Question from Peacemaker67

  1. What do you think about the decision to accept Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/German war effort? In particular, considering the lack of prior dispute resolution attempts or attempt to use ANI to deal with the behavioural issues. Why or why not?
    As I mentioned in my statement, ArbCom should be a mechanism of last resort. I think the decision to accept the case was a poor one based on the initial filing. That said, ANI can be ineffective at handling long-term behavioral issues and if a tightly defined case had been made detailing such issues with illustrations that community options had been exhausted, accepting would be reasonable. --Laser brain (talk) 00:25, 10 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Rschen7754

  1. Why did you resign adminship in 2017? --Rschen7754 05:55, 10 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]


Question from Carrite

  1. What's the biggest problem with Arbcom? Is it fixable or inherent?

Question from Banedon

  1. Were there any votes in the last few years which you would have voted against what turned out to be the majority decision? If so, which, and why?
  1. If the answer to the above is no, how would you have voted on certain remedies that split the current committee? Feel free to pick your own remedies; otherwise you can also choose from these: [1], [2], [3]. (Feel free to answer this question as well even if the answer to the above is "yes", although it likely won't be necessary.)

Questions from Newslinger

  1. When, if ever, would discretionary sanctions be an appropriate countermeasure against paid editing?
  2. To what extent, if any, should the Arbitration Committee endorse the adoption of two-factor authentication on Wikipedia?
