My guide for the 2010 Arbitration Committee (ArbCom) Elections is now complete, I may make small adjustments based on further research. I have argued at Wikipedia talk:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2010 against guides that are linked from the election template and hosted on an individual's userpage. However, unsurprisingly guide publishers came out quickly to support the status quo so I felt I needed to produce a guide to even out the influence of the established insiders and give the opinions of a less well established editor but still one with some experience. So here it is.

Weak weak weak
A dizzyingly weak field of candidates to date. Come on step up to the plate. I'd do it myself if I thought I stood a chance (which I do not).

Okay slightly stronger now the nominations are finished but with 11 places to fill there are very clearly not anywhere near 11 strong candidates. I plead with all users to only vote for the cream of the crop. DO NOT BE TEMPTED TO VOTE FOR MEDIOCRITY OR LESS. Arbcom is not a place for people keeping seats warm. It is exactly those seat-warmers who have done the worst damage in the past.

The low down
Disclaimer. These are my thoughts and my thoughts alone. You may wish to read them and may agree or disagree as the mood takes you.

I have tried to assess candidates on their past actions and have given little or no weight to the election questions.
