If I am voted to Arbcom, i'll do everything in my power to speed things along. I am against banning users unless they are a repeat offender or have defaced a page. I belive that has a general rule of thumb we should not ban someone for a first offense unless its an extreme situation.

Questions from -Ril-

Do you hold any strong political or religious opinions (e.g. concerning George Bush, Islam, or on which end you should break a boiled egg)? If so, would you recuse yourself from cases centred on these?
How willing are you to contest the decisions of other arbitrators rather than just "go with the flow"?
Do you view all requests to re-address cases, particularly requests made by those most penalised, as being automatically without merit?
In the case against Yuber, it was decided by the arbitration committee that it is the duty of arbitrators to investigate, and rule on the behaviour of not only one party involved, but all of them. Do you support this decision?

Answers to -Ril- questions

1. I don't hold any what I would call strong political or religious I do belive in gay marraige and that the war in Iraq was wrong, but I also look at the war and see the good that were trying to do and if our mission there helps bring Demorcay to there people then I guess our soilders lifes and our money were not spent in vain. I can and Will put aside my views on things and stay neutral.

2. If a ruleing looks unjust to me I would talk to other arbitrators and look into re-addressing that case,

3. Nope as of now I don't view all requests to re-address cases but if I am elected I will read more of them aka all.

4. Yes if people help someone deface articles or edit where they have been told not to then all people involved should be broght up

If there are any other questions please feel free to ask

Another question

What are your views of the proposed Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Code of Conduct and User Bill of Rights?

Awnsers to "Another question'

The Bill or rights and Arbitration Comitee code of conduct both look like good ideas, I think that there just common sence. --Kylehamilton 13:01, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Neutrality question and Censuring questions from -Ril-

(Being asked of all candidates)

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?

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?

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?

Recusal, Code of Conduct, Expansion

I am asking these questions of all candidates:

1. Do you pledge to abide by the proposed recusal guidelines at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Code of Conduct#Recusal?

2. Are there any parts of Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Code of Conduct that you do not agree with? If so, please describe in detail how you would improve them.

3. Will you please pledge to support expanding the number of seats on the Arbitration Committee? If not, how would you propose alleviating the present arbitration backlog?

4. Have you voted over at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections January 2006/Proposed modifications to rules? If not, why not? If so, please summarize your votes.

Thank you for your kind consideration of and answers to these questions. —James S. 06:41, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
