Content vs. Conduct

Thank you for volunteering your time for ArbCom. You are clearly an experienced contributor to Wikipedia.
You write in your candidate statement: "I have noticed that of the past few Arbcom cases, I would have to say most were conduct issues and not content issues.".
The Arbitration Policy describes the scope of the Committee as "primarily for serious conduct disputes" (emphasis mine)(Scope_and_responsibilities), and further states: "The Committee does not rule on content..." (#Policy_and_precedent)
Your statement gives me the impression that you are not familiar with this basic tenet of the ArbCom, which is of concern in evaluating your suitability for this important role. Your reference to the "past few" cases makes me wonder if the "past few" that you read are also the "only few" that you've reviewed. --Evilphoenix Talk 03:22, 15 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
