It's election season once again on Wikipedia, and that means it's time for the 2022 edition of my ArbCom voting guide. As I said last year and the year before, I have no idea if anyone will read or care about this, but I was going to end up making something like this for myself anyway, so I might as well post it publicly on the off-chance that it’s useful to other voters.
Note: if you want to see symbols next to the support/oppose/neutral text in this table, may I recommend my Vote Symbols userscript?
All my ArbCom voting guides: 2022 • 2021 • 2020 • 2019
12 candidates running for 8 seats:
| Candidate | Vote | Other comments |
|---|---|---|
| Barkeep49 (talk · contribs) | Support | Current arb, no issues |
| BoldLuis (talk · contribs) | Oppose | WP:NOTQUITEYET |
| CaptainEek (talk · contribs) | Support | Current arb, no issues |
| GeneralNotability (talk · contribs) | Neutral | Some concerns about past temperament [1] (made under previous username Creffett) but not enough to put me in oppose. |
| Guerillero (talk · contribs) | Support | More active this year — activity was one of my main concerns last year. |
| L235 (talk · contribs) | Support | Current arb, no issues |
| Moneytrees (talk · contribs) | Weak support | Has arb clerking experience so that's a plus, though they resigned while still a trainee. |
| Primefac (talk · contribs) | Support | Current arb, no issues |
| Robert McClenon (talk · contribs) | Oppose | I regretfully oppose all non-admins running for ArbCom because I feel that adminship represents a minimum level of community trust that I look for in arbitrator candidates. |
| SilkTork (talk · contribs) | Support | Current bureaucrat, and has experience for the job as a former arbitrator. |
| Sdrqaz (talk · contribs) | Neutral | No serious issues but I'd like to see at least a year of admin experience before promotion to arbitrator. |
| Tamzin (talk · contribs) | Weak oppose | Concerns were raised on the discussion page about this candidate being too controversial and confrontational, then their responses proved that point. Also recently went through a particularly contentious RfA — maybe wait a couple years for the dust to settle before running again. |
