Questions for the candidate
A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:
- 1. What duties, if any, would you anticipate helping with? Please check out Category:Project Pages for a list of projects.
- A. I have started and contributed heavily to numerous projects, and have a fairly extensive to-do list available at my user page.
- 2. Of your articles or contributions here, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
- A. The Twelve Colonies series; various tallies and minutiae; the Citation Jihad.
- 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. I have had an unpleasant discussion with Kuralyov regarding the inclusion of Timeline (RDM) in the Twelve Colonies series some months ago, which I do not hope to repeat. In general I try to maintain a moderate and level-headed tone, which I believe has served me well.
