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, a while ago and .... just now.
 * 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. Sadly, I have far too much free time at the moment, so yes, see below.
 * 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. My two favourite pages are Random Page and Recent Chagnes, so I come across a lot of vandalism. It would be nice to be able to deal with it myself.
 * 4. In your opinion, what article have you contributed the most succesfully and helpfully to?
 * A. Euro 2004, London Underground tube line images, I created the football kit template used on hundreds of football club websites, lots of photos/diagrams/image cleanups, see User:Ed_g2s/Images, far too many edits to random pages, and lots of templates.
 * 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. Not hugely into categorisation, yet. Lots of edits to pages that look ugly, creating templates, fixing layouts, using image boxes. Oh, and chasing up image copyright info.
 * 6. Of your Wikipedia edits and experiences thus far, what is your biggest regret? What do you wish you'd done differently?
 * A. Not playing with the mediawiki code.


 * &#1042;&#1086;&#1087;&#1088;&#1086;&#1089; 7: Do you promise to always use proper British English, never the corruption that is American English?
