[edit] I Nominate Myself

Posted at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2004/Candidate statements:
I've been here three and a half months and so far I've been blissfully free of participation in confrontations, edit wars, and the like. I've worked on a variety of topics, mainly in the realm of history, political science, pop culture, lexicography, and the like (see my page User:PedanticallySpeaking/Articles for some of my handiwork). Two of my Wikipedia efforts are trying to help out when I can on WP:RD and updating the WP:RFA section of WP:COMPORTwikilink updated by user:jerry>. I've worked mainly on new articles, but have tried to wikify and cleanup areas where I was knowledgable.
I'll promise what I did in my several campaigns for office in the real world: a fresh perspective from a fresh face.
Vote early, vote often (as they say in Chicago), and please vote for PedanticallySpeaking. Ago gratias! PedanticallySpeaking 17:54, Nov 19, 2004 (UTC)
