Content Creator

I feel that Content Creators are underrepresented on ArbCom and that there there needs to be more diversity in this, Wikipedia's de facto Supreme Court, so that all angles of issues are examined properly. Consequently, I'm using a very specific metric this year: I am actively supporting those candidates who have made at least 50% of their edits to mainspace (unautomated). SilkTork is one of three candidates this year crossing this threshold, with a total of just over 29,300 mainspace edits since January 2006, about 55% of the total. I am not a copy editor or a quality control supervisor — both very worthy functions — I am a content creator. And I am supporting this content creator for ArbCom.
