Preface
As others have noted there are not enough good (or even acceptable) candidates to fill all the vacant slots. So this election promises an exciting and drama-filled aftermath.

Below I direct how you must vote. A brief explanation of priorities:


 * Returning arbitrators: My default position for current or past arbitrators seeking re-election is Oppose. The committee benefits from fresh perspectives. While this is my default position it is not a strict rule.


 * Criteria: The trend toward professional Wikipoliticians who contribute little of substance is a bad sign. Candidates who do not have significant records of content creation (not necessarily Featured Articles or Good Articles) have no business making decisions that affect those who do.


 * Comments, questions, and complaints: If you want to comment on any of my evaluations by all means go ahead and do so on this page's Talk. In particular, if you're a candidate and want to clarify or dispute something feel free to say your bit. If I don't respond please don't take it as a lack of interest -- sometimes I'll simply let a rebuttal stand. The recommendations below are apt to shift around as I take others' views into account.

"Abstain" means either that I haven't yet looked closely at this candidate, or that I haven't yet determined whether to support, oppose, or abstain. I'm undecided which.

Full disclosure: for tactical reasons my actual votes may differ slightly from those listed below.
