Nomination statement (250 words max.)

Hi again. In case you missed it, I’m Will and I have been an editor for 5 and a half years and an admin for 3. I live in GMT/BST and have OTRS access. I’d like to offer assistance as an Oversight because I believe that my nature and experience would be only advantageous to Wikipedia in this role, and it would be a pleasure to assist the good work the Oversight team already do. I have the utmost respect for privacy. My maintenance of the boundary between online and real life for the Wikipedians I know in person has never lapsed. Prior to editing Wikimedia projects, I was a moderator on the official MSN web community for teenagers before the Groups service was disbanded. This meant I had to remove sensitive information where it had been posted in virtually the same scope as Oversight policy here. In addition, I have been employed by a local authority, and sharing the information I was privy to in that role would’ve meant losing my job very quickly indeed. As I said, I am frequently available and can easily be reached in IRC, often out of typical working hours in my time zone. I am over 18 and already identified to the foundation.
