Statement

I am one of the longer-time members of Misplaced Pages, arriving in 2003 and becoming an administrator in 2004, and I hope to bring with me some breadth of experience with the project. I remain convinced that Misplaced Pages should be, as it was, a flat hierarchy, for we are all volunteers, and we are all equals. Each gives as her or his abilities and interests dictate, and the best arbitrators are those who are most articulate and conversant with the policies of Misplaced Pages. Thus, being on ArbCom is a job rather than an honor, and arbitrators are judges of policy infractions rather than legislators. I hope that my long history of article writing (I keep a brag list at my user page), involvement at XfD (user:Geogre/AfD has some of the material that led to the "notability" guideline, and Misplaced Pages:Managed Deletion was possibly the first shot at what would become prod and the expanded CSD (although those were the result of the hard work of many, many others, and I claim no credit except for working)), the various noticeboards, and DRV testifies to my experience and to my temperament. My one interest is in transparency, respect, and subordinating all other concerns to the maintenance of a sound editing atmosphere for our volunteers -- the people who made Misplaced Pages one of the most used and visited sites on the entire web. I welcome questions and hope to help the community understand the positions ArbCom takes, as well as to help the other members of ArbCom respond to the needs of the general community.

Oppose

  1. After the way he's treated other ArbCom candidates during this election, I could not possibly support. Some level of decorum is necessary. Also, Geogre was embattled in such a bitter and ugly fight on-wiki not too long ago that his desysopping was recommended by a current sitting arbitrator. --Cyde Weys 00:07, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
    The reference was to The Dog in the Manger, and it was linked. Please do not misquote. The dog in the tale is male. Geogre 02:58, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
    You know what's so amusing about revert wars is, everything is still visible in the history. As a long-time friend of Geogre's, Bishonen should know better than to get involved here. --Ideogram 04:00, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  2. ArbCom's job is to apply the will of the community as directly as possible. They should display the fewest opinions possible. Geogre is at his best advocating his unique perspective with all the force and eloquence he is known for. If you want to think outside the ArbCom, stay outside the ArbCom.--Ideogram 00:07, 4 December 2006 (UTC) see also comment on talk page
  3. The fact that the ArbCom even considered desysopping him makes me quibble. Scobell302 00:15, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  4. Gurch 00:25, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  5. Sorry, but I must say strong oppose on this one. George is a fantastic editor, but an editor he should remain. There are immense civility concerns I have with this user and he seems to be taking part in some strange use of using Misplaced Pages as a battleground as is evident by his talk page. I think this user lacks the judgment required of an arbcom candidate and would feel much more comfortable if he remained a positive editor. Cowman109 00:28, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  6. More so given the user's insistence on replying to other votes, above, which is generally frowned upon in ArbCom elections. Ral315 (talk) (my votes) 00:38, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  7. Per Scobell302 and Cyde. --Coredesat 01:17, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  8. Awolf002 01:41, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  9. I really want to support but this changes my mind, sorry Jaranda 01:50, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  10. pschemp | talk 02:20, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  11. Thatcher131 02:31, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  12. Maybe 9 months ago, I would have supported this user. But it seems he/she has turned snide, e.g. holding public conversations badmouthing another candidate. - Mark 02:37, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  13. — CharlotteWebb 02:45, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  14. Sarah Ewart 02:57, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  15. After reading the exchange on the nominee's talk page regarding another candidate's nomination, I reluctantly change my vote. Regardless of how he feels about the other person's motives, comments such as those would be unworthy of a ArbCom member. — Moondyne 03:07, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  16. theProject 03:13, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  17. Seems to lack the ability to remain emotionally distant from his commentaries. Serpent's Choice 03:46, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
