Just my thoughts on how I think I will vote based on nominee’s responses to the questions and my own personal thoughts and interactions (or lack thereof). Note that “not an admin” to me is just a cop out and an enforcement of Wikipedia’s growing class divide between the “Haves” and “Havenots”.
Those that are blank are those that I’m thinking about. Chances are they will be automatic opposes if they have limited article space work such that I cannot gauge who or what they are.

| AnthonyQBachler | Nope – needs more articlespace edits....a lot more in fact. |  Oppose

| Carcharoth | Performance during Matthew Hoffman case was suspect. | Oppose
|
| Casliber | Yes, good nominee cuts thru some of the guff (not all) supports science (generally speaking). And for that - receives my support. |  Support
|
| Charles Matthews | Nope – tends to support anti-science civil POV pushers. Besides time for new blood - current ArbCom seems to making too many determinations which the Community disagrees with. | Oppose

| Jehochman | Yes, most definitely. Gets to the heart of the matter much to the undisguised disgust of those who would rather they get brushed under the carpet. Although I have to admit, he seems to be lately (ie/ in the last couple of months) trying to obtain a "middle ground" which is just presenting himself as highly confused rather than the decisive individual we have all being familiar with. This could be a result of him attempting to "retreat to the centre" in order to be more presentable to his detractors for this ArbCom. I honestly hope it as, only as the new-Jehochman is not the Jehochman that I voted support for in this election. I will definitely oppose the new-Jehochman in future ArbCom elections. | Support

| Justice America | Nah - need another couple of thousand articlespace edits. So at this rate, maybe in 40 or so years time? | Oppose

| RMHED | Excellent nominee – pro science. | Support
|
| Roger Davies | Wow, this guys certainly has slipped under my radar. I like what he has done and his responses to many questions. I also like the fact that I haven't encountered him which tends to imply that he stays well outside the dramazone. A lot of his work indicates that he is pro science, and I like pro-science. | Support

| Shell Kinney | Elonka meatpuppet (see WR). Although she does appear to be moving out of that sphere in recent times. Maybe next year. | Oppose
|
| SirFozzie | Like how this guy edits and how he acts in the moar dramaz. Good nominee. | Support
|
| The Fat Man Who Never Came Back | While seems flippant – it only seems to be to upseting Those-Who-Should-Know-Better. When serious – has excellent grasp on the issue(s). Heck even when flippant still has a grasp on the issue(s). | Support

| Wizardman | Dang - on the whole I quite like Wizardman and his edits but this response just screams to me that he's more interested in pleasing those who don't understand science and who fail to accomdate it. | Oppose
|
| WJBscribe | Suspect - Elonka meat puppet (see comments on WR) | Oppose
