Please first read User:Shock Brigade Harvester Boris/A pocket guide to Arbitration. Then pay a minute of silence to its author whom to have known was one of the pleasures on the site. (The link doesn't work any more, because his talk was archived, try again. It's still true.) He would have been an arb for whom I'd have voted without a question.

If you want analysis and recommendations, look what others offer. To know what I go for, or just compare what the candidates answered, stay here and read their answers, - I offer only teasers in the table below. I may sound boring because my question this year is the same as last year. Sadly, some who answered to my liking, didn't live up to their answers. New: I mark good answers. (Needless to say: good for me.) That's no guarantee I'll vote for the candidate ;) - 21 November: I voted now for those marked green, but there's no guarantee that I wouldn't change my mind if things change.

My simple question (and the same as last year): Can you agree with Opabinia regalis here?
