Mikkalai

I was wikiborn in October, 2003 and was an administrator since February, 2004. As the number of active editors grow, the number of conflicts naturally grow, so I am willing to give my share of time to this cleanup task as well.

  1. I feel that further fate of the project depends on maintaining a reasonable working environment.
  2. I am going to oppose the false idea that "all people are equal" (see into the history of Communism to understand what I mean). A better (but still not ideal) statement would be "... equal before the Law" (or "...before God" in some cultures). But in most societies the application of the Law does recognize that people are fundamentally unequal.
  3. I will be standing for zero-point-one-tolerance (0.1-tolerance) for disruption of wikipedia's spirit of cooperation, such as ad hominem attacks, policy gaming, information censorship. "Zero-point-one" is a recognition that people are human, can make errors and have emotions.
  4. I will stand for a structure in disputes, for efficiency.
  5. Pledge: fairness, neutrality, mercy, participation.

  19. Oppose Sorry. Mikka is a great user, but four reverts in three hours at Anti-Romanian discrimination was not a good idea ( [1]). Mikka also inserted {{protected}} on the page after the fourth revert and probably actually protected the page. I am sure that what Mikka was dealing was ultranationalist trolls or the like, but he could have just reported the issue at WP:AN/I or other place instead.

  21. Oppose on response to my Question and recent statements.—LeFlyman 05:42, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  22. Oppose on the basis of the policy platform presented, this is not a platform for arbitration, this is the platform for a judiciary acting in the interests of a "power elite". I have no wish for the experience of LambdaMOO's "arbitration" system of a politicised pseudo-judiciary to be replicated on Wikipedia, particularly when the judiciary displays a noxious, Jacobin, jurisprudence. Fifelfoo 05:45, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  23. Oppose - a very valuable contributor in terms of content, but his attitude to fellow Wikipedians is much too black and white, and harsh. Ronline ✉ 05:58, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  29. Oppose. I disagree with your platform. -- Michalis Famelis 09:48, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    Oppose with some reluctance, since I think Mikka is generally a fine fellow and a sound contributor but in my view he lacks detachment. I'd go with Ronline (who knows Mikka much better than I do). Several admin calls by Mikka have left me feeling distinctly uneasy; he has appeared partisan in his use of admin powers. Whether or not that appearance is fair (and it may well not be). - Just zis  Guy, you know? [T]/[C] AfD? 10:08, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment That is not quite true, JzG just recently changed usernames. His real first edit was Aug 20, 2004, he has been very active since Aug 2005. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:08, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  31. oppose - regrettably per above. My personal encounter with Mikka was quite positive though and I continue to be impressed with his dedication. Jbetak 11:25, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  34. considered oppose Happy to have Mikkalai as an admin, but have serious reservations regarding impartiality if promoted to ArbCom. Tomertalk 13:54, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  38. Very Strong Oppose - This Admin should be desysoped not to mention to be advanced in an ArbCom. This bias editor had several attacks on me. Check his history please (Moldovan language Moldova Anti-Romanian Transnistria). He never assumed good faith but he blocked me for content issues. How can a man like him even dream to become member of ArbCom? The way he likes the most is this one: "block the opponents of his ideas" then "revert all edits by others" then "edit the page with his ideas" then "block the page". Looks very bad. It was in attention for Jimbo also for his abuse of privileges and power. I don't trust him. How many times I told him to stop it? He is a looser with this kind of bad approach.
