I don't have anything against Sven Manguard, but I noticed that he or she recently attempted to do what Fae did (i.e. using WP:CLEANSTART in order to not disclose a previous account):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Req...p/Sven_ManguardAs with Fae, Sven had an ArbCom member (Xeno) backing him or her:

I can confirm that [[User:Sven Manguard]] contacted the Arbitration Committee in 2010 to disclose his former username and advise of this [[Wikipedia:Clean start|clean start]]. –[[user:xeno|<font face="verdana" color="black">'''xeno'''</font>]][[user talk:xeno|<font color="black"><sup>talk</sup></font>]] 19:07, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

I can confirm that [[User:Sven Manguard]] contacted the Arbitration Committee in 2010 to disclose his former username and advise of this [[Wikipedia:Clean start|clean start]]. A record of this exists in our internal records, so any sitting arbitrator who cared to check could verify that the recommended disclosure has been made. –[[user:xeno|<font face="verdana" color="black">'''xeno'''</font>]][[user talk:xeno|<font color="black"><sup>talk</sup></font>]] 19:10, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

To the best of my knowledge, the candidate has appropriately complied with both the [[WP:SOCK]] and the related [[WP:CLEANSTART]] policies. –[[user:xeno|<font face="verdana" color="black">'''xeno'''</font>]][[user talk:xeno|<font color="black"><sup>talk</sup></font>]] 19:21, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

[[User:Sven Manguard]] contacted arbcom-l in 2010 and informed the entire committee of the clean start - a record of this disclosure exists in the committee's internal records for any sitting arbitrator to review. –[[user:xeno|<font face="verdana" color="black">'''xeno'''</font>]][[user talk:xeno|<font color="black"><sup>talk</sup></font>]] 19:27, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
Also, this revision:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...oldid=469743173What is the "recent case" that Sven is referring to? If there's a "recent case" that caused users to change their attitudes concerning CLEANSTART sysops, then perhaps someone should capitalize on that change in attitude and propose that WP:CLEANSTART shouldn't apply to those attempting to become sysops.
