I've included stats for Tim Vickers because IMO he represents the gold standard in excellence in balance between dispute resolution skills, policy understanding, civility, and mainspace editing. This summary shows each editors' top mainspace article contributions as well as their top Wikipedia (family) area of activity (for example, as expected, my contribs at FAC are disproportionate), and proportional time spent contributing quality articles versus engaging the Administrators' noticeboards.

As a sample of how to view this data, Tim has healthy participation at the Administrators' noticeboards (over 400 edits) and extensive participation at his top Wikipedia family of pages (FAC, over 650), yet he remains a balanced content contributor, with 13 FAs, having contributed more edits to 9 articles than to AN. He has 12 times as many edits to his top five articles as he does to AN. He has 2.5 times as many edits to his highest-edited article (Evolution) as he does to AN. This shows an editor with quality mainspace contributions, significant input on dispute resolution issues, but a priority, commitment and balance towards mainspace editing.

We need ArbCom members who have demonstrated a commitment, first and foremost, to understanding how dispute resolution applies to building quality articles in mainspace, and understand article building skills. We need Arbs who are in touch with the community and with article building. We don't need more career ArbCom members who don't know what content contributors deal with, who don't understand what goes in to building our best content, who can't write an ArbCom decision, who haven't been through the process of contributing top quality, and who spend a disproportionate amount of their time rubbernecking the trainwrecks at AN/I instead of building articles. Balanced editing, with evidence of effective dispute resolution skills but a focus on building content, is the criteria I'll be looking for this year.

Numbers are only one element in the toolbox for evaluating ArbCom candidates: I expect to support some candidates who fall outside of my concerns about top content contributions, and oppose some who fall within the range, based on other knowledge of those candidates. Those who fall at the extremes, though, need analysis and justification; I'm unlikely to support a candidate who has neither contributed in the article writing trenches, nor shown me enough to know that s/he won't add to "more of the same" issues affecting the current ArbCom composition and recent deliberations. Numbers must be interpreted with caution (normal disclaimers re: editcountitis), but editors who have not made substantial contributions to article space need to have demonstrated how they can bring balance to some of the long-standing issues that have been raised relative to the composition of the current ArbCom. We need editors who understand the challenges of building a professional reference work and who are engaged with the community at the level where this work occurs. This may not be true every year, but it's an issue this year, as demonstrated by the problems that surfaced in ArbCom deliberations this year and the increasing disregard shown to top content contributors in dispute resolution processes. We only have one chance per year to alter the tone and composition of ArbCom, and in the past, we've perhaps leaned too heavily towards career bureaucrats and too far from those engaged in the trenches, building top content, working with the community, undertanding the recurring issues.
