Primefac[edit]

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.

When I initially ran for ArbCom, I had recently helped close the anti-harassment RfC and had planned to implement some of the suggestions and changes that were seen as problems within the Arbitration system. While I cannot point to a single proposed motion that drastically changed how we do things, I have been diligently advocating for the Arbitrators to keep those community concerns in mind as we process emails and debate the merits of cases. There is still work to be done on that front, but so far I am pleased with that progress and am always open to further improvement suggestions. Another reason is that I am working on some long-term goals in collaboration with the WMF to better increase the safety and well-being of our editor base, in particular our newer editors. In other words, there is always more work to be done, and I would like continue being one of the people doing it, even if the trade-off is a 1000-email-threads-per year inbox.

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