[WikiEN-l] NPOV trainwreck

For the most part, I have been impressed - and pleased - with the speed, 
efficiency, and boldness of the ArbCom regarding this case. While I won't 
comment on any specifics of the case, I was pleasantly surprised at how fast 
the ArbCom developed this case, compared to some of the other cases that 
have apparently stalled, and how quickly it responded to requests and 
comments by all parties. Keep up your great work!
