become involved in some political allegiances within Knowledge which would unsettle ArbCom discussions and decisions. As ArbCom members tend to slow down on their content creation, it would be of greater value to the project as a whole if the candidate continued creating content rather than enter a potentially difficult and troublesome arena. Uncomfortable with candidate's support of
225:. Unsure on candidate's motivation to join ArbCom (nothing clear in statement, and fudged the question during the interview). Uncomfortable, especially given the number of anti-admin remarks in answers to questions, that candidate states belief in the interview that he feels that ArbCom is "in charge of the administrators". 249:
contributor will make him more cautious than others when taking controversial decisions that will no doubt draw upon his ability to gauge what the wider community is feeling. Has shown senstivity, the ability to forgive, and is eminently reasonable in his comments in high drama cases. Good luck Cla68.

bothers me. He was right to question Godwin, but he showed a lack of tact. Godwin had just been the subject of a personally embarassing article. Cla68 rubbed this in his face - "still think you did the right thing?" - and seemed to be "piling on" Godwin, kicking him while he was down. I'd expect more
204:. Cla68's tenacity in pursuing what he feels is the right path is very important. His communications are always articulate and he is fair and generally cool under pressure. With his wiki-background he will bring a different lens from some of the "wiki-careerists" and therefore enrich the committee. 302:
Reluctantly oppose. Cla68 has done much to improve the encyclopedia. However, I don't get the sense that he'll have the objectivity needed to fulfill this role well. His answers to Sam Blacketer's questions were terrible. And although he must have an excellent grasp of content policies in order to

Oppose. Candidate is valuable content editor, though, other than often commenting in ArbCom cases, shows no solid evidence of content resolution experience or skills. Has shown poor judgement when nominating the Weiss article for deletion. Doesn't have the trust of the community. And seems to have

I'm opposing. As I read Cla68's answers, I see a common theme of making proposals that sound like they would help one situation or another, without thinking through the potential implications or unintended consequences. One prominent example of this is that Cla68 strongly backs the "Default to

Excellent content contributor who has Knowledge's best interests at heart. Despite being unfairly treated in his own adminship nomination, has continued to churn out and incredible amount of high quality content. Not being an admin, having been hard done by, and being such a prolific content

this candidate and many other candidates due to significant involvement in drama on the Knowledge project. Whether or not I agree with the candidate's stances in such conflicts is negligible. I simply cannot contribute my support to anyone that could potentially devalue the integrity of the
418:- Outstanding content contributor. Outstanding contributions to making this a better project as well. All around great candidate, my strongest support. Also, per some of those opposing. Sometimes you can judge a person by the sorts of enemies he's made, more than by the friends he has. ++ 149: 553: 525: 72: 145: 521: 82: 157: 517: 369:) 16:40, 9 December 2009 (UTC) I have further concerns regarding this candidate's unwillingness/inability to communicate clearly and frankly, based on his evasive and unresponsive answers in 344: 529: 597: 474: 189:
I feel that Cla68's incredible featured level work is his forte and that he should not be sidetracked from continuing in that direction by having to deal with arbitration matters.--
