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 (see 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 as of now the second most senior admin in this field of candidates behind only Sannse), 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 favor the emerging principles of the [[Wikipedia:Forum for Encyclopedic Standards|Forum for Encyclopedic Standards]], which I initiated.

As of now, arbitration seems to focus too much on personality instead of the merit of the edits and too much on policy instead of process. This is what I want to change. As an arbitrator, I'd favor focusing on the accuracy and constructiveness of the edits in question-- as opposed to the personalities-- to the greatest extent possible ''within the framework of the established norms, rules and procedures of the committee''.
