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 think I would anticipate helping with my Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags#CC templates proposal which I would be able to update myself instead of asking someone else, though that is not such a big deal. I am not really sure what I would start doing which I am not already doing. I suppose that reverting vandalism will be much faster. Reading the articles referenced on the reading list will hopefully give me some ideas.
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A. I am particularly pleased with my Image:25 pair color code chart.png which I have written in PostScript. I am somewhat pleased with the Creative Commons templates mentioned above. I don’t really think there are any articles I am particularly pleased with, because I would consider my editions and corrections made to the articles just a side effect of reading them. I think I like some of my comments on the talk pages which were interesting to write, like those on Talk:Pseudoscience and Talk:Creation vs. evolution debate. I like the articles that I started and which were later expanded by other people, like some of those linked in my user page, because they are interesting to read. But still, writing is just a side effect of reading.
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 will deal with it in the future?
A. Yes, other users have caused me stress. I usually deal with it by group therapy. Seriously, what kind of question is that? I have been in conflicts over editing, and in fact I seem to be in one as we speak, as my removal of redundant categories in Multi-level marketing article has just been reverted. (Should an article be explicitly added to its main category and also to every supercategory that one is directly and indirectly a subcategory of?) But I don’t remember any conflicts more serious than that, probably because I prefer to voice my opinion than to participate in edit wars. I think that writing about myself is causing me stress, so I will stop now to deal with it. Rafał Pocztarski 08:19, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)
