Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2024/Candidates/Primefac/Statement

Hello, for those who do not know me, I am Primefac. I have been an editor since 2012, subsequently being granted the administrative, oversight, and bureaucratic permissions over the years, before being elected to ArbCom in 2020. In addition to Arbitration work I am most heavily involved in TfD, AfC, history mergers, and copyright violations.

I apologise for the 11th-hour candidate statement. To be honest, I was not planning on running this year; my real-life schedule next year is likely to take away much of my day-to-day editing, and I thought that this would make it too difficult to continue on ArbCom for another term. However, after reading something that CaptainEek mentioned a few days ago, I realised that I will still have time to dedicate to ArbCom, even if my daily editing rate decreases somewhat; regardless of how often I am able to edit Wikipedia I will still have time to read discussions and come to a final decision based on the policies and guidelines in which we all must operate. With the exception of an unusually stressful January this year (and the odd week-long holiday), I have been active for my entire ArbCom career and do not expect that to change if re-elected regardless of life circumstance.

I suppose I do not have anything "new" to campaign on, as I figure my past work speaks for itself and I want to continue doing more of the same: being a voice of reason and sifting through mountains of evidence when a situation is simply too massive or complex for the community to handle by itself. This year has also brought up some interesting procedural questions that I would like to continue looking at, hopefully to streamline the case request process and possibly reduce some of the tensions and confusion that occur during them. The safety of editors is still a major goal of mine, and I hope to continue working with the WMF to better increase the security and well-being of our editor base, in particular our newer and younger editors. In other words, there is always more work to be done, and I would like continue being one of the people doing it.

Disclosures: I have and will continue to comply with all NDAs I may sign. I have one bot alternate account (PrimeBOT).
