It's election season once again on Wikipedia, and that means it's time for the 2021 edition of my ArbCom voting guide. As I said last year, I have no idea if anyone will read or care about this, but I was going to end up making something like this anyway, so I might as well put it here on the off-chance that it’s useful to other voters.

Note: if you want to see symbols next to the support/oppose/neutral text in this table, may I recommend the Vote Symbols userscript?

This guide is a work in progress.

All my ArbCom voting guides: 2024 • 2023 • 2022 • 2021 • 2020 • 2019

Candidate	Vote	Other comments
Worm That Turned (talk · contribs)	Support	WTT has been one of the most trusted users on Wikipedia for a while now, and for good reason. He makes positive contributions in many areas of Wikipedia governance, from cratting to ArbCom. Easy support.
Beeblebrox (talk · contribs)	Support	Current arb that I haven’t had any issues with yet. His activity on a prominent Wikipedia hate site that I will not mention here is a yellow flag, but his comments on that site on the Eostrix thread were constructive and insightful, all be it brief. Props as well for being the first arb to join the conversation on WT:ACN about the block.
Banedon (talk · contribs)	Oppose	In general, I only support ArbCom candidates who are currently admins, because I feel that being an arbitrator requires a certain level of both experience and community trust that only current admins have. This user’s highest rank is extended confirmed, so I feel that they are not quite ready to be an arb yet. Furthermore, their decision to call out one of the other candidates by name in their opening statement ("Unlike Worm That Turned, I am idealistic") raises questions about their temperament.
