There are two main reasons that I would be an asset to the Arbcom. First is my commitment to the Foundation's projects and the community that supports them. Second is my experience with Wikipedia, dispute resolution and OTRS.
I've been an editor since June 05 (my account name was previously Jareth) and an Admin since November 05. I started working on the now defunct Wikipedia helpdesk email shortly before becoming an administrator - when this closed, I was invited to volunteer at OTRS. While some of the answers to OTRS emails are simple, many involve research to resolve and all require delicate handling of disputes and a solid knowledge of policy.
I apologize for the lateness of this addition, however, I chose to give the person time to correct their statement first. I did not at any time call another editor a cretin. The statement being referred to is in reference to a person who stalked, or encouraged the stalking of a number of Wikpiedia editors. Anyone who is not aware of the situation is welcome to email me for a full explanation. Shellbabelfish03:28, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
