Barkeep49
- Introduction
I'm Barkeep49, and I'm running for a second term on the Arbitration Committee (ArbCom). I am running because of my deep belief in Wikipedia and the role it plays in the world. Providing high quality information, for free, has always been important but feels more so in today's world. As an Arbitrator, I want to continue doing what I can to ensure our community has the environment and space to advance our mission.
- Work
My primary work, when not on ArbCom, is
- writing articles, I have a couple dozen good articles and 2 featured lists,
- closing difficult Requests for Comment and Article for Deletion discussions, and
- being a part of New Page Patrol.
The health of the community is never far from mind. That is why I served on the Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement Guidelines drafting committee and have been a frequent nominator of administrators.
- Why I’m running and what I’ll do
I'm running because I find the work of being an Arb challenging and rewarding and because it's a way for me to give back to a project and community that's incredibly important to me.
I set out an ambitious platform when I last ran and am proud of what I accomplished as an Arb. If elected again you can be confident that I will…
- do the work. I try to actively engage in all elements of ArbCom work and to be there to help and support my colleagues.
- remain accessible and responsive. Sometimes when communicating with ArbCom it's hard to know if anyone is listening. I try to show we are by sending confirmation emails, participating in Workshop discussions during a case, and responding to talk page messages.
- listen carefully. To make good decisions it's vital to learn from others, understand their perspectives, and consider their thinking.
- strive to improve the project. If something isn't working, I like to try to find ways to improve it with-in the scope of ArbCom. I am open to trying new things, and equally open to admitting when those new things haven't worked. Fundamentally I believe it is important for us to try to do better because we can be better.

- Requirements
I am over 18, have thousands of mainspace edits, have no bans or blocks, no alternative accounts, and have and will fully comply with the criteria for access to non-public data.
I hope I’ve earned your support.
