Jayvdb

Hi. My name is John Vandenberg. I have provided a detailed history about myself on my userpage. I believe that arbitrators should be very open and honest about their formal education and experience in order that the community can make informed decisions about who to vote for, and so that people coming to the committee for arbitration can get a feel for the people that will be making the decisions.

I served as an Arbitration Clerk for much of the first half of 2008. I resigned due to a messy affair, which has since been settled amicably. This experience, and the termination of it, was an eye opener. I am aware of the responsibility, workload and difficulty involved.

My commitments:

  1. I will not edit policy pages or influence policy. This is the responsibility of the community, and arbitrators should not write the policies that they will use in decisions.
  2. I will oppose any remedy that is not substantially grounded in existing policy that was written by the community, or on resolutions passed by the Wikimedia Foundation.
  3. I will be highly active and available, or I will step down and turn in my "access".

I will bring to the committee:

  1. Broad technical skills to automate tasks that the committee regularly performs, and improve processes where possible.
  2. Broad experience and exposure to the culture, policies and leaders of most of the WMF projects. There are very few arbs, ex-arbs, or other candidates who have measurable experience outside of English Wikipedia.
  3. Broad language skills - I can only write in English, however I enjoy working with foreign languages and people who don't have a good grasp of English
  4. Limited patience for long & drawn out cases. Quick and measured solutions that result in the least amount of pain and disruption are good. Perfect is the enemy of good.
  5. Limited wiki-friendships with the elite in the power structure here on Wikipedia. It will be rare that I need to be recused.

Whilst on the committee, my mission for reform within the committee and arbitration process will be to:

  1. Encourage participatory democracy.
  2. Fire the slackers and the lurkers and people whose term is up.
  3. Require that arbitration cases have a clear scope before they open.
See here for more detailed explanations of these three points.

  92. Strong support - On not answering questions: It is said if you want something done, give it to a busy person. I hear Jayvdb has been handling a LOT of the oversight-l work since being appointed. That might be more important than answering every question (yes, I wish he had answered mine first but hey...) On "power voting": I prefer someone who is willing to hold opinions and go on record about them to someone who won't say what they think. We need more plain speaking on ArbCom I think, so bully to Jayvdb for saying what he thinks, even if he's wrong where he disagrees with me! :). On the AA thing: There's actually nothing to this in my view, after you factor out ethnic POV pushers who don't like being called on things. Jayvdb said he'd recuse (in a case where I don't actually think he has to) See this post and the thread it's in for more. On contribs: Jayvdb is a large part of the reason that en:ws "doesn't suck". That shows he's not insular, and it shows he gets stuff done. WS is hugely important for a certain class of articles. In short: Jayvdb will bring us the change we need. why my vote? ++Lar: t/c 15:52, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Sorry, you are not eligible to vote in this year's elections. You must have had 150 mainspace edits by November 1. ST47 (talk) 21:48, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  18. Oppose due to concerns about ability to put in needed time and "insider" status; too much risk that his election would lead to continuation of the problems we have seen in the past year. Short Brigade Harvester Boris (talk) 22:13, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  19. Weak oppose. Was considering proffering my question to consider supporting, but then noticed the whole "oppose the other candidates" issue, and I simply can not abide that. S.D.D.J.Jameson 22:51, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  20. oppose --Nepaheshgar (talk) 00:16, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  21. oppose ----Larno Man Larno (talk) 02:05, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  22. Strong Oppose. Someone who quickly takes sides in disputes would not make a good arbitrator. In the instances that Jayvdb has intervened in Azerbaijan-Armenia issues, he has almost always blocked or reverted Armenian users ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5], etc.). Only on rare occasions has he treated Azeri users similarly. I would not trust with him CheckUser, let alone allow him to get involved in any future Armenia-Azerbaijan arbitration cases. Khoikhoi 02:49, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  23. Weak but unshaken Oppose. I think that taking time is necessary for this sort of thing. I want to see a clearer commitment to more specific changes, not "get 'r dun quick" thinking. Still, I don't think you'd be BAD, just that there are better choices out there at this time. Best of luck to you if you get it. Matt Yeager ♫ (Talk?) 05:41, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  26. oppose : As by User:Khoikhoi, I browse the Pages created by Jayvdb, and find out creating some of the pages are only possible if the creator is professionally connected with a group that may not act neuter in especial cases .Some of the articles are Baku Polytechnicum,Arabian Gulf University,OACIS for the Middle East,Copyright Agency of the Republic of Azerbaijan,List of Azerbaijan legislation,Saudi Gazette and six other articles .--Alborz Fallah (talk) 07:09, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  27. Weak Oppose. AA issues, better to be over-cautious imho. Alæxis¿question? 07:10, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  28. Oppose - per Nishkid64 and Khoikhoi. Iraqi (talk) 07:44, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  31. Oppose - Khoi had a good point, someone who takes sides in disputes, would not make a good arbitrator. --Kaaveh (talk) 12:57, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  32. Oppose --Joopercoopers (talk) 13:14, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  34. Oppose I do not know him, but I read that he takes sides in disputes. Not a good idea!--Babakexorramdin (talk) 16:23, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  35. oppose. User doesnt have a commitment to neutrality.--Zereshk (talk) 17:03, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  36. Opposing other candidates so early in the election doesn't speak well for your impartiality; doing so because you wish to change the voting system doesn't speak well for your judgment. >Radiant< 17:32, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  37. Oppose, as per Nishkid64 and Khoikhoi. Lack of impartiality on AA (and perhaps not only) issues. --157.228.x.x (talk) 19:47, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  38. Oppose, based on answers to questions. The Uninvited Co., Inc. 20:26, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  42. Oppose. Everyking (talk) 23:24, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  43. Oppose - unwilling or unable to comment on imperfect cases, particularly the OrangeMarlin debacle, and has no thoughts regarding the ArbCom RFC. Too "entrenched" - ArbCom needs change, not more of the same. Badger Drink (talk) 23:35, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  44. Oppose Agree with Radiant and Badger Drink. Best for candidates to vote on other candidates. And to oppose viable contenders when you say they should be on arbcom...crass. Should have at least only voted supports and abstained on the others.Sumoeagle179 (talk) 00:19, 3 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  45. Oppose Him voting oppose to other candidates shows utter lack of class.--Avg (talk) 01:31, 3 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  46. Oppose I don't trust his judgment or objectivity, since he appears to have shady connections with a group of Azerbaijani nationalist editors, all of whom are under ArbCom probation, and some of whom are paid lobbyists in real life. --CreazySuit (talk) 01:40, 3 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  47. Oppose. Bucketsofg 03:10, 3 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
