I can't hold a candlecompare to most of the other users listed herecandidates, but I am running anyway, mainly due to my abundant possessionabundancy of free time. I have been editing Wikipedia since September 2003, but began full-time editing circa February this year; I was elected as a sysop in June. I have been involved in online communities since 1999, and as such, have gained much insight into the nature of individuals arguing online. I was also the main author of [[Wikipedia:Preliminary Deletion|Preliminary Deletion]].
I believe that all arbcom decisions should be made based on the effect they will have in the long term on our community,; evenif thoughthis itnecessitates woulda painlong meban, toso sanctionbe or outright ban certain usersit. However, I believe that it is possible to reform certain troublemakers, through judicial and prudent methods, such as assigning handlers to them, such as was done in the case of Michael/Mike Garcia. It all depends on whether the user edits in good faith, like [[User:Wik|Wik]], or clearly has a bone to pick.
I am againstoppose taking outrageous actions to prove a point; just because a certain decisionsomething makes sense does not give one licence to do so without consulting the community. As such, unilateral actions such as that Guanaco took in unbanning Michael without first consulting the community or some higher authority, should be condemned.
Lastly, I think the arbitration process should be sped up; for example, the case of [[User:Reithy|Reithy]] and [[User:Chuck F|Chuck F]] is quite clearcut, yet is still in the evidence stage. I would propose and support measures that would speeddo up the arbitration processthis, including but not limited to several of the suggestions made by other candidates. onHaving thisto page;wait athree long,months drawn-outfor a verdict is a disservice both to the parties involved and the community.everyone
