By some bizarre stroke of misfortune, I was elected to the committee a few years ago. Half way through my term, I wrote an essay about my thoughts on the committee. The short version is that the job fucking sucks. The jobs sucks a bit less when everyone on the team is active and pulling their weight. Because of this, I am biased towards people who have a history of working on the project in high stress-low reward positions such as clerking, CU/OS, being one of the people that runs the FA process, etc. There are 11 positions so I am going to be voting for 11 or less candidates. Everyone else will get an oppose or neutral.

Thoughts

[edit]

These are my initial thoughts.

Strong Support

[edit]
  1. Worm That Turned (talk · message · contribs · page moves · edit summaries · count · api · logs · block log · email)
    WTT is a sane and skillful arb that knows how to navigate complex situations with diplomacy and grace.
  2. Casliber (talk · message · contribs · page moves · edit summaries · count · api · logs · block log · email)
    Cas is a strong voice for the content creators on the committee. He has been great in the job in the past.
  3. KrakatoaKatie (talk · message · contribs · page moves · edit summaries · count · api · logs · block log · email)
    Katie was one of the more reasonable people on the committee this term
  4. Xeno (talk · message · contribs · page moves · edit summaries · count · api · logs · block log · email)
    If Xeno wants another term, I am more than happy to give it to him
  5. Newyorkbrad (talk · message · contribs · page moves · edit summaries · count · api · logs · block log · email)
    I guess the committee needs a lawyer on it... (jk; jk) Brad will always have my vote
  6. David Fuchs (talk · message · contribs · page moves · edit summaries · count · api · logs · block log · email)
    Like Cas, David is another dual-hatted former arb that has written a bunch of content. I liked him in the past and nothing has changed.

Weak Support

[edit]
  1. Isarra (talk · message · contribs · page moves · edit summaries · count · api · logs · block log · email)
    Isarra wants you to think that she is a perennial joke candidate that is doing this for the laughs. What her userpage, edit count, and enwikipedia permissions log don't tell you is that she is a highly trusted designer/css guru. Beyond Winter/Timeless, Isarra has been answering questions and being helpful on IRC for close to a decade. In all of my interactions with her, she has come across as a level-headed person who deeply cares about how projects are run. Give her a chance.
  2. SoWhy (talk · message · contribs · page moves · edit summaries · count · api · logs · block log · email)
    SoWhy has been clueful in the past and helps out with the Library.
  3. Bradv (talk · message · contribs · page moves · edit summaries · count · api · logs · block log · email)
    I have been impressed with Bradv's time on the clerk team.
  4. Maxim (talk · message · contribs · page moves · edit summaries · count · api · logs · block log · email)
    His response to Beeblebrox's question shows self reflection. I hope he brings an outside perspective
  1. With LB's withdraw, Beeblebrox gets bumped up to the weak support column

Neutral

[edit]

All three of these candidates seems reasonable, but I haven't seen them in a trusted role before.

Oppose

[edit]

Hard Pass

[edit]

"I rarely take wiki breaks and I'm online almost 24/7" is a recipe for flaming out. The only way to survive a 2 year term is to take regular breaks

Yikes
