MacMed

 * 1) Why do you want to be a Wikipedia Ambassador?
 * I enjoy helping new users, and I feel that being an Ambassador would be a great way to ensure that new users are encouraged to come to the project and are not driven away by the cabal within the first few days.
 * 1) In three sentences or less, summarize your involvement with Wikimedia projects.
 * Member of WP:MIL, past co-ordinator of WP:Abuse response, work with WP:AFC and WP:ACC. Also starting to work with WP:CCI and WP:GOCE.
 * 1) Please indicate a few articles to which you have made significant content contributions. (e.g. DYK, GA, FA, major revisions/expansions/copyedits).
 * I'm more of a wiki-gnome. I have a few ITN's that can be found on my page and I have done a few GA reviews. I've recently started doing some grammar fixes for milhist, and have worked with GOCE in the past.
 * 1) How have you been involved with welcoming and helping new users on Wikipedia?
 * I am active on en-help on IRC.
 * 1) What do you see as the most important ways we could welcome newcomers or help new users become active contributors?
 * Just ensuring that they have the chance to learn the rules, possibly through mistakes, before getting scared off by bitey editors.
 * 1) Have you had major conflicts with other editors? Blocks or bans? Involvement in arbitration? Feel free to offer context, if necessary.
 * No, I have not been in any major conflicts.
 * 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 edit Wikipedia essentially every day, and I will easily be available at least 2 hours per week.

 * Support. You've been away for a while, and only recently returned, but you seem to have a pretty solid history and a good range of experience.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 14:47, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
