Maclean25

 * 1) Why do you want to be a Wikipedia Ambassador?
 * Recent experience with evaluating Good Article nominations submitted by several classes, and investigating their background, led me here. I see the potential in this program to bring new talent to Wikipedia and I would therefore like to help and encourage.
 * 1) In three sentences or less, summarize your involvement with Wikimedia projects.
 * Content creation at the english Wikipedia (numerous Featured and Good Articles, as well as DYKs). Review work, formerly at Peer Review (2005-2007 era), Featured Article candidates, and currently at Good Article nominations.
 * 1) Please indicate a few articles to which you have made significant content contributions. (e.g. DYK, GA, FA, major revisions/expansions/copyedits).
 * See User:Maclean25 for a list of some of my contributions to individual pages, for example see Pattern Recognition (novel).
 * 1) How have you been involved with welcoming and helping new users on Wikipedia?
 * Using the welcome template. If I encounter someone straying from wiki-norms I try and make sure they get a welcome template before a warning or hit by a bot.
 * 1) What do you see as the most important ways we could welcome newcomers or help new users become active contributors?
 * Allowing them to edit and be creative. More experience wikipedians should be able to fix formatting and guide newcomers as circumstances arise.
 * 1) Have you had major conflicts with other editors? Blocks or bans? Involvement in arbitration? Feel free to offer context, if necessary.
 * No blocks or involvement in arbitration.
 * 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?
 * Daily. Yes, I can contribute at least 2 hours per week in this role.
 * 1) What else should we know about you that is relevant to being a Wikipedia Ambassador?
 * I have graduated from a university.
