This candidate has withdrawn from the race; please do not vote. This page is kept primarily for historical reasons. Thank you!

I'm a relatively new user but very active within Wikipedia:WikiProject_Aircraft. The world is not black-and-white and I believe that some controversial and POV material does belong in an encyclopedia so long as the controversy or the point of view are clearly explained. I think Wikipedia arbitrators need to think like editors, not conflict mediators. A well-written explanation of controversial points of view will add depth to the article. I absolutely draw the line at all hate/racist material however, free speech be damned.

I feel the Wikipedia banning guidelines are entirely too lenient and thus I would be content to work without admin priveleges.

  48. Oppose as per Kingboyk. I also feel that the experience you do have is a bit limited in terms of the bredth of subject areas on Wikipedia. While this is no problem for an editor, imho an arbitrator needs to be able to take a wider view. Thryduulf 13:24, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  57. Oppose While the candidate statement addresses the nature of arbitration, the candidate does so in a manner I disagree with.
