Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2006/Vote/UninvitedCompany

Statement
It has now been some years since I resigned my membership in the arbitration committee, and I think I'm ready to return. I have followed most of the arbitration cases brought in the meantime, and believe I can therefore provide consistency and continuity of decisionmaking. Most of my recent work (last six months or so) has been related to answering the Foundation's email, which has given me a new appreciation for the impact our articles make on the real world.

In general, I'm hoping that Wikipedians will offer their support to potential arbcom members based on their dedication to the project, judgment, and ability to keep cool -- not based on a platform. To the extent I can be said to have a platform, it is made up of these planks:
 * The arbcom should not be involved in legislating policy - that's for the community alone
 * Any reasonable means of speeding up the process should be adopted. Justice delayed is justice denied.
 * I believe that strong, good-faith contributors should continue to be given every opportunity to mend their ways. However, at present the arbcom is too lenient with troublemakers, especially those whose contributions are weak.  This is unfair to those Wikipedians who have to deal with troublemakers, who are targeted by them, and who share their editing interests.
 * While I believe that partial remedies such as "probation" and article bans do have a place, I think they are overused and detract from the sense of fairness for people who go to the trouble to bring a case.

 * 34) Oppose -- Response to SPOV question was so anti-science as to be ridiculous. The question was not "does science answer everything", the question was related to the SPOV issues related to controversies about science. This kind of answer makes me think that candidate will be a terrible accomodationist arbitrator, unable to make evaluations based on reliability or verifiability and will always fall back on personal prejudices. --ScienceApologist 17:24, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
 * 35) With great regret as UC is a nice person in person and I believe he means well. However his activism at Category:Administrators open to recall makes me concerned that he may not respect the views of admins that choose to voluntarily make themselves more accountable to their peers than is strictly required, and makes me concerned that he may not be an accurate judge of character, and is possibly prone to not assuming good faith. Also, per Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration_Committee_Elections_January_2006 I am not sure I trust his long term committment to, and vision of the ArbCom, or his ability to stay committed to the task. Perhaps we should take him at his word. ++Lar: t/c 17:11, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
