I've been a Wikipedian for three years (I'm user #188) and was the first admin to be elected as a Bureaucrat. When I pushedmake longa andmistake, hardI'm forusually thequick CREATIONto of the arbitration committee and made sureadmit it had its(just currentask powers[[User:Eloquence]]).

I'm all about improving accuracy and eliminating bias. Even though occasionally I get flamed for '''holding''' POVs that other contributors dislike, I'm generally one to whom people come frequently to '''put out the flames''' when the edit wars get out of hand.

I probably have the lowest ratio of (edits reverted) to (extreme POVs held), because I'm rather good at distinguishing between "common knowledge" and "what I personally believe".

I pushed long and hard for the CREATION of the arbitration committee and made sure it had its current powers.

If elected to the arbcom, I would encourage all contributors to try courtesy and empathy first before making an appeal.
