''Do you believe that regardless of Jimbo Wales' own views on the matter, the community should be able to strip arbitrators of their position under certain circumstances, and if so, what circumstances?''

:Yes, I do believe that certain members of the ArbCom should be stripped of their status when they have been found to have passed an unfair judgement. This, in my opinion, should be decided through a [[Wikipedia:Ombudsman]]. This should be done through community consensus, similar to an RfC, but the standards of the review should be must higher and should involve Jimbo Wales.

''As a corollory:Do you believe, regardless of Jimbo Wales' view on the matter, that a large number of signatories (e.g. 150 requesting censure against 50 supporting the arbitrator) to an RFC against an arbitrator is enough that the arbitrator should be judged as having been rejected by the community in light of their actions, and consequently for them to be forcibly stripped of their post?''

:Yes. I think even 150 may be too much to ask (maybe 100:50 instead of 150:50). Basically, I think if it comes to an RfC against an arbitrator, and there are people who bring credible facts and proof that that arbitrator has acted inappropriately, he should be stripped of his or her function.

''[[WP:NPOV|wikipedia has a policy of NPOV]]. Excepting straw men, have you ever introduced a '''substantial''' opinion or fact that '''contradicts''' your own political or religious viewpoint into an article on a topic of which you have strong opinions, and if you have, how frequently do you do so compared to your other substatial edits to articles?''
