Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2014/Candidates/Ks0stm/Statement

Ks0stm

 * Greetings! I'm Ks0stm, and I've decided I'll throw my hat into the ring for ArbCom (again; I ran each of the past two elections, finishing with 51% support and a whole lot of abstentions last year). I've been on Wikipedia since 2007, an admin since 2011, and am an oversighter and OTRS volunteer. I've also been an arbitration clerk for a couple years now, so I'm well familiar with the Arbitration process and procedures. I recognize that I haven't been the most active editor over the last year (mostly due to my spending my free time doing things other than Wikipedia), but if elected to ArbCom I will make it a point to spend the necessary time fulfilling the responsibilities that come with being on the committee.


 * I don't necessarily see any reason to propose wholesale reforms of ArbCom if I'm elected; I'm sure there are things here and there that could be tweaked to make the process and committee function more efficiently, but I'll reserve judgement of what those tweaks could be until I'm familiar with how the committee functions internally.


 * In the interest of keeping this simple and brief I'll leave it at that; if there's anything else you want to know, by all means please ask.
