Questions for the candidate

A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters, if you care to respond:

1. Have you read the section on Administrators?

A. Yep. I have also checked out the sysop functions while playing with the mediawiki software on my own computer.

2. Are you interested in, and do you think you'll have some time to perform, the chores that only sysops have access to do, to help keep Wikipedia up to date?

A. I plan to have a look at the mediawiki code at some point, so that will take priority over committing to do a sysop chore on a regular basis. (I am thinking of integrating the wikipedia:new pages patrol functionality of saying "I reviewed this edit" into special:newpages and maybe special:recentchanges)

3. If you become a sysop, which sysop chore or chores (WP:VFD, recent changes, watching for vandals and vandalism, responding to editor requests for assistance, any other) do you especially think you would be able to help with.

A. I often watch the new pages part of recent changes, I think I will keep doing that. It is quite possible that I will do some maintainance at WP:VFD, WP:CP or vandalism if either thing needs doing.

4. In your opinion, what article have you contributed the most succesfully and helpfully to?

A. I think I did a good job of writing the synopsis of The Little Mermaid. Almost a stub, but Cell chip is also a nice reference.

5. In your opinion, what has your best contribution to the running and maintenance of Wikipedia been? (i.e., have you reverted a bad stretch of vandalism, done extensive work categorizing articles, helped mediate a dispute?)

A. I have spend a good deal of time watching special:newpages: copyediting, expanding, vfd'ing and watching for copyright problems. Fx I caught Gatch gereftani the other day, what looks like an example of false information.

6. Of your Wikipedia edits and experiences thus far, what is your biggest regret? What do you wish you'd done differently?

A. No big regrets come to mind.

Thanks and good luck! -- Cecropia | Talk 23:01, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Thanks! Thue | talk 00:10, 22 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Вопрос 7: Do you promise to always use proper British English, never the corruption that is American English?

I think the wikipedia policy in the style guide of using the right spelling in the right context is sensible. Thue | talk 09:27, 22 Jul 2004 (UTC)
