Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections January 2006/Vote/Svartalf

Svartalf
This candidate has withdrawn from the race; please do not vote. This page is kept primarily for historical reasons. Thank you!

Granted, I'm new to this side of Wikipedia, having mostly devoted myself to the improvement of individual articles on matters where I felt my lights could come in useful. I still have been able to see how contributors with differing views of a subject might come into conflict, even when doing their best to adhere to civility and NPOV, but regarding the other side's version as irredeemably wrong and unworthy of mention at all ... and that's not even mentioning cases when personal involvement in an issue cannot but skew viewpoint, and the depredations of trolls and vandals.

If chosen, for as long as I serve, I will strive to uphold the ideals completeness and neutrality this wikigroup strives to embody, and to give all cases placed before me fair and optimal treatment, drawing both from existing jurisprudence and my own resources, as well as the considered opinions of my colleagues, particularly the more experienced ones, or those having shown themselves most worthy of my esteem. --Svartalf 14:55, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

=Retractation= In the face of overwhelming negative responses arguing "inexperience" (My! was Clockwork Soul such a massive contributor that he got an adminship so fast?) I hereby retract my candidacy. --Svartalf 21:23, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
