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

Stanistani
I am running for the Arbitration Committee because I started here as an editor with the idealism many of you still share, and have some of the disillusionment that others here endure. My goals are simple. If elected, I will do the Committee's work, keep confidential information confidential, and represent no interest except the Community's.

I am not an administrator. If elected, I will subject myself to an RfA to obtain the tools, strictly for the purpose of handling ARBCOM duties, and resign the the admin rights at the end of my term.

My other well-known association with Wikipedia is as a system administrator and content creator for the Wikipedia criticism site Wikipediocracy (member name Zoloft). I pledge to fully comply with the Wikimedia Foundation's criteria for access to non-public data, including not disclosing any such information I gain to Wikipediocracy (I do add a caveat that there are likely to be members of ARBCOM who are also members of Wikipediocracy. Discussions of ARBCOM confidential business by me will not be on Wikipediocracy, but on ARBCOM channels if I am elected.).

Why am I running? Because I feel the Wikipedia community needs a voice of reform and a critical eye on the Arbitration Committee. If elected, I promise you that I will work hard for you, be honest, be as transparent as confidentiality allows, and give you an exit interview when my term is over. Disclaimers: I have only the one account. I agree to identify to the Foundation if elected and comply with its rules as an Arbitrator.
