 * 12) Jerzy(t) 23:59, 2004 Jul 27 (UTC) I seldom work closely with another WP editor, but have briefly w/ Andris; i seldom form impressions other than "bad WP colleague" or "OK", but Andris made an especially good impression on me.

Questions for the candidate

A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters, if you care to respond:
 * 1. Have you read the section on Administrators?
 * A. Yes, just now, but I found out I knew most of content from other policy pages.
 * 2. Are you interested in, and do you think you'll have some time to perform, the chores that only sysops have access to do, to help keep Wikipedia up to date?
 * A. Yes.
 * 3. If you become a sysop, which sysop chore or chores (WP:VFD, recent changes, watching for vandals and vandalism, responding to editor requests for assistance, any other) do you especially think you would be able to help with.
 * A. I already check recent changes and new pages regularly and I would keep doing that, using the new sysop powers. I might also help with maintaining WP:VFD and Copyright problems.
 * 4. In your opinion, what article have you contributed the most succesfully and helpfully to?
 * A. It's hard for me to pick one of my contributions over the rest. I wrote List of political parties in Latvia and most of articles on individual parties linked from there. I have also contributed to some mathematics and computer science articles. Young tableau is probably my best contribution in that area.
 * 5. In your opinion, what has your best contribution to the running and maintenance of Wikipedia been? (i.e., have you reverted a bad stretch of vandalism, done extensive work categorizing articles, helped mediate a dispute?)
 * A. Two contributions. First, I have categorized about 500 articles, almost all of Category:Latvia and a fair part of Category:Chess. Second, I have fixed about 100 or so Deadend pages and misspelled links.
 * 6. Of your Wikipedia edits and experiences thus far, what is your biggest regret? What do you wish you'd done differently?
 * A. No major regrets so far. Andris 14:49, Jul 23, 2004 (UTC)
 * Thanks and good luck! -- Cecropia | Talk 19:04, 22 Jul 2004 (UTC)
