Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2009/Candidate statements/Editintro

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Attention Candidate!

Please read the following:

  • You are running for a seat on the Arbitration Committee. This is a position that is extremely demanding on time and energy; please run only if you desire to contribute to the encyclopedia in this (somewhat difficult) role.
  • Do not run as a "joke", and please do not submit frivolous candidacies. Doing so is a waste of the community's time, and yours.
  • You will have to identify to the Wikimedia Foundation if you are elected. Please do not run if you are not willing to identify, or if you do not meet the legal age of majority in your nation of residence, or if you do not otherwise meet the requirements for candidates (as listed here).

  • If you accept these conditions... good luck with your candidacy, and thank you for running!
