I'd like to nominate C628 as another arbitrator candidate. He's not been around here for that long - since February - but has, in my opinion, demonstrated overall excellent judgment and has many of the traits I want to see in an arb. Tempodivalse [talk] 00:49, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Acceptance of nomination: I accept. C628 (talk) 00:52, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is one of the few Wikinewsies I've actually met. I take it as a given he would deal with any submission to ArbCom with the required seriousness. Additionally, alongside Cirt, I feel it is important that the CheckUser privilege is available to the ArbCom should they be required to deal with a complex or messy case that requires such checks. --Brian McNeil / talk 19:01, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Seconded. I have full faith in Skenmy. If I was to be unsuccessful in my nom in Arbcom below, Skenmy is the user I would like to replace me. Brian | (Talk) | New Zealand Portal 23:17, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Acceptance of nomination: Thank you for this nomination. While I appreciate I am not the most active editor on the site, I check in most every day, am reachable on IRC and via e-mail, and keep abreast of current community issues. I accept. --Skenmy talk 06:49, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Pi zero has popped up regularly during recent debates and always spoken wisdom. I believe xe would make an excellent arb. Blood Red Sandman (Talk) (Contribs) 12:23, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Acceptance of nomination:

I am willing to serve if the community so chooses, so I accept the nomination. One limitation to my breadth of experience is that I have never stood for admin here, which I will next head over to RFP to rectify; the community should have an opportunity to consider me for that ahead of this. --Pi zero (talk) 18:50, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I trust Tris to take the responsibility seriously, and believe he qualifies as the new blood some people would prefer to see. He has also demonstrated a commitment to the project through becoming accredited and working on Original Reporting. --Brian McNeil / talk 07:59, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cirt has, in my opinion, proven himself a valuable member of the community who can be trusted to handle difficult issues that might end up in front of the arbitration committee. Thus, pending acceptance, I am nominating him as a candidate. --Brian McNeil / talk 07:49, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If I may be allowed to, I would like to second Cirt nom. Cirt is one of those new generation of users who has come in after us oldies have started to go to seed,and shown a energy to wikinews that I admire. I would have no second thoughts for Cirt serving on the committee Brian | (Talk) | New Zealand Portal 09:06, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Acceptance of nomination: Thank you very much for the kind words. I accept. -- Cirt (talk) 09:13, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Although real-life tends to see Brian not here as often as I'd like, I trust him to take ArbCom duties seriously, and, unless major issues conflict, be able to make himself available to hear any case put before the committee. Thus, I'm putting in this nomination, pending acceptance. --Brian McNeil / talk 07:47, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Acceptance of nomination:

Brian has highlighted my key failings with myself on Wikinews. I do not edit as I would like to be. However, I do check in with wikinews most days, I handle checkuser requests, and the odd bcrat action (which I am often beat to!). I continue to answer Wikinews OTRS emails. So while I am not editing as much as I once was, I am still involved, and would be honoured to have the trust of the community for another 12 months.

I'd like to nominate Bawolff. He's a long-term contributor to the project, a bureaucrat, and an oversighter. I think he's quite level-headed, fair, and would overall make a good ArbCom member. Tempodivalse [talk] 01:01, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
