Questions for the candidate
A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:

1. Have you read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list?
A. Have 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. Well I already do similar maintenance-type things now, so I expect I will transfer that to admin tasks in the future (I just won't have to ask an admin to do it for me)!
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. At the moment I do a bit of each of those, watching for vandals and have a go at RC patrol sometimes as well, so I guess these will increase when I can use the admin tools to make it a bit easier!
4. In your opinion, what article have you contributed the most succesfully and helpfully to?
A. Probably Triple J mostly. Close runner-ups would include its related changes, as well as Hobart, Tasmania, List of Australian television channels, Local Government Areas of Tasmania (and its related changes).
I'm not an admin, but he's done especially good work on Triple J. (sorry for comments from the peanut gallery) - Ta bu shi da yu 01:01, 25 Sep 2004 (UTC)
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 created Wikipedia:WikiProject Sports Olympics/Articles, which although not an article in itself, is a good page for managing the thousands of Olympics related articles and templates. I've also helped with Wikipedia:WikiProject Melbourne a little.
6. 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 will deal with it in the future?
A. I had a disagreement with Adam Carr about some political terminology. After a short (less than a week) WikiVacation, I decided to let him concentrate more on articles about Australian politics, as he clearly has more detailed knowledge about the topic, and I concentrated more on articles that are lacking detail, such as Australian music. From now on I expect the newly created Wikipedia:Australian wikipedians' notice board will be the focus of my work!

Thanks again to Ambi and others who have offered me their support! -- Chuq 00:01, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC)
