Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2010/Candidates/Newyorkbrad/Statement

Newyorkbrad
I present myself as a candidate for reelection to the Arbitration Committee.

It is hard to believe that it has already been three years since I was elected as an arbitrator. The community was extraordinarily kind to me in the 2007 election, and I have done my best to live up to the trust that many of you placed in me. I have worked to serve our encyclopedia, the editors who create and maintain that encyclopedia, and the outside public who rely on Wikipedia millions of times every day.

My views on the issues that will face the Arbitration Committee over the next two years, and my thoughts looking back on my service during the past three years, will almost certainly come through much more clearly in responding to questions than in any lengthy statement I could prepare in advance. I look forward to answering your questions, both on the official questions page and in any other forums that may arise. Thank you for your consideration.

(I've been asked to include in my statement a confirmation regarding any use of alternate accounts. Other than a dozen or so IP edits in 2005 or 2006 before I registered, I have edited only as Newyorkbrad.)
