Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections January 2006/Vote/Jtkiefer

Jtkiefer
This candidate has withdrawn from the race; please do not vote. This page is kept primarily for historical reasons. Thank you! Hello, I'm Jtkiefer, a registered user since June 2005, and an anonymous editor for a long time before that. I've been an administrator since late August 2005, and I'm now active in the Welcoming Committee and the Stub Sorting WikiProject.

The arbitration process needs to be streamlined; this is widely agreed upon by the Wikipedia community. The arbitration case duration has been reduced without compromising diligence, but I feel that this can be improved even more. Good members who become involved as arbitrators are often alienated by the process; their experience is lost when they resign or leave the project, and I feel that this problem too must be given serious attention.

I feel that the arbcom should be willing to ban users when necessary and should not hesitate to do so in the case of blatant trolls and vandals, at the same time I feel that the arbcom should have a streamlined system to deal with such blatant abuses and that the arbcom should be strict but fair whenever blocks or bans are called for.

 * 21) Oppose, too trigger-happy as an admin, this sense of being a "law unto himself" would only worsen were jtk on the arbcom. Also, I do not agree arbitration must be an ultima ratio only to be opted for after a dozen mediators has despaired.

 * Recent unacceptable behavior by this individual has required me engage a comment on this vote. dab's comments above speak volumes about him and I wish I'd read them earlier before engaging the individual in another setting.  This user will ban because he's in a bad mood.  I cannot believe that he could possibly do anything but harm in this position. <font size="+1" color="#008800"> &#08492;  02:29, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

 * 15) Oppose. Candidate does not adequately address the nature of arbitration in their candidate statement. In ignorance: I must oppose.  With so many candidates, the statement is the extent to which I can engage in becoming an informed voter.  Any candidate so contemptuous of the demos as to make it difficult for me to become an informed voter: I must oppose, it bodes poorly for their capacity to take on social responsibility.
