Casliber

Hello, I am Casliber (which happens to be an unspaced version of my real name) and have been editing since May 2006, and an admin since March 2007. I am nominating myself for arbcom as I feel I have some attributes which may be of benefit to wikipedia in difficult cases.

My main role is as a contributor and coordinator of (hopefully) quality content; wikipedia excels in its opportunity and use of collaborative editing. No man editor is an island and the skills in various areas of putting pen to paper (or digital equivalent) that I have improved on since I have been here I have been impressed and grateful for. I have spent most time in areas which make use of collaborative editing; Featured Article, DYK and (to a lesser extent) Good Article writing, as well as involvement with various wikiprojects (Fungi, Dinosaurs, Birds, D&D, medicine, some sports etc.), and have thought of ways of how to bring out the best in people with respect to article writing and improvement.

Now in my day job I am a psychiatrist and part of my job/role/skill-set/training etc. involves listening and watching and figuring out things like whether people are able to negotiate and collaborate with others, and if/how they can assume responsibility.

I figure experience in both of these areas may be useful in analysing difficult cases in how firmly to apply remedies or when to cut some slack in figuring out what is ultimately best for the 'pedia and how to get the best out of users.

Another point I'd like to make is that doctors generally shouldn't treat themselves or their families; the analogy here is arbcom. Many currently involved, and seeking to get elected have been involved for some time. This is a good thing and I fully support their involvement. However, I do think the committee may benefit from some experienced wikipedians who may not have been heavily involved and are hence more able to make objective observations and recommendations in some cases where arbcom members may be involved or a particular case is critical of some aspect integral to arbcom in some way.

Thus, if folks feel this is a benefit, I am happy to serve. If people feel all candidates should be heavily experienced, then so be it. Ask away.

His lack of familiarity with the issues before the committee does concern me, and I found it very strange that he set up a straw poll on the contents of his signature. But, on balance, a support.

94. Strongest possible support. - The only negative that could possibly come from this person sitting on ArbCom would be a slightly lower article development level of activity. I think that's a reasonable tradeoff for such an obviously thoughtful and careful addition to the committee; contributing to a better environment on WP will necessarily attract more good editors. // roux   editor review09:43, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

309. Weak support. A few of his answers are a little underwhelming, and it's not all together clear how transferable his dazzling article writing experience will be to Arbing, but seems generally quite sensible. Besides that, I have a bias towards editors with disclosed identities and real life experience and grown up responsibilities (despite meeting only the "disclosed identity" criterion myself).

311. Support - excellent contributor at the coal-face as it were of what the project is ultimately about. Whilst several of answers been noted as weak, I am actually reassured that recognises limit of knowledge and not some tekkie who knows all possible aspects of past decissions. Coming afresh to the committee (other members will be able to point out relevant points) makes him a good choice of candidate as breath of types of arbcom members would be useful.
