Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2019/Candidates/Worm That Turned/Statement

Worm That Turned

Hi all. I'm Dave Craven, or Worm That Turned. I've been an editor for about 11 years, an admin for about 8, and have served twice on the Arbitration Committee (2013/4 and 2018/9). I've also worked in quite a few other areas of Wikipedia, such as bureaucrat, oversight, checkuser, OTRS.

I'm sure you'll all want to know my opinions on the last two years, well, if you have anything specific, please ask at the questions page. Generally, though, I would say the committee has had to deal with some particularly difficult and unprecedented situations - which could have been handled worse. Communication, however, is an area where we still need to improve.

I would like to see a good shake up of the committee this year, with 11 seats to fill we have a very good chance of that happening. Equally, we need some institutional memory. I do hope I can be part of both.

The final question that I think most people will have is on activity. I know I have not been particularly active on wiki, however I am active, regularly discussing matters on the list. I am willing to put my head above the parapet when the community needs an explanation on the difficult decisions and I do my best to answer promptly when I am asked a direct question.

Declaration: I declare my "sock drawer" on my userpage - User:WormTT, User:Wormbot, User:Worm That Trains, User:Wyrm That Turned - and I'm identified to the foundation. Anything else, just ask!
