Hersfold

Hello everyone. My name is Hersfold, and I wish to officially declare my insanity by running for ArbCom again.

I have been on Wikipedia for just short of five years now; in that time I have been an administrator (current), checkuser (current), bureaucrat (current), BAG member (current but inactive), ArbCom clerk (current), and ArbCom member (Jan-May 2010). A quick glance at my contributions will quickly show that I am not a content editor; I've found that I can best support the encyclopedia and its community by working in the background, handling administrative tasks and keeping things running. This is where I'm most comfortable and I'd like to think that I do a good job with it. The areas I focus on mostly are sockpuppetry investigations, unblock requests, account creations, and work on my bots, particularly of late User:HersfoldArbClerkBot. Most recently my on-wiki activity has been down somewhat, but this is largely due to the fact that my attentions have been focused on handling requests at the unblock mailing list and working on developing a tool to replace that list in the near future. I have also recently started a full-time job in a new location and am finishing working out all the issues related with that.

My previous term on the Arbitration Committee ended abruptly; at the time, I was a junior at my university, and employed by the university's residential life department. While I thought I would be able to balance that job, my studies, and ArbCom, it simply didn't work out. Of the three, ArbCom had to go. Now, as I mentioned above, I have recently started a new job; however, things are now settled down into a easily managed routine, and there won't be any surprise "hey, we need you to organize this extremely complicated event for next week all by yourself" fiascoes. Once the new unblock tool is online, I will be able to fully dedicate my time to ArbCom.

In conclusion, I feel as though I am a dedicated, responsible, and trustworthy member of the Wikipedia community, and so I ask that once again you lend your trust in me to assist in the back.

Required disclosures: I am identified to the Foundation as a standing checkuser (confirmation). All accounts I have edited with are listed on my userpage; all are in accordance with the policy on usage of multiple accounts.
