Support

• Few people know Dante. From what little I know of him, I feel he would make a good arbitrator. Therefore support. -- Grunt 🇪🇺 01:37, 2004 Nov 18 (UTC)

• Support. Seems like a good sysop at least. example. --Rebroad 17:01, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)
• Support. My experience with Dante is admittedly limited, but in his role as mediator he seemed willing to put in real effort to understand the conflict (much more than it seems current arbs do), to be fair and receptive to all parties, and to generally be patient, reasonable, and unassuming. If he displayed these qualities in the low-profile, often overlooked, often thankless, and perhaps even powerless job of mediator, I'd suppose that he would perform even better in the more noticeable and perhaps more important job of arbitrator. If I knew him better, I would be more sure. VeryVerily 04:01, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Oppose

• Oppose. No current mediator will get my support. All have been unresponsive to complaints. Shorne 03:18, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Just a note that I'm not exactly a "current" mediator as I'm on sabbatical from the Mediation Committee. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 01:11, Nov 26, 2004 (UTC)
    • Thank you for the information. I have withdrawn the objection. I am neutral on Dante Alighieri. Shorne 02:58, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)
