It was just pointed out, Arthur Rubin is under [[Wikipedia:Editing restrictions]]: an indefinite ban from editing Tea Party Movement related articles. The Arbitration Committee had to deal with this person in a disciplinary fashion regarding his inability to be impartial.

He has a dispute with the committee, so it should be clear he has NO BUSINESS being involved ON the committee. Why is his disciplinary position not an immediate disqualification for the position? Why is this not being discussed? OsamaPJ (talk) 00:32, 8 December 2013 (UTC)

• Arthur Rubin was caught vandalizing my User Page a while back. When I filed a complaint, he lied about his actions to try to cover his tracks. It's pretty clear that he doesn't have the temperament or moral standing to be an effective member of the committee. I strongly oppose his candidacy. SimpsonDG (talk) 21:32, 8 December 2013 (UTC)
