Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2007/Candidate statements/LordHarris

LordHarris
Hello, my name is Harry Harris. I’m running to be a member of ArbCom because I want to resolve problems and I know I’ll give each case all my energy, effort and above all deliberation. I take great pride in resolving arguments, in finding answers and in reaching a compromise, both in my personal life and on the encyclopedia.

The great thing about wikipedia is that everyone has a chance to contribute. The sad thing is that we occasionally disagree. As a last resort, the Arbitration committee considers the disagreement and issues a decision after considering all the arguments. I would strive to ensure this is done. I would endeavor to ensure that the wikipedia is protected and that those who rule break are dealt with. But in doing so I would maintain impartiality and I would ensure that the policies and aspirations of the project and its users are considered. I welcome the challenges that ArbCom offers. I also welcome any questions you might have. LordHarris (talk) 22:33, 27 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Questions for the candidate
 * Questions for the candidate

Withdraw Please After recieving some questions and also reading through other users replies to their own questions I have come to the conclusion that I am not yet ready for ArbCom. I have read the policies and paid attention to some of the cases but I think I'm not immersed enough within the dispute resolution process as a whole. Over the coming months I will spend more time watching the process and commenting where possible. I think I would be a good member of the committee and I know I would respond to the challenges. Ultimately though, after further deliberation and some questions (of which I thank those who asked them) I am not ready. Could somebody please therefore remove my nomination to the withdrawn candidates section. I will be back to vote when the elections start as there are some great candidates here and thank you all for the chance to nominate myself. Good Luck to everyone.
