Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections January 2006/Vote/Golbez

Golbez
Hola. Me llamo Golbez. And no, I don't speak Spanish, so enough of that. I've been here since March '04, an admin since about Oct '04. I think the Arbitration process is one of great value to Wikipedia, but I think it could use a few changes. If the case is accepted, then clearly it has merit - thus, temporary injunctions should be more common. The process as a whole should be accelerated. I'd like to help with this, and improve my interaction with Wikipedia. I love this place, and think it has great potential, and I'd like to do anything I can to assist it in its goal of recording the sum of human knowledge. I would like to be on the Arbitration Committee to help with Wikipedia and help clean up after bad people, clear good people of poor accusations, and generally keep the cogs turning and well-greased.

I can only promise to look at every case with a purely neutral eye, or recuse myself. Good faith will always be assumed, but not projected. I don't know if I'm a huge force for change, except for the speed and safety issues I've already mentioned; I'm just someone who wants to help the project even more than I am now. I hope you'll consider me. Thank you. --Golbez 01:35, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Oppose. Tendancy to be abrasive is right. Has displayed impatience with new Wikipedians and has on at least one occasion declared that he doesn't care that he is violating a rule because he is hardly going to enforce it on himself. Unsuited to such a position. Ender 07:05, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
 * User's first edit was November 28, so most likely does not have suffrage. Flcelloguy (A note? ) 14:26, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Neutral

 * 1) Statement looks good, but edit history reveals a slight tendency to be abrasive and too hasty in reverting instead of discussing, frequently requiring him to revert his own reversions, ,  - and that's just the last couple of days. Not terrible, but non ideal for an arbcom candidate. – Quadell (talk) (bounties) 18:06, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
