User:Lar/ACE2008

Introduction
Herewith my thoughts on the 2008 ArbComm elections. I am now in the process of evaluating all candidates. If you have comments you are welcome to make them on either the talk page for this page, or on my main talk page. You should do your own research, don't go by what I think, but in case you were wondering what I thought, there you are.

This was generated and there may be some small bugs in the edit count link for people with spaces in their names, you'll have to fix them yourself. Also some of the information here is drawn from, and duplicates, User:MBisanz/ACE2008 (with thanks).

Note: If you want to make one of these for yourself you're welcome to crib from this. I used a row template to help out. Technical issues with it should be raised on its talk page: User talk:Lar/ACE2008/row.

On the choices
First... these are my choices. Yours should be based on your own mind, but if I'm able to help, great. Also, although there are 7 slots, my final votes may support more, or less, than 7 people. If I support them, it means I'd be happy to see them on. So what's the difference between a support and a strong support or an oppose or a strong oppose? Just that the strongs are... well... more strongly felt, and I'd be more likely to actively try to sway you to agree with me, if we happened to meet over beers or whatever. But do as you like. The fate of the free world probably does NOT depend on this outcome.

Next: If you want to discuss or debate my choices with me, I'd be happy to do so, use the talk page of this page: User talk:Lar/ACE2008. This is in my userspace, and while all pages belong to the community, that means that the way I do things (for example, if you post it, it's staying... you can line it out but not edit it away once you said it) goes unless you successfully MFD this page. See the top of my talk page for that.

Finally: Note that my analysis is based in large part on the answers to my questions, which I gave a great deal of thought to before posing them. Apparently I am not the only person who thought they were important, or cogent... see this thread on Wikipedia Review. I do not always agree with Kato about everything, but I find his analysis (of most of the issues anyway) and mine to be quite congruent.

Currently Running
This analysis is preliminary. When it isn't I'll say so.
