[edit] Corbin's Statement

Yo. I'm Corbin Simpson. I'm running for a variety of reasons. First, Wikipedia is an awesome place. Most established users are helpful, courteous, bright, and excellent writers. As a community, we have built an awesome repository of knowledge.

Esperanza was, as far as I understand, founded in the hope that the community would always be unified in matters of core ideology and etiquette; that Wikipedians would work together in the project and not fight amongst each other but rather be kind, understanding, and communicative when controversy arises. While this vision of unity is not yet realized throughout the community, it does please the eye to note that Esperanza itself is an excellent community committed to those ideals upon which it was founded.

Power ought be delegated by social contract. If I am elected, I hereby promise to listen to and consider the opinion of the community, both as a group and as an individual, and furthermore I humbly request that I be notified of any transgressions from the path that the community prefers. I iterated this once on my request for adminship and I reiterate it here: If elected, I am a representative and servant of the community, not of myself or my interests.

Stepping down the diction a bit, I would just like to say that I will maintain the credo of personal and friendly excellence in all affairs, and that edit counts are not everything!
