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

Hersfold

 * I've been active on Wikipedia since 2007, and currently assist Wikipedia in my roles as an Administrator, Checkuser, and Arbitration Committee Clerk. I contribute more to the background of the project, not doing much editorial work (to my regret), but I have done a good amount of work with SPI through the checkuser tool, reviewing block requests as an administrator, and assisting the Arbitration Committee in my role as a clerk.


 * It's my opinion that while there are problems with the general Arbitration Process, what we have is better than the alternative of having nothing at all of this nature. The process is not beyond repair, though, and while it's never going to be everyone's favorite (far from it), I've got a few goals I intend to pursue if elected to help address the major concerns of the community. Unfortunately, I tend to be rather verbose in situations like this, and so my goals and explanations of them won't fit in this statement. Therefore, I'll just list the goals here, and ask everyone to review User:Hersfold/Platform for my explanations and details thereof.


 * Improve communication between the Committee and the Community.
 * Improve communication between the Committee and the Clerks.
 * Get stuff done faster.
 * Sterner sanctions.
 * Community de-adminship.
 * Balance my workload better.


 * Thank you all for your consideration, and best of luck to all who run.
