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. Yep. I have also checked out the sysop functions while playing with the mediawiki software on my own computer.
 * 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. I plan to have a look at the mediawiki code at some point, so that will take priority over committing to do a sysop chore on a regular basis. (I am thinking of integrating the new pages patrol functionality of saying "I reviewed this edit" into special:newpages and maybe special:recentchanges)
 * 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 often watch the new pages part of recent changes, I think I will keep doing that. It is quite possible that I will do some maintainance at WP:VFD, WP:CP or vandalism if either thing needs doing.
 * 4. In your opinion, what article have you contributed the most succesfully and helpfully to?
 * A. I think I did a good job of writing the synopsis of The Little Mermaid. Almost a stub, but Cell chip is also a nice reference.
 * 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. I have spend a good deal of time watching special:newpages: copyediting, expanding, vfd'ing and watching for copyright problems. Fx I caught Gatch gereftani the other day, what looks like an example of false information.
 * 6. Of your Wikipedia edits and experiences thus far, what is your biggest regret? What do you wish you'd done differently?
 * A. No big regrets come to mind.
 * Thanks and good luck! -- Cecropia | Talk 23:01, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)

 * &#1042;&#1086;&#1087;&#1088;&#1086;&#1089; 7: Do you promise to always use proper British English, never the corruption that is American English?
 * I think the wikipedia policy in the style guide of using the right spelling in the right context is sensible. Thue | talk 09:27, 22 Jul 2004 (UTC)
