 * 1) How have you been involved with welcoming and helping new users on Wikipedia?
 * I occasionally welcome I.P./new editors and assist when needed.
 * 1) What do you see as the most important ways we could welcome newcomers or help new users become active contributors?
 * New users need more motivation. Most are single purpose accounts. If we can show new users that Wikipedia has a great environment and they can contribute to the sixth most visited site, they can become active contributors.
 * 1) Have you had major conflicts with other editors? Blocks or bans? Involvement in arbitration? Feel free to offer context, if necessary.
 * I have not had anything major; I have an occasional edit skirmish (not exactly an edit war) just like any other editor. I have never been blocked, reported, etc.
 * 1) How often do you edit Wikipedia and check in on ongoing discussions?  Will you be available regularly for at least two hours per week, in your role as a mentor?
 * I check and edit Wikipedia everyday and have every page that I have ever edited on my watchlist. I try to reply to discussions and inquiries within six hours. I will be able to assist regularly as a mentor.
 * 1) How would you make sure your students were not violating copyright laws?
 * I would check their edits with the sources provided and other major sources that can be easily accessed via a simple Google search.
 * 1) If one of your students had an issue with copyright violation how would you resolve it?
 * First, I would immediately remove the copyrighted content. I would then talk directly with the student regarding the issue then with the course instructor. Afterwards, I would work out a resolution depending on the situation.
 * 1) In your _own_ words describe what copyright violation is.
 * A copyright violation is plagiarizing any text, image, audio, etc,. from a non-free source. Some close paraphrasing is also likely to constitute as a copyright violation.
 * 1) What else should we know about you that is relevant to being a Wikipedia Ambassador?
 * I am calm, able to work things out with editors, and overall very civil. I enforce all policies no matter my stance on a situation.
