actually an arbitrator, just commented on cases. I have to admit I wondered where he came
from. Turned out he came from naive acceptance of his fraudulent qualifications, which I
afraid I did not question.
According to the timeline on [[WP:ARBCOM]], he was an appointed
arbitrator for a very short period - I don't remember the
circumstances of his appointment. I never questioned it, though...
Appointed around the time he became a wikia employee. I think to
replace someone or grow arbcom one of the two.
Prior to that Jimbo's early appointments were back when the great and
the good of the project were fairly obvious and he was more involved.
Latter appointments were for the most part former arbcom members the
exception being kelly martin.
