FT2

  • Registered: July 2004;
  • Admin: January 2007 (prior rfa withdrawn at 80%, June 2006);
  • OTRS: September 2007;
  • Real life info: 40 ± 2 years old. Working with secure, sensitive information (VP level); and mentoring;
  • Wiki contribution areas: See user page.
Hi. I'm User:FT2. I've been quietly working on our more difficult cases and helping other administrators and users since 2004/05:
  • I've written around 100 substantive articles (list), and authored the stable wordings/structure of many of our core policy and project pages (list).
  • I undertook my first full mediation case and presented my first substantial arbcom evidence in November 2004, my first full arbcom case in December 2004 , followed by involvement in another in January 2005, and a further two warriors later that year, with repeated experience since. Since 2004 and moreso since adminship, I've consistently managed difficult disputes, more virulent warriors, closure of heated or difficult AFDs, further arbcom cases, and problems needing exceptional insight and communication. Throughout, I've continued participating regularly at arbcom.
  • In this arena, I've not only gained respect, but also been commended for some of the best decisions and dispute resolutions in the history of the project: - "possibly the wordiest, best thought through AFD close in the history of the project" , and "probably the most comprehensive and balanced dispute resolution I've ever read on Misplaced Pages" . Even in heated disputes, I am routinely considered fair ... even by those I've declined , who initially disagreed -- and by more than one I've warned or blocked.
  • Behind the scenes, I also do a lot of "second opinion" and escalation/resolution work, in-depth allegation/dispute checking, and drafting analyses and dispute summaries that gain respect even in tough cases . I'm able to say 'no' and explain the reasons , non-provokable , fair to difficult editors, and evidence-centered in presenting concerns about administrator and arbcom decisions when necessary . I spot important privacy/security issues others might miss , and reconsider my stance if needed .
  • For further details, please ask.
Arbcom is our way to endorse a panel of trusted and experienced users, to decide our most divisive or exceptional matters. The Committee must therefore 1/ be responsive (major cases often deteriorate rapidly), 2/ earn exceptional respect for its decisions (unlike all other communal decisions, the invitation "anyone can edit" does not apply), 3/ act transparently and with clarity, and 4/ be answerable to the community, not the other way round.
As an administrator, I have been community focussed and a problem-solver, accessible and supportive. As an arbitrator (if appointed) I give my commitment to absolute integrity; to be accountable; to be approachable; and to be fair, insightful and effective.

His determination to craft remedies that have article writers' interests at heart, commitment to communication and ability to handle problematic users will make him an excellent arbitrator. --J.L.W.S.

  250. Support The candidate isn't one whom I was immediately inclined to support—even as I had a very positive understanding of FT2, the answers to the questions did not, at first, resolve certain concerns that I might have had—but with further reflection I've become convinced that he will do a stellar job on ArbCom, and I'm quite happy that he will, it appears, be elected.

  11. Strongly oppose I am reluctant to support OTRS members in any case, and FT2's comments on NPOV show that FT2 is committed to the Sympathetic Point of View, which is not our policy. In addition, this comment is a personal attack, and should disqualify even if the description of Dbuckner is factuallly accurate (for all I know it is); anyone who handles criticism this badly should not be an arbitrator.
