The following discussion is preserved as an archive of a unsuccessful Online Ambassador application.

Not right now, but you might consider being a Wiki Guide if you're interested in learning the ropes of helping newcomers.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 15:32, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

1. Why do you want to be a Wikipedia Ambassador?

   I guess i can be a part of the revolution of 21st century to educate 1000's of people. A post of Ambassador will always will be an additional support for such ventures.

2. In three sentences or less, summarize your involvement with Wikimedia projects.

   I am just beginner. I saw the involvement of ladies in Wiki is less. Now i thought why shouldn't me be a part of it. And am here

3. Please indicate a few articles to which you have made significant content contributions. (e.g. DYK, GA, FA, major revisions/expansions/copyedits).

   MAde some corrections in some profiles of people, also have added some pages.

4. How have you been involved with welcoming and helping new users on Wikipedia?

   Am a web designer by experiance and do coding well. Lots of people are out there who know very well to write. So i can help them to understand how to write in the way its meant.

5. What do you see as the most important ways we could welcome newcomers or help new users become active contributors?

   Please have a Video Tutorial or an Flash based one.

6. Have you had major conflicts with other editors? Blocks or bans? Involvement in arbitration? Feel free to offer context, if necessary.

   No not at all.And i dont like fighting

7. How often do you edit Wikipedia and check in on ongoing discussions? Will you be available regularly for at least two hours per week, in your role as a mentor?

   I wish i could stop using FB and do something good for the people and coming generations.

8. What else should we know about you that is relevant to being a Wikipedia Ambassador?

   I love being a part of wikipeida. if u make me an Ambassador my duties are increasing. but i hope i can manage it. And i have knowledge in Languages like English, Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu and Sanskrit. So when some posts of indian origins and all come i will be really helpful for you.

Bhavana, thanks for your interest in the Wikipedia Ambassador Program. For Online Ambassadors, we're looking for editors with more Wikipedia experience than you have at this point.

But please, keep editing, and apply again down the road! The best kinds of experience to demonstrate the skills needed to be an ambassador are writing "Did you know" articles or participating in the Good Article process as either a writer or reviewer, as well as consistent edit history that a lot of recent activity over a period of months.
