Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2012/Candidates/Ks0stm/Statement

Ks0stm

 * Greetings all! My name is Steve, but I'm preferably known as Ks0stm on Wikimedia projects. I've had an account on Wikipedia since May of 2007, but I didn't really become active until late 2009. I'm not the most prolific content writer, but I have produced three Good Articles. I became an administrator in September 2011. As an administrator I haven't focused on any one particular area; I pitch in wherever I feel like I can help out at a given time. I also help out with OTRS.


 * Having read AGK's essay to candidates and been observant of Arbs, I realize that serving on ArbCom requires a significant time commitment and is by no means an easy way to serve the Wikipedia community. Despite this I would be more than willing to volunteer my time and effort as a member of the Arbitration Committee for the next two years. If elected to the committee I believe some of the best assets I would bring to the table would be my empathy and the fact that I always try to be as confident as I can before taking action, both of which I believe would help me to consider all matters with fairness and diligence. I also am and always will be open to criticism and strive to be humble at all times.


 * I am willing to fully comply with the criteria for access to non-public data, including identifying to the Wikimedia Foundation. Other than a few IP edits from before May 2007, I have only ever edited from this account and my alternate accounts User:Ks5stm and User:Ks0spy. I also have User:KsØstm as a doppelgänger.
