 * 17) I'm surprised to see myself saying this, considering that she just article banned me for a week, and I strongly disagree with her decision there.  But overall, I think she's got the best interests of the project in mind, and therefore I must Support. -- Levine2112  discuss 02:10, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
 * 18) Support. A very fair minded and savvy admin who seems to have the wisdom needed to be a referee, judge, and juror in the Committee. --  Fyslee  /  talk  05:40, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
 * 19) Given the candidate's lengthy history in dispute resolution I'd expect to see more opposers taking issue with Shell's performance as a dispute mediator.  The lack of criticism on these grounds, on top of her thoughtful answers, suggests to me she'd make a good and pretty impartial Arbitrator. --JayHenry (talk) 06:40, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

 * 6) Support based on existing work with the Mediation Committee; candidate has experience, appears to handle conflict resolution well, encouraging with praise, and supporting people to work toward a solution. I believe and trust the candidate's statement that she has a desire to help people and to help move the project forward.  SilkTork  *YES! 01:11, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

 * 13) Support, seems levelheaded and unlikely to try to create policy. Like the response that footnoted quotes overstepped, not so much that we should "ramp up" default to delete, but does not seem prepared to force such a measure. Seraphimblade Talk to me 05:34, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

 * 20) Support - I liked most of the answers to the questions (though I hope she'll take another, more critical, look at how consensus is working on this site, because I think she's mistaken in her belief that it's scaled well). I didn't find any of the opposes persuasive, especially in light of her specific commitments with regards to recusal. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 21:59, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

 * 28) Support Shell was amongst those about whose candidacies I did not take a voting position last year; my ambivalence persists this year, but I guess that I am persuaded that the candidate would prove a nice addition to the committee. Joe 07:34, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
