Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2009/Candidate statements/Cla68

Cla68

 * I've edited Wikipedia with an account since around January 2006. I've mainly focused on writing articles, primarily in military history.  I'm currently seventh on this list of editors with successful featured nominations.  To be clear, however, none of those articles would have made it without assistance, advice, or review by other editors, for which I am very grateful.


 * I served as an assistant coordinator for the Military History Project for six months. Other than that, I have not served in any other type of formal, elected capacity within en.Wikipedia.  My one attempt as an administrator candidate in 2007 was unsuccessful.


 * I think the Committee made a lot of progress this year, both in making good case decisions and in improving governance over its area of responsbility in Wikipedia by organizing committees and delegating some responsibility. I hope this next year will see further progress.  I look forward to your questions.
