Also, I'm going to keep responses deliberately short for two reasons; firstly I'm away from home so it's hard to sit down and punch out mini-essays. Secondly, given there's 12 candidates all with lots of questions and answers, information overload is a real risk for those reading answers.

We're still around! This project has amazing resilience. Reform - have seen things like administrator elections and recall get through recently, which are both (in my opinion) steps in the right direction. It also shows the community is able to continuously improve.<br/>Pessimistic - partisanship. Reflecting the real world, opposite viewpoints are becoming further apart, and the common ground for respectful and constructive discourse seems to be narrowing. Editor retention - very concerned that not enough is being done to protect content contributors in difficult areas from disruptive actors. <a href="/wiki/User:Daniel" title="User:Daniel">Daniel</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Daniel" title="User talk:Daniel">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee_Elections_December_2024/Candidates/Daniel/Questions#c-Daniel-20241114003000-L235-20241113002000" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">00:30, 14 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Daniel-20241114003000-L235-20241113002000"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241114003000","author":"Daniel","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Daniel-20241114003000-L235-20241113002000","replies":[]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Daniel-20241114003000-L235-20241113002000"></span></div></dd></dl></li> <li><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-L235-20241113002000-L235-20241113002000"></span>Please identify a substantive decision of the committee that you disagreed with within the last 3 years, and explain why.

I offered some strident commentary post-close to those who objected to said close, about an issue fundamental to the ongoing dispute (ie. the standing of editors), and this would surely cause at least a perception of being conflicted and therefore recusal would be necessary.

This 'extraordinary' threshold would be higher than the standard threshold to accept a 'normal', public case. In short, the Committee really should have no choice but to take it, if we're taking a private case (as private evidence is something that should be resisted generally). To extend that principle further, everything possible should be made public, whether in full or summarised. I think for a private case, it should be voted on in public at every stage (acceptance at RfAR, proposed decision etc.). Finally, if the private evidence cannot be shared in a form close to completeness with the 'accused' (to use your term) to offer a response, in my opinion it shouldn't be allowed to be relied upon as justification for a decision. Natural justice is incredibly important to me, and I believe these statements reflect this position. <a href="/wiki/User:Daniel" title="User:Daniel">Daniel</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Daniel" title="User talk:Daniel">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee_Elections_December_2024/Candidates/Daniel/Questions#c-Daniel-20241114004200-Carrite-20241113194400" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">00:42, 14 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Daniel-20241114004200-Carrite-20241113194400"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241114004200","author":"Daniel","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Daniel-20241114004200-Carrite-20241113194400","replies":[]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Daniel-20241114004200-Carrite-20241113194400"></span></div></dd></dl></li> <li><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-George_Ho-20241113235100-L235-20241113002000"></span>Recently, the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrator_recall" title="Wikipedia:Administrator recall">WP:Administrator recall</a>, including <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:RRFA" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:RRFA">WP:RRFA</a>, has become <s>procedural policy</s>.

Firstly, I support administrator recall as a concept and am proud of the community for getting both this and administrator elections over the line (see answer to Q2 and my comments <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrator_elections/October_2024/Debrief&oldid=1256705708#Daniel">here</a>). That being said, I've been pretty strident in my commentary around making the recall process as 'fair' and 'humane' for administrators put through it, including challenging the length of time that a recall runs for and the ability for them to provide a structured response (back when the filer had a chance to make a statement at the top of the page). This is the same fairness and humanity-oriented approach I would take to being on ArbCom, and links to my answer to Q4 above. <br/>I'm sure many people disagree with my views on recall, either dislking the entire recall concept (which I support) or disliking the two proposed alterations (which I think the process needs to be improved), but I hope people can appreciate my views comes from a position of trying to optimise a new process and find the balance between process and people.<br/>None of this has answered your question though. In short — <i>I don't know right now</i>. Potentially issues may get kicked back to recall to deal with, although maybe they won't? Can being recalled/having a RRfA become a proposed remedy? The only thing I do think will happen with some level of confidence is that I expect that at least some ADMINCOND cases that would have ended up at ArbCom may not any more, as they will be short-circuited by ending up at recall instead. I look at very recent examples such as <i>Arbitration motion regarding Marine 69-71</i> as being one that likely wouldn't end up at ArbCom in 2025 on this basis. <a href="/wiki/User:Daniel" title="User:Daniel">Daniel</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Daniel" title="User talk:Daniel">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee_Elections_December_2024/Candidates/Daniel/Questions#c-Daniel-20241114005200-George_Ho-20241113235100" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">00:52, 14 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Daniel-20241114005200-George_Ho-20241113235100"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241114005200","author":"Daniel","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Daniel-20241114005200-George_Ho-20241113235100","replies":["c-George_Ho-20241124013700-Daniel-20241114005200"]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Daniel-20241114005200-George_Ho-20241113235100"></span></div> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-George_Ho-20241124013700-Daniel-20241114005200"></span>Just for an update, the consensus at a VP discussion decided (<span class="plainlinks"><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=&diff=prev&oldid=1258993204">diff</a></span>) to no longer label RRFA a "policy". <a href="/wiki/User:George_Ho" title="User:George Ho">George Ho</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:George_Ho" title="User talk:George Ho">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee_Elections_December_2024/Candidates/Daniel/Questions#c-George_Ho-20241124013700-Daniel-20241114005200" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">01:37, 24 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-George_Ho-20241124013700-Daniel-20241114005200"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241124013700","author":"George Ho","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-George_Ho-20241124013700-Daniel-20241114005200","replies":[]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-George_Ho-20241124013700-Daniel-20241114005200"></span></dd></dl></dd></dl></li> <li><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Tinynanorobots-20241114100100-L235-20241113002000"></span>Do you think that committee members should go into an ArbCom case with the goal to implement a specific remedy, regardless of preliminary evidence, or should committee members try and approach the case with an open mind? <a href="/wiki/User:Tinynanorobots" title="User:Tinynanorobots">Tinynanorobots</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Tinynanorobots" title="User talk:Tinynanorobots">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee_Elections_December_2024/Candidates/Daniel/Questions#c-Tinynanorobots-20241114100100-L235-20241113002000" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">10:01, 14 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Tinynanorobots-20241114100100-L235-20241113002000"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241114100100","author":"Tinynanorobots","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Tinynanorobots-20241114100100-L235-20241113002000","replies":["c-Daniel-20241115223500-Tinynanorobots-20241114100100"]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Tinynanorobots-20241114100100-L235-20241113002000"></span> <dl><dd><div style="background-color: var(--background-color-neutral-subtle, #f8f9fa); color: inherit; padding: 5px 10px; border: 1px solid #000;"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Daniel-20241115223500-Tinynanorobots-20241114100100"></span>Absolutely not. They need to have an idea that they can apply some sort of remedy that will be effective based on the information presented at the filing at RfAr, otherwise there's no point accepting the case (eg. content disputes should be declined). But, in terms of actual specifics, if a case is accepted it is opened to explore all possible outcomes based on the evidence presented. Where the facts aren't in dispute, for example the recent desysopping of Marine 69-71, motions can provide an efficient solution to a problem that doesn't require the exploration of a whole case. But if you open a case to explore an issue, it should be done with an open mind, and comments to the contrary of this should be avoided by arbitrators at the acceptance stage with their votes to accept/decline (something that hasn't been done particularly well this year.) <a href="/wiki/User:Daniel" title="User:Daniel">Daniel</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Daniel" title="User talk:Daniel">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee_Elections_December_2024/Candidates/Daniel/Questions#c-Daniel-20241115223500-Tinynanorobots-20241114100100" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">22:35, 15 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Daniel-20241115223500-Tinynanorobots-20241114100100"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241115223500","author":"Daniel","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Daniel-20241115223500-Tinynanorobots-20241114100100","replies":[]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Daniel-20241115223500-Tinynanorobots-20241114100100"></span></div></dd></dl></li> <li><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Martinevans123-20241114195400-L235-20241113002000"></span>Topical and somewhat urgent question: what's your view on the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:2024_open_letter_to_the_Wikimedia_Foundation" title="Wikipedia:2024 open letter to the Wikimedia Foundation">Wikipedia:2024 open letter to the Wikimedia Foundation</a> and the RfC <b><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)#RfC:_Should_a_blackout_be_organized_in_protest_of_the_Wikimedia_Foundation's_actions?" title="Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)">here</a></b>?

This role (that I've been in since mid-2023) is what is providing me the flexibility and time to edit more reliably. With the second part, there is only one month that is less than 160 edits (July, 116), so "not edited much more than 100 edits [per month]" seems like quite a harsh way to generalise that dataset (179, 192, 168, 166 and 192 are presumably the numbers you are talking about when you say "several other months"). But secondly and most importantly for me, the quality of the edits is far more important. Closing complex DRV's, closing ANI discussions, reading community conversations etc. all take time that isn't reflected in edit count. If a voter wants a machine who pumps out 2,000 edits a month, I am not their candidate. But more specifically, I don't think volume equals value when it comes to being an arbitrator.<br/>However, if we're crunching the numbers, I believe a more fair stat that better reflects <i>availability</i> is "how many unique days this year have I edited on" - and using UTC days for no other reason than its the easiest arbitrary dataset to review, I have edited on pretty much two-thirds of all unique days this year to the end of October (201 out of 305, or <b>65.9%</b> of unique UTC days). I have a data dump summary <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Daniel&oldid=1257796694">here</a> of the raw data if that helps break it down for you and others, but I am always around, always reading discussions, even if sometimes I can't edit that particular day as easily if I'm away from my desk. (For context as to that number of days edited, I am likely to spend nearly 175 days away from home this year between work and vacation come December 31— so I think I'm doing OK on the edit front count considering that! As mentioned in my nomination statement, I am on emails and on my phone every day and stay up to date with things, even if I've only edit on two-thirds of days this year so far. <a href="/wiki/User:Daniel" title="User:Daniel">Daniel</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Daniel" title="User talk:Daniel">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee_Elections_December_2024/Candidates/Daniel/Questions#c-Daniel-20241116181600-Ealdgyth-20241117143400" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">18:16, 16 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Daniel-20241116181600-Ealdgyth-20241117143400"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241116181600","author":"Daniel","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Daniel-20241116181600-Ealdgyth-20241117143400","replies":[]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Daniel-20241116181600-Ealdgyth-20241117143400"></span></div></dd></dl></li> <li><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Ealdgyth-20241117143400-L235-20241113002000-1"></span>You mention involvement in community discussions at the noticeboards - can you give some examples of where you think your involvement has helped resolve conflicts?

The Committee explicitly noted this timing will allow the incoming Committee to participate and vote on PIA5. On that basis, I won't be providing any direct comments in response as it will be potentially prejudicial to assessing the evidence presented and subsequently voting on a decision. In more general terms, it is clear that more needs to be done in this whole topic area to protect good-faith editors and resist covert co-ordinated disruption, hence why the Committee has accepted PIA5. This will all (hopefully) be explored in the PIA5 with evidence presented by users, decisions workshopped and eventually voted on by both the outgoing and incoming Committees. <a href="/wiki/User:Daniel" title="User:Daniel">Daniel</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Daniel" title="User talk:Daniel">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee_Elections_December_2024/Candidates/Daniel/Questions#c-Daniel-20241120042200-Luxofluxo-20241119212200" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">04:22, 20 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Daniel-20241120042200-Luxofluxo-20241119212200"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241120042200","author":"Daniel","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Daniel-20241120042200-Luxofluxo-20241119212200","replies":[]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Daniel-20241120042200-Luxofluxo-20241119212200"></span></div></dd></dl></li> <li><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Robert_McClenon-20241120055800-L235-20241113002000"></span>There have been and will be public cases involving private evidence.

Editors will bend the rules in order to ensure that their positions are established in the articles (ie deleting any unfavorable edits to pages describing their preferred parties, claiming sources such as Al Jazeera are considered trustworthy while Jerusalem Post is not etc) resulting in a growing mistrust in articles on this platform. Biased editors will also ban or threaten to ban any editors who undo their biased edits and deletions.
