I'm the unknown 3rd party. Vote for me if you're disillusioned.

I think that Arbcom has become too slow and bloated in the last year. Cases are piling up and waiting months for a final verdict. People are being driven away by the inefficiency. If I am voted to Arbcom, I'd try to speed things along. I hate trolls, and like long walks on the beach. I am against banning except in extreme circumstances or for repeat offenders. I think that a first offense should not be banned for, only for problem users or extreme trolls. Luigi30 (Ταλκ) 03:16, 5 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Questions and comments

Some questions being asked of all the candidates by jguk

Q: How old are you and what do you do? (If student, please state what subjects you are studying.)

A: 15, sophomore in high school.

Q: How many hours a month do you think you will need to be a good Arbitrator and are you really willing to put in the time?

A: To be a good arbitrator, you need to spend a lot of time arbitrating. However long it takes to make sure you've got all the facts, all the evidence, and all the truths sorted from the lies is how many hours one needs to do it effectively. And yes, I will take the time.

Q: If chosen, you will need to arbitrate on disputes arising from the creation or revision of articles. Experience of creating and revising articles yourself, particularly where it has involved collaboration, is very valuable in understanding the mindset of disputants who come to arbitration. With reference to your own edits in the main article namespace, please demonstrate why you think you have the right experience to be a good arbitrator.

A: I've got a knack for sorting out disputes, keeping everyone happy, spotting details buried under filler, etc. Experience in doing all of the above is important for arbitration. You have to keep both sides happy while doing what has to be done.

Q: Please list out what other Wikipedia usernames you have edited under.

A: None.

Request from Dragons flight

Arbcom is overworked and no fun. Please review these discussions: [1][2] [3] Come up with a short list of suggestions for ways you would endorse for improving the arbitration process. Bonus points for actually managing to create new policy. Dragons flight 07:59, 11 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
