Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2006/Vote/FloNight

Statement
The Arbitration Committee exists to settle disputes that the community can not resolve on its own. For this reason the Arbitration Committee is essential for helping the Wikipedia community achieve its purpose of creating a free encyclopedia.

I would like the opportunity to assist the community towards meeting this goal by working as an Arbitrator. I've been an editor since September 2005, an Administrator since May 2006, and an Arbitration Committee Clerk since August 2006. I also answer OTRS queries for the Wikimedia Foundation. I have knowledge of Wikipedia culture and policy as well as time to do the job well. I am easily approachable, will listen to all sides of the dispute, and will strive to find the best solution for the Wikipedia community. FloNight 00:02, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

 * 7) Per above ... (update on 6 Dec at 17:33, 6 December 2006 (UTC): Some of the opposes suggesting she'd be partial to friends confuse me. Flo has 20 years experience as a professional in a field where a strict patient confidentiality and bedside manner is required, and I'm just not seeing evidence that she has shown favouritism to friends. There are, unfortunately, some editors here that DO show such favouritism, some egregiously so, to the point of being blind to the faults of their friends, but I'm not seeing it with FloNight at all... Further, I'm sure she would recuse herself at any reasonable suggestion of conflict of interest anyway ) ++Lar: t/c 00:31, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

 * 21) Strongest possible support - If only one of the candidates I favor actually makes it into the committee, I hope Flo is that editor. I've had involvement at three arbitration cases so far - four if the Jason Gastrich case counts - and my interactions with Flo as a clerk have been uniformly positive.  She's diplomatic and cordial under the most trying circumstances.  This woman is so level-headed she could probably balance a book atop her cranium as she strolled through a hailstorm. <font face="Verdana"> Durova Charg e!  20:55, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

The fact that's she's helpful, patient, and kind hasn't prevented her from kicking my ass when it's been warranted; knowing as much as been given me to know of her, I think its scurrilous to maintain that she'd play favorites.

I hope, once elected, she will deliberately seek opportunities to avoid even the appearance of conflict of interest for the sake of the ArbCom and Wikipedia. Thesmothete 19:17, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Oppose at this time. Candidate is qualified, but 3 years + clerkship is too long to be associated with ArbCom withotu a break. Jd2718 05:30, 4 December 2006 (UTC) &mdash;&mdash;  That was clear as mud, sorry. Would prefer that no one be associated with ArbCom for more than 3 years, without a break (would support term limits, to include clerking time, if that were an option) Jd2718 11:20, 4 December 2006 (UTC) Changing stance to neutral. Still concerned about association with ArbCom extending beyond 3 years, but would rather talk about it than hold a vote hostage. Jd2718 18:23, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) Very weak oppose Although Flo's altogether agreeable demeanor disposes me to support, and although I find her writing to be well-reasoned even as I often disagree with her views, such that I expect that the thinking underlying her ArbCom work should be quite sound, I must admit that I share Cyde's concern and thus can't offer my support.  Joe 06:17, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * 2) Oppose per Cyde.  CJCurrie 06:38, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose per Jd2718, I too am worried about potential burnout. Keep the clerks job... I'd rather have a competant clerk than a burnt out arbitrator.  ALKIVAR &trade; &#x2622; 07:41, 4 December 2006 (UTC) changed to neutral.

 * 5) Oppose She tried to help resolve a dispute in which I was involved but seemed rather condescending and uninformed&mdash;not desirable traits for an arbitrator. Also, she has a large group of "wiki-friends," which could prevent her from carrying out her duties effectively and impartially.  In fact, in the aforementioned dispute she tried to mediate, she was collaborating with one of her friends more than the disputing parties, I felt.  Overall, she's a very kind editor, but lacks the professionalism for the job. -- WGee 06:52, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
