It's that time of year again...

Note that I'm looking for folks who have their eye on the main point of this whole enterprise - writing an encyclopedia. With that in mind, I want content contributions, or at least the concept that they support content contributors. If you're an admin or not really doesn't matter to me at all. In fact, NOT being an admin should be a requirement for at least one of the seats, quite honestly. I'm also looking for folks who don't get so wrapped up in enforcing civility or rules that they forget that first goal above, the writing of the encyclopedia. I don't want to have my work interrupted by idiots who don't know the first thing about subject matter but who seem to think that their opinion on some tangental matter should trump the folks in the trenches writing the content and dealing with the vandals.

To that end - I wish folks had at least 45-50% of their contributions to article space, unless they show a LOT of clue in supporting content creation. Stupid ruleslawyering or spending ages at ANI will not get you much support here. Well, that's a great goal, but no way can I just judge candidates on that ... because very few candidates meet that standard. And a few of the ones that do, are not otherwise qualified, at least in my eyes.

In line with the last few years, I'm much less likely to approve of folks who are hardline on civility, for example. Also note that I do not consider myself suited for ArbCom, I do not deal well with high stress situations nor do I have the tact required. Whether I think someone is suited for ArbCom has nothing to do with whether I think they are good contributors to the project in other means.

As a side note, feel free to drop me a note on my talk page if you wish to discuss any of these.

And this is number 14 of these things I've done. Good gods, I'm turning into an institution. Over a decade. Yikes.

 * No. Their "my way or the highway" approach to dispute resolution makes WP:DRN a rules-bound quagmire that is next to useless. There's a place for a non-admin on ArbCom, but Robert's not that non-admin. And frankly, not answering any questions 36 hours after they were placed is a REAL bad look.

 * Dennis, Cullen
 * THe above, plus the discussion with RoySmith and the conflict with JoeRoe (who, I will admit, is someone I don't always agree with)... makes the temperament very iffy for ArbCom. We've had "confrontational" and "issue-driven" committee members in the past and they usually don't work out well. (Rembember AlexShih? BuRob? Heh... I do.) Just too much temperament issues combined with too soon. We want deliberation and placidity on the committee, not confrontation.
