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 can see myself helping out new users and reverting vandalism (both of which I already do). I can also see myself solving copyright problems, as I have noticed that many images are not tagged properly. -- Underneath-it-All 21:01, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
2. Of your articles or contributions to Misplaced Pages, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A: I am proud of my edits to Impossible Princess and Ray of Light (IP is a Good Article). Through expanding these articles I feel that I have become a better editor, as my writing writing style has improved greatly. -- Underneath-it-All 21:01, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
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: So far I have not had any conflicts over editing. I did have an anonymous user launch attacks against me on my talk page, but I refused to respond to them and to escalate the problem any further. -- Underneath-it-All 21:01, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

DriniQuestion

Do you think admins performing actions (deletions, blocks) for reasons not covered on policy should be sanctioned/punished? If so, how? -- Drini 01:39, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
