Questions for the candidate
Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Misplaced Pages 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:Misplaced Pages backlog, and read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.

A: I know that as an administrator, there are many unexpected situations that come up that require administrator intervention. Of the many expected situations that also require administrator help, there are a number of things I look forward to assisting with. One is keeping up with violations listed at WP:AN/3RR, and investigating the situations in order to decide the best course of action and length of block (if at all). Another is keeping watch on WP:AIV in order to swiftly stop vandals hindering the progress of Misplaced Pages. Along with vandalism, I hope to aid in quick reversion of vandalism that has occurred, both through #vandalism-en-wp and elsewhere. While I already participate in such vandalism reversion, use of the rollback tool will indoubtably make it faster and more effective. I anticipate being active at WP:AN/I and requests for investigation, and dealing with situations that are brought up there. As I gain experience as an administrator, I also hope to work at stopping long term abuse. Additionally, I look forward to being able to assist with requests and problems brought up at the Help Desk and the New contributors' help page that require administrator assistance.

2. Of your articles or contributions to Misplaced Pages, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?

A: I am very proud of my edits to aid in the disambiguation of Misplaced Pages. I am active at WikiProject Disambiguation, cleaning up pages listed at Category:Disambiguation pages in need of cleanup, and discussing all matters of disambiguation. I participate in much discussion at the Manual of Style for disambiguation pages regarding the style and function of the pages. I also work at Misplaced Pages:Disambiguation pages with links, where links to disambiguation pages are corrected to link to the correct article. Additionally, I often keep track of articles from Special:Newpages requiring disambiguation assistance, so that the problems can be quickly and easily corrected. Disambiguation pages aid in the navigation of Misplaced Pages, and I am happy that I am able to make this navigation clearer and easier for everyone. Additionally, I am very pleased with Quint (fire apparatus), which was the first "real" article that I created and completely wrote.

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: Like almost every other contributor, I have certainly been in disagreements with other users. However, I attribute my calm attitude and drive for compromise to the fact that not one of these disagreements has escalated into anything notable. When reverting vandalism and working on disambiguation pages, there are always conflicts of ideas. I feel that in situations where both parties are trying to work for the best (and even when it may not seem like it), discussing before acting provides the best solutions, and I will always discuss things with any users that disagree with or have questions about any of my actions.

I have been involved in the disputes of other users, sometimes being requested to give a third opinion or outside idea. I recently assisted in an informal mediation at the Good articles project. The discussion is currently in the process of wrapping up, and while no large actions were taken, I am happy that I was able to aid in the understanding of disagreeing parties, and help to calm down the situation. I look forward to doing so in the future, and have learned much from the experience.

Questions from HighwayCello

1. You come across an editor who has migrated through dozens of video game character articles and resized the image and removed the caption. The vandal has done with harmful intent to all the articles twice in one day, the first time 8 hours prior, and the second, 30 minutes before you noticed. The vandal has received two single warnings despite the widespread vandalism, one for the first round, and another just as the editor stopped editting. What would be your course of action?

A.

2. You are viewing the page for a Fair Use image and you notice that it links to several user pages. You view the first user page and notice that the user has severl custom userboxes with fair use images as well as a fair use image gallery. What would your course of action be initially? What would your course of action be if the user didn't remove the images?

A.
