Questions from Red-tailed hawk

  1. Hello. Thank you for volunteering to serve on the Arbitration Committee. Would you please explain your understanding of WP:INVOLVED, and would you summarize the extent to which you agree and/or disagree with how the Arbitration Committee has applied the principles of involved administrator conduct in Reversal and reinstatement of Athaenara's block, Manning naming dispute, and Climate change? — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 00:08, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Questions from Izno

  1. Can you summarize in your own words what the scope and responsibilities of ArbCom include? Can you explain why you think you are qualified for each of those duties? Izno (talk) 02:34, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Questions from Beyond My Ken

  1. Can you explain how, exactly, your life experience as a "jurist" would help you if your were elected to the Arbitartion Committee? Beyond My Ken (talk) 05:22, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Considering your relatively short tenure as an editor (4 years, 8 months) and the low number of edits you've made (5,014), and that you are not an admin (I don't believe any non-admin has ever been elected to ArbCom) your putting youself up as a candidate for the Arbitration Committee does indeed seem to be a WP:BOLD choice. What in your experience as a Wikipedian do you feel qualifies you for the position?

Questions from TheresNoTime

  1. How do you foresee the role of the Arbitration Committee changing with regard to the adoption of the Universal Code of Conduct (namely, due to the enforcement guidelines, and the introduction of the global Coordinating Committee)? — TheresNoTime (talk • they/them) 05:58, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Is ANI pronounced A-N-I or Annie? Thank you for standing, and good luck. — TheresNoTime (talk • they/them) 05:58, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Questions from InsaneHacker

  1. Asking this since you mentioned your experience as a jurist in your candidate statement. While many external observers and indeed our own encyclopedia article on ArbCom refer to it as a court of last resort or a quasi-judicial body, some also strongly object to the characterization of ArbCom as a court, something which is also reflected in WP:NOTCOURT. Can you name some ways in which the ArbCom process functions differently from classic conceptions of a court of law?

Just one question for now. InsaneHacker (💬) 10:10, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
