Will probably get elected, because he's popular, not because he'll make a good arbitrator. Reminds me of
Deskana last year - became a bcrat in July, CU in September (I think) then ArbCom in December. Nothing against Deskana, whom I've met in real life, but I firmly believe he was only elected because of the other roles he has, and popularity. He's been barely active for most of his term as far as I can see. Either this is what will happen to Rlevse, or he'll be another ArbCom clone, who supports each other and conducts important discussions in secret, completely unnecessarily. Other answers to questions are bad as well.

Knowledge (XXG) much anymore (example, the owners of #wikipedia-en are
Martinp23 and Wimt. Wimt's last 50 edits go back through to August. Martin is barely active as well). Answers to questions are unfortunate, and I cannot support with thinking like that. Maybe it is time he did something else on Knowledge (XXG)?

Friendly hardworking editor. Met him several times. Unlike some, doesn't seem to be a badge collector, and is genuinely hardworking and interested in the processes he's involved in. Shame the article work is so weak, but I believe that's made moot when you see all the other work he does. Makes very

Shouldn't be a bcrat in my opinion, because he doesn't understand what consensus is. No doubt will become another clone of the current arbcom, which would be disasterous. Anyone who thinks discussions on potential CUs need to take place in secret seriously needs to get their facts straightened out.
997:
White Cat's had a difficult time on
Knowledge (XXG). I've met him in real life, and we spent quite a bit of time together at Wikimania. I honestly don't think he's at all suitable for ArbCom, and wish he would work on some articles instead, for his own sake. I think a lot of users believe WC is a

Simply put, no. Wasn't he one of the editors who didn't want to ban serial sockpuppeteer
Mantanmoreland, part of the arbcom case that arbcom famously, if you'll pardon my French, fucked up big-time? Someone correct me if I'm wrong. His answers to questions show a massive lack of confidence; a

I've met James on several occasions in real life. I didn't really get along with him before we met, but I suppose once you've met a user in person, they're always better in real life. IRC issues shouldn't be used as a grudge imo. The channels are run by other people, who aren't even active on

Another drama-person (though admittedly does a little more article work than Coren). I don't think she'd be suited for ArbCom, unfortunately. The worst thing is, I can't really express my reasoning as to why - just a bad feeling (not about Risker personally, but may be bad for

Reminds me very much of FT2, with lots of tl;dr posts on the drama boards. Tends to be a reasoned voice in disputes, so looking very favourable. Could have better article work. I love the fact he has only made three actions in his block

Another difficult one for me. I met
Charles at Wikimania, and he is a nice person IRL (as no doubt every Wikipedian is). Concerned about activity in relation to Arbitration matters, and whether Charles is really suited to continue. I

Matthew Hoffman thing. Let's not ignore the fact Charles is a very active editor and has made over 150,000 edits - most, if not all, manual ones, working on articles. But I'm not sure how neutral he can stay when

Not an admin. Never heard of him, but his answers aren't bad - they're not great though. Statement gives no information on how they would work as an

Drama, policy-wonking, fighting are words that spring to mind here. His behaviour during this initial period shows he could be unsuited. Could conflict with other arbitrators. The answers to my questions were fine

troll; I disagree that he is, only he is provoked. He was an admin on
Commons, and has made tens of thousands of edits, as well as ones with his bot. He's very dedicated, just not at all suited for this position.

Too much poor judgement from this user, here and on Simple
English Knowledge (XXG), where he edited as MindTheGap. Anyone who thinks children/teenagers should be banned doesn't understand "anyone can edit".
