Hi! This is really only half a voter guide for WP:ACE2023, if that's why you're reading this. It's probably not the best decision to base all of your votes on what I'll say here, in case such a thought crossed your mind. This page is also an essay on a quality that I think many arbs lack, to the detriment of trust in ArbCom and the quality of ArbCom decisions. That quality is, to put it bluntly, gumption. Experience making tough and controversial decisions and being transparent as to why they were made. With that in mind, I asked a question to every candidate who would be a new face on ArbCom; this page goes through why I asked the question and my thoughts on the answers of each candidate.

Oh, one last thing, actually: I applaud everyone who chose to stand this cycle. I hold every candidate, as individuals, in high regard. Thank you for offering your service, all :)
