Misplaced Pages

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Privatemusings (talk | contribs) at 23:59, 9 November 2008 (→Standing candidates: by my watch :-)). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

This is the candidate statements page, where editors wishing to run in the 2008 Arbitration Committee elections may present themselves and their nomination statement.

Criteria for running

• Editors must be either 18 years of age or older, or of legal age in their place of residence, whichever is higher, and will be required to identify to the Wikimedia Foundation before taking their seats.

Reminders regarding candidate statements

• Statements should be fewer than 400 words, although candidates are free to link to a longer statement if they so wish. Statements which exceed this limitation may be removed pending trimming by the editor.
• Your statement will be filed using the input box under "To run for this year's elections;" it will be filed using {{Arbitration Committee Elections statement}}.
• Statements will only be accepted after 00:00 November 10 2008 and before 23:59 November 24 2008 (UTC). Any statements transcluded onto this page (in other words, submitted to the election) outside this period will not be accepted, and may be removed by any user.

To run for this year's elections

• Type "Misplaced Pages:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2008/Candidate statements/Example", replacing 'Example' (and only that text-not the preceding slash!) with your username. Click "submit query".

• Further instructions will be given once you click "create a statement."

NB., you will need to transclude your statement—once it is saved—at #Standing candidates, using:

{{Misplaced Pages:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2008/Candidate Statements/Your username}}
