- Why do you want to be a Wikipedia Ambassador?
- I want to be an Ambassador because it can help me introduce new editors, get to know editors, educate those editors to become prolific and constructive editors and become a better contributor myself.
- In three sentences or less, summarize your involvement with Wikimedia projects.
- I'm part of WikiProjects Aircraft, Airplanes, Military history, Ships and Wikify, as well as the Guild of Copy Editors. I have contributed extensively to the coordination of WikiProject Wikify, and its and the Guild's backlog elimination drive, and am joining The Great Backlog Drive.
- Please indicate a few articles to which you have made significant content contributions. (e.g. DYK, GA, FA, major revisions/expansions/copyedits).
- Arado E.381 and 4477th TES and Canopus class battleship. I have extensively copyedited, please refer to the Guild drive archives.
- How have you been involved with welcoming and helping new users on Wikipedia?
- I am a WikiGnome, and as such, I have once had a spike of vandalism fighting. Invariably, new editors are engaged in vandalism, and I use automated tools such as Twinkle and Friendly to welcome them with standard templates.
- What do you see as the most important ways we could welcome newcomers or help new users become active contributors?
- Mentoring. I believe there is a project for this, labeled Adoption, and I have been involved minorly with it in the past.
- Have you had major conflicts with other editors? Blocks or bans? Involvement in arbitration? Feel free to offer context, if necessary.
- I have not yet, to the extent of my knowledge. I have been engaged in a minor conflict in WP:FAC
- 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 edit/check on discussions I have commented at many times a day, depending on my off-wiki constraints. I will definitely be able to edit for more than 2 hours a week.
- What else should we know about you that is relevant to being a Wikipedia Ambassador?

- I have interacted with this user quite a bit before,
so I'm abstaining from any !votes. I will say that he has created some good content and edits frequently. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 08:38, 14 February 2011 (UTC)- Per an email with Sage, I'm switching to support. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 20:46, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
