James F. is, in my opinion, a model arbitrator -- sensible, careful, rational, and hard-working. I wholeheartedly endorse his campaign for reelection: Jimmy chose well when he asked James F. to serve on the initial AC, and I believe the choice is no less clear now.

Support! Has many times proved his worth to the arbcom. -- Grunt🇪🇺 01:37, 2004 Nov 18 (UTC)
Oppose Based on his handling of the VeryVerily, Shore, and Gz cases. I have been hesitant to post disendorsements and I haven't so far; but I am brining myself to do so reluctantly in this case in order to spark a much needed discussion concerning the incumbent Arbitration Committee. Alienating and banning three valuable contributors for two months instead of thinking of a creative way of settling disputes over the inherently contentious topics on which these users write does not serve the community well. We need more creative problem-solvers on the Arbcom. 172 09:57, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Oppose. This person, a member of the arbitration commitee, has tried to make me loosen my objections on Talk:Princess Olga of Greece and Denmark using a pro-"Western world" advocacy (bigotry) that offends people of the Orient. Such short-sightedness can harm the spirit within Wikipedia's community, that is (and has to be) multinational. Furthermore, if someone who claims to represent the lowest common denominator of common sense in the so-called "Western world" has his way, then there's no chance for the rest of us to prove any point against him.
