I have been following Wikipedia development for a few years now, and have recently returned to editing after a long break. I have seen a lot of cases go through, so my aim as an arbitrator is simple. To keep Wikipedia a decent encyclopedia and to deal with those who wish to corrupt it. The current system is too slow, and lots of damage has occurred and vandals don't take the system seriously. |
|||
The following is a list of notable deaths in [[December 2005]]. |

Revision as of 01:44, 9 January 2006
I have been following Wikipedia development for a few years now, and have recently returned to editing after a long break. I have seen a lot of cases go through, so my aim as an arbitrator is simple. To keep Wikipedia a decent encyclopedia and to deal with those who wish to corrupt it. The current system is too slow, and lots of damage has occurred and vandals don't take the system seriously.
I have dealt with a large number of vandals and nonsense over the years and know a lot of the technical goings on at the wiki, so I feel confident on being able to take on the challenge of dealing with these disputes and restore credibility to the system.
