This is my voter guide, in progress. I've now examined every candidate's background, statement, and questions at least once, but for some candidates I have to wait until they answer more questions before making a decision.
The table below shows only candidates who are admins already. It's exceedingly unlikely that a candidate who hasn't passed RfA yet would win in the ArbCom election. When it comes to non-admins, I will oppose some and abstain on the rest.
The following are the big issues for me:
Now, just appearing responsible and fair and saying positive things about science doesn't necessarily get a candidate my endorsement. The most effective approval voting ballot is one that gives an equal number of supports and opposes to the viable candidates, and I aim to at least approximate that, despite that we have many good candidates this year. This puts me in the position where I will have to oppose some very qualified and respected Wikipedians just because I don't support them enough. Try not to take it too personally, candidates.

Caspian blue | Even though it risks becoming too detached from the actual decision, this page makes my inner statistics geek happy. It would be happier if Nate Silver were to step in and call the result of the ArbCom election, but given the improbability of that, I'll settle for this meta-guide. |
Ameliorate! | Unfortunate. Sows division among Wikipedians for no purpose, not even humor. |
