Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2009/Candidate statements/MBK004

MBK004

 * Please see User:MBK004/Platform for more on my views of the arbitration process as well as my pledges to the community.
 * I first started editing in July 2007, became an administrator in January 2008, and a Coordinator of the Military History WikiProject in September 2008 after an unsuccessful candidacy in February of the same year. I have since been re-elected twice (in March and September of this year) with increasing levels of support each time.


 * I have collaborated with fellow editors to produce several articles/lists of Good and Featured quality, and I am currently one of several editors deeply involved with Operation Majestic Titan, a MILHIST special project which was recently mentioned in the Signpost. My editing style is closer to that of a WikiGnome than a pure content producer, and in that context I am extremely strong in behind-the-scenes activities, especially those involved in the day-to-day running of the massive infrastructure of MILHIST.


 * I do not have any axes to grind, and try to keep an open mind about most situations until I have all the facts and taken time to study them thoroughly. While it may appear that I tend to stay largely out of the public eye, I regularly stay apprised of current events in the community along with the events surrounding the Arbitration Committee. With this in mind, I humbly offer my services to the community for the next two years as an arbitrator and I look forward to your questions.
