Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2023/Candidates/Z1720/Statement

Z1720
I have been actively editing Wikipedia since 2020, and humbled when I was promoted to adminship without opposition. Since getting the tools, I have used them to promote preps at DYK, process unblock requests, evaluate WP:AE postings, completing RD1 redactions, and addressing WP:ERRORS concerns. I am most proud of my work at WP:TFA and WP:URFA/2020, where I evaluate older featured articles to determine if they are still ready for the main page. I also have three featured articles, conducted numerous WP:FAC reviews, and worked with editors to improve articles at FAR. At the 2023 Wikiconference North America I presented a talk on URFA/2020 and FAR.

If chosen for ArbCom, I would bring a mix of content experience and skills from evaluating editor conduct. When considering sanctions, my first question would be, "What is the best way to end disruption so that the most amount of editors can add high-quality content?" Time is the only resource that editors cannot get back: editors fighting over content, reverting each other, or constantly removing poorly sourced or unsourced material are not able to use their time to build high-quality articles. I believe ArbCom is here to figure out how to end long-term, complicated disruptions that are too complex for Wikipedia’s current consensus model to solve.

I am posting this candidacy near the beginning of the nomination period because I want the community to have additional time to consider my strengths and weaknesses. I hope editors give feedback throughout this process and, if successful, continue to send feedback so that I can improve my skills and address concerns. I want to be a responsive Arbitrator who is transparent about why and how I made my decisions; I will describe these reasons on-wiki in detail when appropriate.

I am over the age of 18. I have signed the Access to Nonpublic Personal Data Policy and will post a diff link to the confirmation when it is posted by the WMF here's the diff. I have only edited Wikipedia with this account and I do not recall an instance where I edited Wikipedia as an IP.

I look forward to answering your questions when that period opens up.
