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

NuclearWarfare

 * Hi, I'm NW. I have been an editor here since 2007 and an administrator since 2009. I have participated in a number of areas of the project, including article writing, arbitration, administrative work, OTRS, oversight, and policy discussion. I am running for the Committee because I feel like I have something to contribute in helping settle disputes in a manner that is most beneficial for those who want to be able to peacefully ignore the Wikipedia administration and edit according to our core content policies in peace. I have certainly not been a perfect editor, and I have made my fair share of mistakes as well as taken actions that other editors have reasonably disagreed with. I imagine the same will continue to be the case if I am elected to the Committee. But I will also endeavor to always listen to and comprehend other editors' thoughts and only then take the actions that I feel is best supported by our core policies as I understand them. I am by no means the most eloquent of people, so I would prefer to keep this fairly short. Please feel free to ask me questions if you have any. I have already identified to the WMF and disclosed all alternate accounts to both the community and the Arbitration Committee.
