Q: Why did you welcome me?
 * A: I saw you were new (or not welcomed) and to be friendly (or to thank you) I welcomed you to make you feel welcome on Wikipedia and hope you stay and make more edits in appliance with the Wikipedia Policies.

Q: Why did you revert/question/warn/welcome me almost instantly after my edit?
 * A: Probably you edited a page on my watchlist. I review it quite a lot and I pick up edits within 10 minutes if they are on my watchlist. If your edit wasn't to a page I watch, I was probably on Recent Changes and were (un)lucky enough to be caught by my 'assessment' and then reviewed.

Q: I need help with an article, Can you help me?
 * A: Always ask. I may say yes or no (I sometimes may respond with a tick or cross) but if the request comes under one of my favourite topics, The answer will be Yes! My interests range from computer programming (PHP, SQL etc) to Business (Intel, Dell, Google etc)

Q: Are you a volunteer at anything like AfD, AfC, RfC or anything else?
 * A: I am actually a volunteer at Articles for Creation (AfC). I accept and decline some articles, but now I mainly go through the submission in user spaces and move them and accept/decline them as it is a growing problem. In addition, I now volunteer at AfD. What I do is I go through and relist discussion which are not clear and close old discussion as well as take part in them.

Q: Why did you decline my article at AfC?
 * A: Firstly, I don't like to think I 'declined' the article but rather marked it for improvement. Secondly, if I 'declined' it for unreliable or no sources and you use a list of sources, that's the reason. Some editors think that there are sources so you can not decline it for that, but in my opinion if you use inline sources it looks better and had a much easier maintenance way. In addition people know what source actually proves your discussion which helps the appliance of WP:V.
