Rosiestep

 * 1) Why do you want to be a Wikipedia Ambassador?
 * After Sadads suggested that I apply, I decided to do so as I am pro-education and I enjoy mentoring.
 * 1) In three sentences or less, summarize your involvement with Wikimedia projects.
 * I've spent all my time on en.wikipedia, with the exception of a few edits on foreign language wikipedias when I've worked on some es, fr, and ast language articles.
 * 1) Please indicate a few articles to which you have made significant content contributions. (e.g. DYK, GA, FA, major revisions/expansions/copyedits).
 * Here is my DYK list.
 * 1) How have you been involved with welcoming and helping new users on Wikipedia?
 * I've welcomed lots of new users using Welcome templates.
 * 1) What do you see as the most important ways we could welcome newcomers or help new users become active contributors?
 * Teach them about the importance of the inline citation and the benefits of collaboration.

 * No.
 * 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?
 * Approx 5-6 days/week. Yes.
