Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2010/Candidates/Xeno/Statement

:2010 is shaping up to be a record year for Arbitration Committee Elections - both in terms of the high number of seats available and the low number of candidates stepping forward to fill them. I can't say I'm surprised - it seems like a dreadful job for which only a sucker for punishment would apply. And though I am not looking forward to the headaches that accompany the position, I've been encouraged to stand. And more importantly, the community deserves a selection that exceeds the number of seats available. So I'll toss my hat in (while hoping that a handful of candidates more qualified than I follow my lead).

:I've been contributing here regularly since January 2008, became an administrator in June 2008, and a bureaucrat in June 2010. I've done a fair amount of work with bots/assisted editing and serve on the Bot Approvals Group. I have a decent amount of experience in dispute resolution and user conduct issues, and took a very active role in bringing the long-running dispute over the Rorschach test images and associated data to a close. I had been planning on volunteering for the Audit Subcommittee and have previously offered to assist with the Oversight queue, so I would likely contribute in these areas in addition to regular committee business.

:I believe it's customary to mention alternate account usage (of which the committee is awareI previously used an account for privacy reasons that only made an handful of edits, to the mainspace only, in an innocuous fashion.) - I have several alternate accounts used for different functions disclosed on my userpage and do not edit via IP save for a few accidental logged-out edits. Aside from these, I have never edited Wikipedia from another account.
