Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2011/Candidates/DeltaQuad/Statement

DeltaQuad
Hello Everyone, I'm DeltaQuad, a metapedian usually working with the inner workings of Wikipedia. Right off the bat, I’ll be the first one to admit, my content contributions are lacking, but I believe that I still have a fundamental understanding even if I don’t edit articles much. I my work is primarily done with Sockpuppet investigations and Unblock-en-l. I am an administrator, currently taking a month break to understand the position of a non-admin again, and to let things run a little easier in my personal life for a bit.

I do also keep up generally with the committee proceedings weekly or so though I can not verify it. I'm running because I'm wanting to bring bring the editors opinion into the committee. I am not 100% clear on what procedure is, but I do know the basics.

Some might ask why I’m running with not much experience in the areas that ArbCom is. This is a hard job, which needs to be continued to be done by people who understand the editors, not just the content behind the Wiki. I do not dismiss, by any measure, that content based editors on the committee are needed. I feel though that my contributions would be an understanding of the individual editor. I interact with editors on IRC, though I do clearly understand that IRC is not Wikipedia. The Arbitration Committee, at times, has had its faults, but it’s bound to happen, and we are all human. Without the human factor I might as well be a programed bot run on the toolserver. (I’m speaking sarcastically of course) But with the addition of humanity, I think there comes an understanding of what happens.

I am an administrator as I stated above, on break. I run several bot tasks including the bot that runs at Usernames for administrator attention. I am an OTRS member, and I moderate 2 mailing lists. I am an active subscriber to unblock-en-l also. I am also a proxy checker.
