Statement

I’ve been active since December 2004, registered after a few months, and have been an admin since June 2005. My motto is that Misplaced Pages is not a Bureaucracy. Thus, I have done my best to make Misplaced Pages run more smoothly. I have never shied away from examining controversial issues, and use careful reasoning to cut to the heart of them. Indeed, I have been called a voice of reason and progress many times, even by those who disagree with me.

I've written an essay on my wikiphilosophy, or how Misplaced Pages should work. In my view, the ArbCom walks a fine line between guarding the encyclopedia by being lenient to good contributors, and guarding the morale of our volunteer editors by being even-handed. The aim is to be stern where necessary, fair where possible.

Together with a variety of other editors, I have been instrumental in solving or alleviating a number of issues in Misplaced Pages. The most well-known of these solutions is probably Proposed Deletion. Other frequently-cited ones include the present definition of policy and guideline, Centralized Discussion, Misplaced Pages is Not a Bureaucracy, and   n u m e r o u s   others.

Problematic users I have dealt with include Zen-master, Gabrichidze, and to some extent, Willy on Wheels. I've given my thoughts on the Giano case; a recent dispute I have dealt with is TV episode naming, which I looked into after a request for neutral opinion. I have attempted to defuse the situation, mainly using debate, but I felt it necessary to remove an inappropriate poll about one editor's personality, and to temporarily protect the page to stop a revert war over the disputedpolicy tag. I believe there is now a consensus with still some opposition, with the compromise of redirecting the minority name to the consensual name.

I believe I would make a capable arbiter, and if the community so desires I will aid the ArbCom to the best of my abilities.
