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

Geni
I've been around wikipedia for over a decade now. In that time pretty much been everywhere and done everything. Been an admin for much of that time and been politically involved enough to be aware of why our policies and practices are what they are. I read far more than I get directly involved these days but I'm still pretty aware of what is going on.

I'm not going to say I'm running to shake things up because other than the eternal problem of things taking a long time I think arbcom currently handles things pretty well. Mostly what I would bring to the committee would be shear breadth of experience. From editing through admining through OTRS to trying to appear serious in front of representatives of governments bodies I've been there. And I literally have the T-shirts.

In terms of time availability my work patterns mean that there will at least be a couple of days a week where I have a lot of time to deal with things.

Disclosures: I have created various declared socks over the years for various reasons. Most include the name “Geni” and only user:Genisock2 could be considered still in use.

I confirm I will fully comply with the WMF's criteria for access to non-public data
