  • I have voted to Oppose this candidate and many other candidates due to significant involvement in drama on the Wikipedia project. Whether or not I agree with the candidate's stances in such conflicts is negligible. I simply cannot contribute my support to anyone that could potentially devalue the integrity of the Arbitration Committee more than it already has. I desire to cancel the soap opera, rather than help renew it for another season with brand new cast members, or, in this particular case, a contract renewal.

  • Support - did a good job last time and I'd trust him again. However, I hope that this time he sticks to AC doing Arbitration and not trying to provide for "project development" or any other leadership roles. Orderinchaos 04:39, 3 December 2009 (UTC) reply
  • Support: classic excellent Arbitrator. Charles Matthews ( talk) 08:54, 3 December 2009 (UTC) reply
  • Neutral - leaning to oppose. I am very undecided on this. Candidate has experience and skills, and is clearly hardworking, organised, intelligent and committed. However, I am uncomfortable about the thinking behind creating Wikipedia:Advisory Council on Project Development, and the resulting drama. The vision of an elite group controlling development of Wikipedia is against the community spirit of Wikipedia, so I would feel uncomfortable supporting the person who thinks that vision is attractive, and who hand selects the people to rule before announcing it to the community.

  • I have voted to Support. Hardworking arbitrator, good communicator, ongoing content contributor. The advisory council issue was severely overblown - a well-intentioned idea perhaps poorly communicated, and certainly misinterpreted by many. Martinp ( talk) 22:37, 3 December 2009 (UTC) reply
  • Support - he's level-headed. Tttom1 ( talk) 05:02, 4 December 2009 (UTC) reply
  • Support He's no idea who I am, but everything I've heard suggests he was and will be a fine representative. Dduff442 ( talk) 20:03, 11 December 2009 (UTC) reply
