Questions from Rschen7754
I use the answers to these questions to write my election guide. There is a large correlation between the answers to the questions and what the final result is in the guide, but I also consider other factors as well. Also, I may be asking about specific things outside the scope of ArbCom; your answers would be appreciated regardless.

The questions are similar to those I asked in 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012; if you've already answered them, feel free to borrow from those, but make sure the question has not been reworded.

 * I know, I've heard that idiom before. You might want to rephrase your question if you're not satisfied with the answer. Kraxler (talk) 21:51, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

Questions from Collect
I also use these questions in my voter guide, and the latter four were actually general questions asked in 2012, which I asked be used again.

Questions by Sven Manguard
I respectfully decline to answer any of your questions. As already stated at Gerda's question below, I refuse to review alone in 30 minutes what the full ArbCom decided after months of deliberations. Please believe that, as a political historian, I'm well versed in parliamentary practice and have seen the word "motion" before. Also, I have stated elsewhere already that I do value procedures less than evidence and actual deliberations; and that I abhor instruction creep. So there is no point to repeat all that over and over again. Kraxler (talk) 22:08, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

Questions by Gerda Arendt
Thank you for volunteering.

Good luck. I said before that I can live with my sanctions even if they don't make sense and are against my quality standards, that's not my point. I hope for arbs looking at facts. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:54, 21 November 2013 (UTC)

Question from Piotrus
(Note borrowed from Rschen7754): The questions are similar to those I asked in 2012. If you've already answered them, feel free to borrow from those, but make sure the question has not been reworded.

Question from User:HectorMoffet
The number of Active Editors on EnWP has been in decline since 2007.

This decline has been documented extensively:
 * In our own "Editor Trends Study"
 * In popular media ("Nobody wants to edit Wikipedia anymore")
 * In scholarly literature ("How Wikipedia’s reaction to popularity is causing its decline")

This raises several questions:

 * Poor Kraxler, you are obviously somewhat culturally improverished, missing both of those media icons. Never mind, haha. Aber, wie wundervoll mit dieser neuen Insekten! A highlight of that impressive source, it seems. Vielen Dank für Ihre gute Laune. Martinevans123 (talk) 19:10, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
