Support

 * 1) Rather strong support. Seems to understand that policy is important and even more: that there's a spirit behind it that's even more important. Aditionally not being Anglo can be an advantage, specially in issues related to ethnocentric bias. --Sugaar 11:09, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I should note that I am, in fact, Anglo. Just wanted to make sure you weren't casting your support under false pretenses. (^_^) ··· 日本穣 ? · Talk to Nihonjo e  18:09, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) A very good editor, but seems to stick to relatively noncontroversial corners of Wikipedia (mostly WikiProject Japan) and thus does not seem to have much experience with dispute resolution.  --Hyperbole 06:46, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I've been involved in (or handled) several large and sometimes nasty disputes involving macrons (which included an RfM), Japan-Korea relations (the biggest discussion being on the Dokdo talk page (scattered from Archive 3-6)), and other related topics. Some of them involved the pages in question being protected due to edit/move wars, especially the Japan-Korea relations topics which seemed to attract a large number of possible SPA editors and accounts created by friends of those involved. Some of the accounts involved were blocked indefinitely for sock/meat puppetry. There's plenty of controversy surrounding Japan due to its militaristic and imperialistic actions during the Taishō and Shōwa eras. ··· 日本穣 ? · Talk to Nihonjo e  19:14, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
