My question to all candidates:

“

How can Wikipedia better communicate its processes to outsiders?

”

Some of the answers I have received are unimpressive.

Support

Drmies - Has a sense of humour and often provided unique perspectives in ArbCom cases during his tenure as arbitrator.
Isarra - As a MediaWiki software developer, her technical skills are an asset to the committee. Level-headed and is able to see the issues of ArbCom. Answers to questions show nuance.
Mkdw - Good answer to my question. I love the fact that he emphasises transparency, which is important as it allows the community to trust that decisions are made fairly. Has been great as an arb.
SilkTork - Good answer to my question and has the correct attitude towards ArbCom: it is not above the community. Has been a great arb and has shown his dedication to the project.

GorillaWarfare - Experienced and resilient, has demonstrated herself as a valuable arb. I don't like her questions to Salvidrim in the 2016 election but that is minor in the grand scheme of things.
Joe Roe - Will be competent as an arbitrator. Good answer to my question.
Robert McClenon - While I may not always agree with his views, he has shown himself to be an editor acting in the best interests of Wikipedia and would likely bring new perspectives.

Courcelles - I cannot support a candidate married to a WMF employee, considering WP:CANCER.
DGG - DGG is a lot like Jordan Peterson: a person who loves to use complex words and phrasing but is utterly unable to convey any basic reasoning for his judgments. What exactly is he trying to say with a unverbalized system of successive approximation? He has been disappointing as an Arb.
Fred Bauder - I have nothing to add.

AGK - I don't like how he is jumping into ArbCom straight out of retirement, but otherwise he was a good Arb.
Kelapstick - Has been a good arbitrator, but I dislike his answer to my question. As other candidates have pointed out, Wikipedia policies are often difficult to understand by non-insiders.
Lourdes - An editor who is not afraid to speak her views in the face of pressure. I especially like how she started this RfC – it's unfortunate that so many editors I respect think that this is even a controversial issue. She will bring a lot of common sense to the committee. However, her not answering questions is concerning.
