 * 1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? Please check out Category:Wikipedia backlog, and read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.


 * A: I would help out with WP:AIV, WP:RPP and WP:RM and closing WP:AFDs. After I gain some experience I would venture into other functions. I already do RC patrolling, the rollback button will be helpful.


 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?


 * A: For the past few months, I have been managing the Indian collaboration of the week. Each week, it gives me a lot of satisfaction to see articles get into better shape after going through this. I started the Politics of India project in hope of improving and bringing consistency to Indian politics-related articles. I started the Tamil Nadu state assembly election, 2006 and State Assembly elections in India, 2006 articles with that in mind. I am currently working on List of Chief Ministers of Tamil Nadu which is on featured list path. I also help out creating templates and infoboxes for WikiProjects and have a bot in development that will create India town articles. I often update the news section of Portal:India and the Indian current events page.


 * 3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?


 * A: In my early days in Wikipedia (around November 2005), I had been in a edit conflict on the IIPM article. An anon kept removing a section on controversy related to IIPM. That section was keeping the article neutral and the reader needed to be informed. Although the reverts were done in belief that it was vandalism, if that happened today, I will stay below the 3RR and try to get into a discussion on the editor’s talk page or the article's talk page and also get other editors to look into the article. It is great to see that the section still exists, thanks to all the people watching over it. Recently, I was in a edit conflict with User:Anwar saadat on the Ajith Kumar article. After my first revert, I left a message on the article's talk page. I stopped with a second revert and let other editors handle the issue.
