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

1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)
A. I do come across a lot of vandalism during my wikitimes. This is, perhaps, because my watchlist covers quite a few controversial topics. So, rollback will certainly speed up my anti-vandal patrols. I understand the need for full edit summaries, and so would be particularly loath to use rollback when a more full summary, or careful rewording is required. I get a bit frustrated at the backlog of chores that require a sysop, so I would definitely help out with page moves, merges and splits. Blocking, deletion and page protection are things that I wouldn't be keen to start doing too quickly. I've been a sysop on Religion Wiki for a while.
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A. I am most pleased with Aramaic language. That article has given birth to a lot of children, and I'm looking to see if any of them are close to featured status (Syriac language and Ephrem the Syrian in particular). A while back, I produced templates for displaying hieroglyphs in articles about Ancient Egypt, and I think they look nice.
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. Yes, I have been shouted and sworn at, but I'm glad it's only been on a couple of occassions. I'm also glad that I've never lost my temper, and have always tried to involve others in the establishment of consensus on the talk page. I would certainly not want to use sysop powers under such circmstances.
