- Nomination statement (250 words max.)
I joined the Audit Subcommittee to replace bahamut0013, and in this capacity have made extensive use of the checkuser tool so as to become familiar with its use. Soon, I will be scaling back my use of checkuser - because, as an auditor, I do not intend to routinely use the tools. But from my term on the subcommittee thus far, it is clear to me that we require more checkusers. (There is an especial need for checkusers for routine requests, at SPI, so that the most active checkusers are not shouldering as much of the workload as they presently are.)
My public work with the checkuser tool is reviewable by browsing my contributions to the Wikipedia namespace - the results of most of my checks have been posted to a subpage of Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations. As somebody with access already, I have the technical aptitude to use the checkuser tool, and, as a current auditor, I have the sensitivity and knowledge of the privacy and checkuser policies to use the tool with the appropriate discretion.
This is a request to retain access to the checkuser tool after I leave the subcommittee, and an offer to devote the required daily time to this important area. There is a word limit on nomination statements, so I have had to speak briefly and generally, but I am happy to answer questions on any specific areas of interest. Thank you for your consideration.
