Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2014/Candidates/DeltaQuad/Statement

DeltaQuad

 * Hello all, I'm DeltaQuad. I've been an Administrator since May 2011 and CheckUser July 2012. I'm also currently a standby member for the Audit Subcommittee. I'm currently concerned not only that we don't have enough candidates, we do not have a solid group to choose from to do the crazy job of an arbitrator. Therefore I'm running in hope that others who I know would well serve the committee also stand.


 * Right now we have an overloaded, busy Arbitration Committee that the community has lost a significant amount of faith in. It's not a healthy mix. It needs a fix, even if it's a slow daunting band-aid by band-aid fix until things are stable again. I would like to see the Arbitration Committee hand some tasks over to the community, such as the Ban Appeals Sub-Committee. While I'm not sure how everything would look like in the end, the less Arbitrators we have for a specified task that isn't sensitive or directly under ArbCom remit (aka a case), the better. I'll support any reasonable proposal to do so. I won't get into specifics with that right at this moment though. The other major reason that I am running, is to help alleviate some of the administrative backlog that the committee deals with such as email response and yearly activities (CU/OS/AUSC noms & reports).


 * The community is and should be a candidates' biggest priority as being an Arbitrator if elected. You, each individual voter and contributor matters to continue to build a successful encyclopedia. As any candidate should already do, Arbitrators should listen with a fair and open mind, stop disruption, and enable the wiki to flow as smoothly as possible. Whether using harder corrective measures such as blocks and bans or giving people second chances; I will always read into the issue an be informed to well serve the community, and put them first.
