involved, and seeking to get elected have been involved for some time. This is a good thing and I fully support their involvement. However, I do think the committee may benefit from some experienced wikipedians who may not have been heavily involved and are hence more able to make objective observations and recommendations in some cases where arbcom members may be involved or a particular case is critical of some aspect integral to arbcom in some way.

Thus, if folks feel this is a benefit, I am happy to serve. If people feel all candidates should be heavily experienced, then so be it. Ask away.

A lack of directness in a few responses may be an issue, but I am trusting that this user will make attempts to resolve this concern with time. At the conclusion of my analysis, I ranked this candidate somewhere in the top 8. Support. Ncmvocalist ( talk) 10:56, 12 December 2008 (UTC) reply

  346. Support. Looks pretty good, although I would have like to see more decisive answers and stands on some controversial issues. It seems clear that you will be elected to ArbCom. While serving there, please remember that ArbCom is there to resolve disputes, usually the most nasty and unpleasant ones. This means that often pretty decisive measures will be needed, and a fireside chat with the concerned parties will usually not be sufficient. Nsk92 ( talk) 01:57, 13 December 2008 (UTC) reply

    Oppose - Either 1) is unwilling to cast even the slightest amount of criticism towards potential future colleagues, or 2) takes a nice long while to answer questions, or 3) feels that the ArbCom has never made a mistake and has no thoughts on the ArbCom RFC. So, the candidate, for all his wonderful mainspace qualities (and there are lots!) is either 1) political to a fault, 2) a bit too prone to C68-SV-FM style inactivity, or 3) brain damaged. The mainspace contributions should rule out possibility #3, which leaves what is likely a mixture of #1 and #2. Neither of those possibilities are compatible with a seat on the already slow-moving, politics-besotted ArbCom.

    This is my first oppose in the two ArbCom elections for which I've been eligible, and I hate to register it, but (since it won't matter anyway) this candidate is simply too congenitally noncommittal to be an effective member of the committee.

  31. Oppose, as an assigned mentor of a serial harasser, I don't think it would be appropriate for Casliber to be an arbitrator in the least.
