Dbiv (signs as David)

I have decided, with reluctance, to stand in the election. The reluctance was because I might win and have less time for what I really enjoy, writing articles (two to which I contributed were in DYK? this week). I'm realistically looking to be in a pool of replacement Arbcom members, should members stand down mid term. I've been an editor since March 2004 and an admin for a year, and have over 7,000 edits. I'm very proud that I've never been accused of making a personal attack.

My principle campaign pledge for ArbCom is always to keep in mind the goal of writing a high-quality encyclopaedia. All ArbCom decisions must make it easier to do that, and I offer myself as someone who has good judgment as to whether a problem user with some good edits should be blocked for a time, or given help to stop causing problems. I believe that POV pushing users can be made a benefit, if they back up their opinions with research, and do not obstinately insist on their edits. However, offensive users can make life intolerable and action must be taken to stop them driving off useful contributors.

My biography is in the article space, despite my efforts (I may be the first Wikipedian to nominate themselves for deletion but see the article kept). I think I have good conflict resolution skills. You may not consider it important but in real life I'm a published author and an elected local councillor.

A codicil

I notice a few voters making reference to my stated reluctance to stand, and I fear some may have grasped the wrong end of the stick. My reluctance is absolutely not to be understood as an unwillingness to serve, and I give a pledge to play an active part in ArbCom and devote to it all the time necessary. The reluctance comes only because every minute spent on ArbCom business is a minute not spent writing new articles, or improving existing ones. I hope this makes the situation clearer, at least. Perhaps it's just my good old-fashioned English modesty getting me in trouble again. David | Talk 22:15, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

  127. Support. Seems well adjusted, balanced, and neutral, based on responses to questions (see the questions link in the statement section). Indeed, seems to take a delight in being as neutral as possible. --Victim of signature fascism | help remove biblecruft 18:35, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

  129. Support. I thought his view on IAR was too liberal, but a very level headed and sensible clarification on his views on my talkpage showed that Dbiv is a good man for ArbCom responsibilities. Sjakkalle (Check!) 06:56, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
  130. Support. I like his pragmatic view on IAR, plus he is well-reasoned in answers, even when I disagree with his positions. Youngamerican 14:28, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

  6. Oppose. When asked to not use the admin rollback button against well-meaning editors, Dbiv claimed that it is "fuss over nothing", and also found "this sort of debate sterile, enervating and pointless". Admittedly it was a minor matter, however, the response was not appropriate for a future arbitrator. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 00:34, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

  22. Oppose I feel he lacks committment to Misplaced Pages process and policy. His membership of controversial orgs like SEIG also make too politcal and thus too partisan. All users need to feel they can trust ArbCom. Axon (talk|contribs) 10:08, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
