12. Jerzy(t) 23:59, 2004 Jul 27 (UTC) I seldom work closely with another WP editor, but have briefly w/ Andris; i seldom form impressions other than "bad WP colleague" or "OK", but Andris made an especially good impression on me.

Questions for the candidate

A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters, if you care to respond:

1. Have you read the section on Administrators?

A. Yes, just now, but I found out I knew most of content from other policy pages.

2. Are you interested in, and do you think you'll have some time to perform, the chores that only sysops have access to do, to help keep Wikipedia up to date?

A. Yes.

3. If you become a sysop, which sysop chore or chores (WP:VFD, recent changes, watching for vandals and vandalism, responding to editor requests for assistance, any other) do you especially think you would be able to help with.

A. I already check recent changes and new pages regularly and I would keep doing that, using the new sysop powers. I might also help with maintaining WP:VFD and Wikipedia:Copyright problems.

4. In your opinion, what article have you contributed the most succesfully and helpfully to?

A. It's hard for me to pick one of my contributions over the rest. I wrote List of political parties in Latvia and most of articles on individual parties linked from there. I have also contributed to some mathematics and computer science articles. Young tableau is probably my best contribution in that area.

5. In your opinion, what has your best contribution to the running and maintenance of Wikipedia been? (i.e., have you reverted a bad stretch of vandalism, done extensive work categorizing articles, helped mediate a dispute?)

A. Two contributions. First, I have categorized about 500 articles, almost all of Category:Latvia and a fair part of Category:Chess. Second, I have fixed about 100 or so Deadend pages and misspelled links.

6. Of your Wikipedia edits and experiences thus far, what is your biggest regret? What do you wish you'd done differently?

A. No major regrets so far. Andris 14:49, Jul 23, 2004 (UTC)

Thanks and good luck! -- Cecropia | Talk 19:04, 22 Jul 2004 (UTC)
