This page exists to give explanations for the votes I make, and my thoughts about the candidate. Unlike some people who dismiss good faith questions to their opposition as "badgering", I am happy to answer questions about my voting or comments, and am willing to be persuaded to change my mind. If you require further explanation for votes or comments, please ask me.

| AGK (talk · contribs) | Statement | Questions | Had some issues regarding power seeking across various wiki projects. Seemed to grow up overnight, and nowadays seems quite sensible. Disagree with stance on Jake Wartenberg's questions. I like your targets idea. Dislike answer to Q9 from Rschen7754. | |

| Coren (talk · contribs) | Statement | Questions | Q9 is problematic - fate of functionaries should not reside with arbcom. Q27, 28 are too - for reasons that should be obvious (ask if not). Q32 - MBisanz was rightly not appointed. Arbcom should not be making such decisions. Q35 - very concerned you don't remember the username... Individual qs: Q9 (from Rschen7754) - eek! I also noted you have proposed banning somebody for three months on the mailing list case - an entirely useless idea, in my opinion. Short bans achieve nothing but political satisfaction for a while. Then the user comes back... you do seem to care more than some candidates, which is a good point. | |
| Fred Bauder (talk · contribs) | Statement | Questions | Not suited. He's had his time. | |
| Fritzpoll (talk · contribs) | Statement | Questions | I recall this user had something to do with mass creation of stubs, which I think is a dreadful idea. | |
| Hersfold (talk · contribs) | Statement | Questions | Another arbcom clerk... | |
| Jehochman (talk · contribs) | Statement | Questions | You don't seem to have changed from last year... too much involvement in drama stuff. | |
| Kirill Lokshin (talk · contribs) | Statement | Questions | Your role in this fiasco is unacceptable. You've had your time. This <redacted external link> also makes interesting reading]. Not sure why people are strongly supporting... | |
| Kmweber (talk · contribs) | Statement | Questions | Unfortunately, with controversy after scandal on ArbCom, I'm sort of wanting to support abolishing ArbCom. | |
| KnightLago (talk · contribs) | Statement | Questions | An arbcom clerk, which is a negative for me. | |
| Mailer diablo (talk · contribs) | Statement | Questions | An extremely sensible user. I suggested you run two years ago, if I recall correctly. | |
| MBK004 (talk · contribs) | Statement | Questions | Not familiar. | |
| RMHED (talk · contribs) | Statement | Questions | Was unbanned without community consent by Arbcom, and clearly should still be banned. | |
| Ruslik0 (talk · contribs) | Statement | Questions | Not familiar. | |
| Secret (talk · contribs) | Statement | Questions | Multiple RfAs, powerseeking across different projects, dodgy history, multiple usernames, only an admin through backdoor request to sympathetic bureaucrat. | |
| Seddon (talk · contribs) | Statement | Questions | The only candidate I have met in person. | |
| Shell Kinney (talk · contribs) | Statement | Questions | A perennial candidate? Just doesn't strike me as somebody who would make a difference. | |
