First of all, happy new year to all voters. I have been working here for three years and three months. While I know that along doesn't mean I could be an arbitrator, I promise if I am honored with such position I will do my best to maintain discrepances according to wikipedia principles, and to keep expanding wikipedia into the website I think it will be, in other words, the website of the 00's. Furthermore, I will keep pursuing unity among writers. Antonio New year, new resolutions Martin 12:37, 1 January, 2006 (UTC)

Questions from -Ril-

Do you hold any strong political or religious opinions (e.g. concerning George Bush, Islam, or on which end you should break a boiled egg)? If so, would you recuse yourself from cases centred on these?
I have strong political views, like anyone else. As far as Religious views, I don't. My neighbor practices Islam and I'm a Christian and we are very good friends. If the occasion shall arise where I neeed to intervene in a case of Democrat vs. Republican, I would study the case and solve the dispute by asking them to help peace prevail. After all, we see enough war as it is anyways, and everyone has a "side" of the story, whether it be right or wrong. Also, remind people that Wikipedia is a vehicle to learn, not to create disputes. Antonio Mr. McCartney Martin.


How willing are you to contest the decisions of other arbitrators rather than just "go with the flow"?
If another arbitrator contests my decision, I would talk directly to the arbitrator. Arguing with other arbitrators would not be a solution, it shows a bad example of dispute-settlers. A middle point can always be reached with diplomacy. Antonio Dancing Chair Martin.
Do you view all requests to re-address cases, particularly requests made by those most penalised, as being automatically without merit?
No. Every request is worthy of a look precisely because of our responsability to be fair to each side. Antonio World Boxing Council Martin
In the case against Yuber, it was decided by the arbitration committee that it is the duty of arbitrators to investigate, and rule on the behaviour of not only one party involved, but all of them. Do you support this decision?
Definitely. Fairness at Wikipedia is based upon investigation. If someone is constantly attempting to disrupt our job as information spreaders, then we need to talk to the person who does that and if the person is non-responsive to talk, then we need to proceed accordingly.
