English Wikipedia @ Freddythechick:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2012/Candidates/Keilana/Statement

Keilana

Hello all! I’m Keilana, and I’ve been a Wikipedian since April of 2007. I’ve been an admin since November 2007, and I’ve been involved in many different content and administrative areas in my time here. I’ve written some featured content, including 6 FAs and 2 FLs. I’ve also done a lot of anti-vandalism and dispute resolution work, including serving on the Mediation Committee. Despite the fact that I don’t edit ArbCom pages much (if at all), I’m a keen observer of what goes on there. I’ve had all of the Committee pages watchlisted for years and keep a very close eye on everything, including arbitration enforcement. I was also one of the three closers for the Muhammad Images RfC, which was mandated by ArbCom.

I know there may be some concerns about my activity, given that I was absent from the project for about 2 years. This was at a hard, busy time in my life, with some unique circumstances I don’t expect to be replicated in any way, at least not anytime in the next two years. My editing has settled into a pattern that sees me online for at least an hour or two every day, often more, and I’m consistently making several hundred edits a month.

I do think I have something to offer the Committee. I’ve been very involved in collaborative content creation, including writing 3 FAs collaboratively and starting Wikipedia:WikiProject Women scientists. I think an understanding of the content creation and auditing processes is essential to ArbCom, as well as the dispute resolution methods that are necessary to keep the mainspace functioning, and I have experience in both of those arenas.

I’m over 18 and eminently willing to identify to the Foundation and comply with the other requirements for access to non-free data. I don’t have any other accounts under my control. I may have edited as an IP before creating an account (don’t remember, that was a long time ago), and I had created User:Keilana’s Sock but lost the password and have since blocked it. Other variants on my username (User:Keilana2, User:Keilana444, User:Keilanadecker, and User:Keilanahater) are unrelated to me. I have no other accounts; if elected I will create an alternate account for public editing. [Edit: I was formerly known as User:Neranei and had a name change in December 2007; it has been recreated to prevent impersonation. I don't have control over it; it has a scrambled password.)

Thank you very much for your consideration, and I look forward to your questions.
