Wikipedia talk:Arbitration Committee/Noticeboard: Difference between revisions

:There is a check on arb com--a considerable number of WPedians have been on the committee at one time or another--it's not that small a circle. In contrast, very few people have been on T&S, and most of them had no previous experience with WP. '''[[User:DGG| DGG]]''' ([[User talk:DGG| talk ]]) 05:00, 13 June 2019 (UTC)

:: Thanks for the honest comment about T&S. Putting on a reductionist hat, a basic truth is that WMF employees are ''required'' to protect the interests of the WMF. This is not the same as protecting the interests or values of Wikipedia. The distinction is not a hypothetical one, as those of us that have been around long enough know cases where this difference has harmed both individuals and the project. --[[User:Fæ|Fæ]] ([[User talk:Fæ|talk]]) 10:24, 13 June 2019 (UTC)

 

:::{{re|DGG}} there have been times when ARBCOM recorded publicly votes that were taken in private. That certainly happened at times when we were both on the committee. [[User:Doug Weller|<span style="color:#070">Doug Weller</span>]] [[User talk:Doug Weller|talk]] 11:31, 13 June 2019 (UTC)
