Hi all, I am Tom and I am an Admin, ArbCom Clerk, and CheckUser. In my real life, I am a stay-at-home dog dad and cartographer. I previously worked as a Geospatial Technologist on a large international development contract. This year I have written some content, done source reviews at FAC and FLC, and worked as an AE admin. I am currently trying to make 100 maps to illustrate 100 articles. Lets see how quickly I get there. I previously was on ArbCom from January 2015 to December 2016 and an Oversighter from 2013 until 2018.
If you look at my activity, you see that it was low from May through this month. That was due to crunch time at work followed by moving to a new country as a trailing spouse. I will have the time and attention to give to the committee if elected.
I would like to finish the update of the Discretionary Sanctions (DS) procedures if I am on the committee. One of the things I have learned working at AE is how difficult it is for AE admins, people being reported, and people doing the reporting. We need to rethink and retool the process to make it easier for more than ~20 admins to enforce our DS. We also need to think about the intersection of socking and AE. That came up this year and there wasn't a good response that I could give people.
The fine print
I am over 18 years of age
I have access to CU and already have identified to the WMF
