 * Hold for a moment - TomTomn, just as a heads up we are going through a process to look at improving how we bring in new Online Ambassadors - although you look to have the right type of credentials; I am going to ask you to politely sit tight a moment (hopefully just a few days to a week) till the new questions concerning plagiarism are added to the list (or at least the prelim version are given a once over and given to you).

 * Okay! :) ~ &#8658;TomTom  N00  @ 19:34, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

TomTomn, the three questions that have been agreed upon, and you get to be the first applicant to get asked them and they are: Epistemophiliac (talk) 02:44, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
 * How would you make sure your students were not violating Copyright laws?
 * If one of your students had an issue with Copyright Violation how would resolve it?
 * In your own words describe what Copyright Violation is.
 * I would check most of their contributions and file uploads, and checking throught the internet for things is something I'm quite good at. Or CopyTracker.
 * I would notify them with their talk page, then if needed, CSD the page or remove the violation.
 * A Copyright Violation is when non-free content/images are published. ~ &#8658;TomTom  N00  @ 07:58, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
 * On reflection Neutral Your answers in regards to copy-right violation are terribly bland - which makes me wonder if you thought about them for a moment versus, just copy/pasted a generic response. Epistemophiliac (talk) 19:52, 5 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Oppose per hat collecting -- Guerillero &#124;  My Talk  04:53, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I would not class this as hat collecting, more of me wanting to help.~ &#8658;TomTom  N00  @ 07:58, 5 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Oppose I want to see a longer history of involvement (big burst of activity in the last five weeks, less than 350 edits in en:WP before then). I'm also concerned that the user has almost as many edits in user space as in article space. -- Donald Albury 12:15, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I am trying not to make any user edits, other than updating CSD/PROD logs, until I have 50% article edits. Also, toolserver took 400 article edits off during the lag. ~ &#8658;TomTom  N00  @ 12:25, 5 April 2012
