You seem to have thrown your hat into the ring a week after the discussion page [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration_Committee_Elections_December_2005/Candidate_statements#Last_call warned] that anyone who wished to be considered for ArbCom should list himself '''"immediately."''' Were you aware that the "race" had essentially been declared closed before you entered yourself into it? Has the "race" been re-openned without an announcement? Has some special consideration been made for your candidacy, and if this is the case, do you know why it was made? [[User:Marsden|Marsden]] 01:02, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
:I was approached a while ago by Kelly Martin befoe the newest round of clarifications by Jimbo. At the time, it appeared that the candidate statements would be irrelevant. Since I felt I did not really want to seek the position, but would not refuse if Jimbo or the other arbitrators felt I was reasonable enough to offer, I decided not to list a candidacy, but just wait and see. This was about the same time some other candidates were withdrawing because they didn't think the statements had any clear purpose. As the mood changed and the announcement to list immediately was made, I was still wary of ''seeking'' the position, so I decided to hold off. I decided to list myself only yesterday after I had a talk with Mindspillage, and became convinced that I might as well make a statement, especially as I think I may not be all that well-known (at least as much as some other candidates), so the community should havve a chance to get to know my. I guess since I'm listed anyway, it would have been better to have done so earlier, but I can't change that. I don't expect any speciat treatment; if it's too late, then it's too late. :) [[User:Dmcdevit|Dmcdevit]]·[[User talk:Dmcdevit|t]] 01:34, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for your response. You seem to have made a real fan in 129.82.30.53. ;) [[User:Marsden|Marsden]] 02:08, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
