- Why do you want to be a Wikipedia Ambassador?
- I have been using Wikipedia for quite a while now, and feel that becoming an ambassador would be a great chance for me to assist other people, as well as provide a new type of challenge that I've been seeking on Wikipedia.
- In three sentences or less, summarize your involvement with Wikimedia projects.
- I usually just Wikignome around EN-Wiki, just correcting things that need to be correcting, or formatting sections (ie, lists that should be tables), and similar contributions.
- Please indicate a few articles to which you have made significant content contributions. (e.g. DYK, GA, FA, major revisions/expansions/copyedits).
- Nothing that has been raised to FA or GA or anything, although I have done a bit amount of work on Graphic display resolutions, Taboo (rapper) and Social Insurance Number.
- How have you been involved with welcoming and helping new users on Wikipedia?
- I used to assist with including welcome templates on new users talk page, and helping them out if they needed some help, but this was a while ago.
- What do you see as the most important ways we could welcome newcomers or help new users become active contributors?
- I believe that a great way would be to automatically include a welcome template on a user talk page when a user create an account. This would help them to figure out how to use Wikipedia quickly, and more efficiently; and increase the potential of new users to stay. I know that this is MediaWiki related, but its just my opinion.
- Have you had major conflicts with other editors? Blocks or bans? Involvement in arbitration? Feel free to offer context, if necessary.
- I haven't had any major conflicts to report.
- 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 check Wikipedia several times a day just to see if any major activity has occurred on my watchlist. I am able to assist almost anytime.
- What else should we know about you that is relevant to being a Wikipedia Ambassador?
