Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2020/Candidates

The nomination statements of editors running in the 2020 Arbitration Committee elections appear below.


 * Eligibility criteria
 * An editor is eligible to stand as a candidate who:
 * (i) has a registered account and has made at least 500 mainspace edits before 1 November 2020,
 * (ii) is not subject to active blocks or site-bans,
 * (iii) meets the Wikimedia Foundation's criteria for access to non-public data, is willing to sign the Foundation's non-public information confidentiality agreement, and
 * (iv) has disclosed any previous or alternate accounts in their election statements (legitimate accounts which have been declared to the Arbitration Committee before the close of nominations do not need to be publicly disclosed).


 * Caution: Candidates should be aware that they are likely to receive considerable internal and external scrutiny. External scrutiny may include attempts to investigate on- and off-wiki activities; previous candidates have had personal details revealed and unwanted contact made with employers and family. We are unable to prevent this and such risks will continue if you are successful.
 * Important: To avoid any potential conflicts of interest, current arbitrators may not serve as members of either the Ombuds Commission or the WMF Case Review Committee while serving as arbitrators.


 * Statements must:
 * (i) be submitted after 00:00 UTC on and until 23:59 UTC on ;
 * (ii) not exceed a limit of 400 words (although candidates are free to link to a longer statement if they wish);
 * (iii) confirm that the candidate will fully comply with the criteria for access to non-public data;
 * (iv) include a disclosure of all prior and alternate accounts or confirmation that all such accounts have been declared to the Arbitration Committee;
 * (v) be created using the inputbox below, by appending your username to the existing text, clicking the button, and following the instructions.
 * Applications are only considered complete when properly filled out and transcluded by the deadline. Deadlines will be strictly enforced regardless of technical problems that may occur.  Candidates are advised to have their application ready early.
