Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2010/Candidates/David Fuchs/Statement

David Fuchs


Many people who don't haunt WP:FAC, WP:GAN, or WP:PR probably don't know me. I joined Wikipedia sometime back in 2005, became an admin in 2007, and have been editing fairly consistently since (for those history-minded chaps out there, I was also a runner-up in the 2007 ACE). I'll keep this stuff short, because I imagine the questions are where the real action happens.

My belief is that we should all be here to—in some way or form—create an encyclopedia, and all of ArbCom's actions should be mindful of that. Fostering a site that allows editors to work diligently means having an Arbitration Committee that acts fairly, quickly, and prudently. If elected, this would be my aim.

Username business: I for a short time operated an alt account, Derklin, intending to use that as my cleanup and anti-vandalism account. I realized that this idea was a waste of time and energy and haven't used it in a long time. Other than that, I've always gone by this moniker onwiki.
