Keithbob has over the last three years become one of the stalwarts of the Dispute Resolution Noticeboard and has had wide experience working in other administrative fora of en-Wikipedia. Except for DRN's founder, Steven Zhang, and Mr. Stradivarius, there is no other editor who has contributed as much or as regularly to DRN. Frankly, my only reservation in nominating him is that it may divert some of his attention away from DRN. Keithbob has offered to take on our currently pending case Christian terrorism as a trial and I believe we should take him up on that offer, not because of any particular doubt about his abilities, which have been fully proven at DRN, but simply so we don't have to wait for his approval before letting him take it.
For the sake of full disclosure, I would note that Keithbob has a withdrawn Request for Adminship, and was previously a participant in the TM arb case (where he was not sanctioned in any way and was cleared of the sockpuppetry allegations again raised in his RFA). I see no evidence of the concerns raised in those actions having been proven in his subsequent editing, and I believe Keithbob would be a substantial and positive contribution to the Committee. — TransporterMan (TALK) 15:07, 11 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
