I'd like to enter myself into the race. Members of the arbitration committee should see the bigger picture and better distinguish between users mucking up Wikipedia with inane rubbish and users dedicated to writing a serious, quality encyclopedia. As an active user since December 2002 (ranked #60 on the most recent list of [[Wikipedia:List of Wikipedians by number of edits|list of most active on all namespaces]]), administrator since May 2003 [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Wikipedia:Administrators&diff=913061&oldid=912977] (making me the most senior admin in this field of candidates), and main author of a few featured articles, I can see this big picture; and my user history clearly demonstrates a commitment to making this into a viable encyclopedia and to fighting for scholarly standards on Wikipedia.

I have many kind people to thank for invaluable [[User:Merovingian/archive|advice]] given to me throughout my tenure here.

Let it be known that I have '''no''' animosity toward any of my opponents. I welcome any of their questions on [[User talk:Merovingian|my talk page]].

Line 116 ⟶ 112:

I want to see the arbitration committee focus on being excellent arbiters of what is and what is not productive for the WP project, looking a reasonable amount of time into the future. To this end, I think the AC should respond '''quickly''' and '''prolifically''' to requests, and should shy away from micromanaging ''sentencing'' and endless agonizing over ''intent''.

More effective than explicit banning, for some fixed period : removing the standard restrictions on interactions with a given user/article -- for instance, allowing automatic reversion of a user's edits to certain topics; or allowing a user to be banned by any sysop for any reason (allowing for other sysops to disagree & unban, or hammer out the details of ban duration [unlike an explicit, irrevocable ArbComm Ruling]) -- continuing to leave sentencing decisions in the hands of the broader body of users|admins. More comments and questions can be found on [[User_Talk:Sj#ArbComm|my talk page]]. [[User:Sj|+sj]][[User Talk:Sj|<fontspan colorstyle="color:#ff6996;">+</fontspan>]]
