Question from Snowspinner: the other side of the coin
Question from Snowspinner: remove stuttering "a"
Line 39:
The problem as I see it is that, if elected, you could be artitrating detailed, technical edit disputes amongst experts in their field. You would do this without any knowledge of how the article-editing process works, or of how disputes editing articles usually get resolved. Without that it's easy to perceive very small issues as big, or to miss the whole point of the dispute entirely. Your age means a lack of life experience, which just helps. The older you get the more arguments you see, your impression changes as you see some things dealt with better than others. Your perspective changes from the immediate to the longer term - which is important, as most editors going to ArbCom now are good editors making far more constructive edits to Wikipedia than your edit history shows you have ever done. The other problem your lack of article edits gives is that we cannot see how you would deal with a dispute yourself so have no real idea of how you'd react in given cases, [[User:Jguk|jguk]] 06:33, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 
:The other side of the coin regarding the qualifications of some of our young candidates is that the kind of 15-year-olds that spend their free time involving themselves in a a worthy community project like Wikipedia demonstrate themselves to be the promising leaders of their generation. I find it highly commendable that they already are seeking to serve in leadership roles. Good for them, and hopefully the Arbcom will include a cross-section that is representative of ALL our editors, including our younger diligent contributors. The young perspective is important too. --[[User:MPerel|<font color="#330000">M</font><font color="#334400">P</font><font color="#338800">er</font><font color="#33cc00">el </font>]]<sup><small>( [[user_talk:MPerel|<font color="#11bb00">talk</font>]] | [[Special:contributions/MPerel|<font color="3399FF">contrib</font>]])</small></sup> 00:02, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
