Template:ACE2012 discussion


  • It's important for ArbCom members to communicate reasonably well to avoid appearance of an isolated institution, and the ability of this candidate to fulfill that require appears questionable. Well reasoned and supported queries about any details of their decision process from an assortment of parties are met with either dodging/silence or at best unhelpful vague answers. Also contrary to their statement that wiki should be well trimmed ("consolidation of material"), they appear to have no reservations about leaving behind a mess of broken links and whatnot as a result of aforementioned deletions despite being prodded about it (yet finds time instead to shut down any more complaints). By the candidate's own reasoning this rather opaque and uncooperative behavior shouldn't be so readily exhibited in the sort of editors that constitute wiki's highest authority.
