Questions for the candidate
Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia in this capacity. Please take the time to answer a few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:
- 1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? Please check out Category:Wikipedia backlog, and read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.
- A: Cleaning up articles, creating requested articles, viewing categories for deletion and general maintence: I just want to help out any way I can.
- 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
- A: I am pleased with the Mitcham Common article as the was not one on wikipedia before I created it. Since then I have worked quite hard on it, and as no significant changes have been made to what I contributed, I feel it is a good article.
- 3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
- A: When I first joined wikipedia, I created an article that was a crude cut and paste job. I was informed by a user that I could not do that as it violated copyrights. The message that user sent was pleasent and helpful, and I began to read the guidelines on editing etc.
In answer to the question, it was a minor conflict and it did not cause me any stree. I dealt with the problem by learning the wikipedia guidlines and polices and I feel I can deal with any future problems in a civil and appropriate manner.
