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 already revert vandalism, check for poor edits, and delete link spam of the articles on my watch list. As an admin I would expand my efforts to speedy deletions, page protection, and other admin functions as I become familiar with them.

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

A. That's a tough one as I'm mostly a copyeditor. I would have to say I take the most pleasure in copyediting feature article candidates, putting the finishing touches on the best of what Wikipedia has to offer. In addition to copyediting, I have added footnotes to a number of articles, including feature articles Exploding Whale and Tooth Enamel. I am also active in reverting vandalism and participating in MoS discussion.

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 haven't had a conflict with anyone so far. And while I have strong religious and political convictions, I check them at the Wikipedia door. However, I do avoid editing a handful of articles which I feel I maybe too emotional invested in. As far as dealing with future problems, I don't think I'll have any: I'll continue to contribute to those articles which I can and avoid the few which I feel uncomfortable with.
