Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2018/Candidates/Doug Weller

I'm Doug Weller (my real name) and I have been an editor since April 2006, an administrator since September 2008, and a member of the Arbitration Committee since January 2015. I'm also a fairly active editor and of my about 191,000 edits 49.5% are to WP:Main space. My only alternate accounts are User:DougWeller and User:Dougweller each of which has 2 edits and is dormant.

The number of cases coming before the Committee has declined but there can be significant delays, both in accepting or declining cases, and in reaching a decision. The Committee has to deal with a lot of email, and again there can be significant delays before they are handled. If re-elected I will do what I can to minimize those delays. During the four years I have been an arbitrator I believe that I have been open-minded and willing to change my mind when new arguments are presented. That won't change.

I'm identified with the WMF and meet the requirements specified in the access to nonpublic information policy.
