Nandesuka

As Misplaced Pages expands, it is suffering growing pains. This has increased the stress and workload on its administrators. Every administrator wears two hats: editor, and janitor. As an editor, every admin has the same rights and responsibilities as other editors. As janitors, admins have more options, and with those options come increased responsibility. Sometimes, when things are most stressful, administrators can confuse their hats, and mistake the janitor hat for that of a "supereditor." When this occurs, unhappiness ensues.

Arbcom has the potential to deal with problems that are beyond any one administrator. To realize that potential, Arbcom has to make two decisions: which requests to consider, and which requests not to consider. The act of deciding wisely which cases need to be heard is more important than the details of whatever decision is reached. The ability to provide stability and finality to the community is key. Arbcom must not get distracted by cases the community can handle. But Arbcom must not hide from difficult cases, simply because they are ugly. Deciding where the line falls is where the hard work is.

People who only disrupt the encyclopedia should be banned. But every editor has the right to be treated civilly, even during disagreements. It is never appropriate to ignore civility. As an arbitrator, my first concern will be examining requests with seriousness, respect, and civility. I will bring as much transparency to the process as I can. Thanks. Nandesuka 06:41, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

  70. Support: It should be pointed out that the diff below was there because, specifically, Theresa was a friend of Tony's, and Nandesuka was trying furiously to avoid dispute and find mediation, so there's certainly nothing bad about it. I had thought Nandesuka too new for support, but this "evidence" against him brought me off the sidelines. Geogre 12:26, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
  71. Support -- never expected to vote along with karmafist, a most abusive admin, but if civility for everyone is your platform, i'm all for it. maybe in ArbCom some of you will be able to put a lid on abusive admins. r b-j 17:21, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

  27. Oppose. Candidate does not adequately address the nature of arbitration in their candidate statement. In ignorance: I must oppose. With so many candidates, the statement is the extent to which I can engage in becoming an informed voter. Any candidate so contemptuous of the demos as to make it difficult for me to become an informed voter: I must oppose, it bodes poorly for their capacity to take on social responsibility.
