Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections January 2006/Vote/Filiocht
Now that it seems that the new ArbCom will be at least partly selected by the community, I've decided to unwithdraw. Filiocht | The kettle's on 14:59, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
Given the uncertainty over the selection/election process, a state of affairs that effectively renders these candidacies meaningless, I have decided to withdraw for the moment. If and when clarity is restored, I may reverse this decision. Filiocht | The kettle's on 09:53, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
I've been around since about July 2003, one way or the other, and became an admin around the end of that year. Anyone with an interest in the more obscure corners of 20th century literature may have seen some of my edits.
I have no position on the performance of the existing ArbCom, and nothing I say should be taken as implicit criticism. I run on a simple platform. I would aim to follow the following basic principles:
- Equality of respect: the same standards of behaviour should be extended to and expected of all users. Being an admin gives me no rights that are not also extended to non-admins, I deserve no more leeway than someone who has been here for 3 months. Of course, I exclude the real newcomers, who should never be bitten.
- Wikilove: enough said.
- Assume good faith: ditto.
- Talking is better than blocking, discussing is better than voting. In the last resort, blocking/banning is better than letting one person drain the time, energy and goodwill of the many.
- We're here to build an encyclopaedia, not a playground.
Beyond these, I have no preconceptions and would expect to grow into the role according to the needs of Wikipedia. Filiocht | The kettle's on 14:42, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
