Now that it seems that the new ArbCom will be at least partly selected by the community, I've decided to unwithdraw.

Given the uncertainty over the selection/election process, a state of affairs that effectively renders these candidacies meaningless, I have decided to withdraw for the moment. If and when clarity is restored, I may reverse this decision.

I've been around since about July 2003, one way or the other, and became an admin around the end of that year. Anyone with an interest in the more obscure corners of 20th century literature may have seen some of my edits.
I have no position on the performance of the existing ArbCom, and nothing I say should be taken as implicit criticism. I run on a simple platform. I would aim to follow the following basic principles:
Equality of respect: the same standards of behaviour should be extended to and expected of all users. Being an admin gives me no rights that are not also extended to non-admins, I deserve no more leeway than someone who has been here for 3 months. Of course, I exclude the real newcomers, who should never be bitten.
Talking is better than blocking, discussing is better than voting. In the last resort, blocking/banning is better than letting one person drain the time, energy and goodwill of the many.
We're here to build an
encyclopaedia, not a playground.
Beyond these, I have no preconceptions and would expect to grow into the role according to the needs of Wikipedia.

Support - eminently sensible and level headed - I believe Filiocht would make an excellent artbitrator.

I will support anyone who demonstrates great levelheadedness, and I can think of no better example than Filiocht.

Support. I only hope the string is long enough that arbcom duties will not diminish this editor's truly impressive contributions.

Support From the candidate statement: "We're here to build an encyclopaedia, not a playground." Damn right.

Support. A great package: good answers to the questions, good attitude, consistently level-headed, assumes good faith...

Support. A model Wikipedian whose judgment I respect more than my own, and whose support of this project's best and noblest ideals are part of the reason I keep coming back to this place.

Support. Seems well adjusted, balanced, and neutral, based on responses to questions (see the questions link in the statement section). In addition, Filiocht strikes me as particularly thoughtful, and hence will make good judgements, and re-introduce the much missed principle of consensus. --

Support If this was a European-style parliamentary election with a transferable vote, this candidate would likely get my top vote.
Youngamerican 14:56, 16 January 2006 (UTC)reply
Support because we absolutely need you as an arbitrator. Nothing short of a return to a focus on Wikilove and AGF while dealing with those editors that do not edit in good faith can solve Wikipedia's ills. Filiocht is clearly our best shot at that. -

Support, with the greatest pleasure. If a vote may be said to be unneeded, this one is; nevertheless I'm so very glad to be able to do my bit for so peerless a candidate. I remember how, ironically, Filiocht momentarily pulled out some months ago. It is WP's fortune that much has changed.

Oppose Candidate statement too vague on arbitration to case an informed vote on their merits as an arbitrator. Without information: oppose.
Fifelfoo 00:16, 10 January 2006 (UTC)reply
Oppose actually, I have nothing at all against this user becoming arbitrator...the vote is just way too one-sided. If it gets close maybe I'll come in and change it :)

Regretfully Oppose. His strong support of

I have no doubt that Filiocht wouldn't be a bad Arbitrator, but that doesn't mean he'd be a good one. Also, it would be a shame to lose one of the most prolific contributors of Featured content.
