1 question re Statement

Hi @Keilana: Thanks for your work on diversity, systemic bias, STEAM and NIOSH.

Re ArbCom has become less and less effective in actually solving the problems faced by Wikipedia’s regular editors, and I think that my experience in facilitating collaboration and my problem solving skills can help make the arbitration process both more effective and more useful to the community.

What are the top obstacles to ArbCom doing its job well, and what will you do about them?

@LeoRomero: Hi Leo! I think the main obstacles are inertia and bureaucracy-creep. I think that the process could be streamlined in general, and several other candidates have put forth ideas I really like. My experience with collaboration will be useful in resolving intra-committee disagreements, which I think is another obstacle to ArbCom being successful. I'm good at brokering compromises and finding satisfactory solutions, and keeping things from escalating. All the best, Keilana (talk) 16:15, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Thanks @Keilana: I think Wikipedia will get better thanks to you and your talents (esp as EMT, if only you could administer remotely). Browsed your Q&A, liked how you ran it. Suggest you post an abstract on this main discussion page. - TYA; LeoRomero (talk) 19:00, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

key success factors of the linux community, what to take for wikipedia

linus torvalds created a community of programmers working on the linux kernel 1991. the community grew since then to nowadays 5'000 commits a month, 5 times more than 10 years ago. alone the linux kernel mailing list receives more than 20'000 messages a month, 3 times more than 10 years ago. innovative technologies are added to the kernel first from universities, individuals, companies, bearing the GPL. what do you see as the key success factors of that development, and what can you take off that into your work at wikipedia? --ThurnerRupert (talk) 15:28, 29 November 2015 (UTC)
