Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2021/Candidates/Cabayi/Statement

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cabayi[edit]

Hi! I'm here as a somewhat reluctant candidate for election as an arbitrator. I have 13 years experience on wiki, 31 months as an SPI clerk, 20 months as an admin & as a WP:VRT agent, 15 months as a global renamer, a good grasp of policy and a thick skin.

My strongest opinion on Arbcom, and my takeaway lesson from WP:FRAMBAN in 2019, is the need for a strong, active and vibrant Arbcom to ensure the community remains in control of its own affairs and to keep the Foundation's tanks off our lawn. I bring no personal agenda to reform Arbcom - that should be a matter for the community rather than the Arbcom itself. My most defining trait would be a low tolerance for behaviour which wastes volunteer time & detracts from the work of building an encyclopedia.
