- Nomination statement
- I'm applying for both CheckUser and Oversight permissions. I've been an administrator since 2007, and I'm active on UTRS and ACC. I also pitch in as a patrolling admin at SPI.
- I'm interested in the CheckUser tool due to my work at UTRS and ACC, which often have CU queues that need attention. I'll also help at SPI. As an RN, I routinely handle sensitive and private information; I handle RevisionDeletion requests often and to my knowledge I've never had an Oversight request declined.
- Please feel free to ask any questions here. I'm traveling from September 21 to October 1, but I'll answer as quickly as I can. Thanks. :-) Katie

- Nomination statement
- I’m essentially offering my candidature in response to the to the call for CheckUsers and Oversighters among suitably qualified editors residing in Asia and with a knowledge and understanding of those cultures. As the owner of a commercial web server and operator of CMS websites, blogs and forums, I probably have the required technical knowledge, and as a linguist I feel I adequately recognise what kind of material may need to be suppressed. I spend many hours a week on Wikipedia, more than is reflected in my edit count, and I would have no problem in shifting the focus of my work to accommodate some extra duties.

- Nomination statement
- I am putting myself forward for consideration to be granted the oversight permissions on the English Wikipedia. I have been editing Wikipedia since 2006 and was granted by the community the administrative tools in 2013. I occasionally work on articles. I worked to get Hee Seo to Ga in March 2016 and assisted to get HMS Curacoa (D41) to GA in August 2016. As I stated at my RFA, I consider myself a below average writer and give back by helping out in the administrative areas of Wikipedia. I have worked mostly behind the scenes at AFD, AIV, SPI, OTRS, and occasionally at UTRS. I also make myself available on IRC in the en-help and en-helpers channel. During this time I have encountered instances where suppression is required, particularly when it comes to handling OTRS tickets. The most common cases I have come across have been the disclosure of private information or attacks made against an individual or organization. In many of these cases, only revdel is required. In more serious cases, suppression has been required and I've filed tickets to the OS team. I have noticed that OS tickets are responded to quickly and efficiently. As time moves on and we lose more and more admins to inactivity and other priorities, there's always a need for more volunteers. I think OS requires a timely response considering the damage that can be done by having sensitive information available to the public even for a short period of time. Therefore, I'm happy to help out in this area.
