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

   After Sadads suggested that I apply, I decided to do so as I am pro-education and I enjoy mentoring.

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

   I've spent all my time on en.wikipedia, with the exception of a few edits on foreign language wikipedias when I've worked on some es, fr, and ast language articles.

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

   Here is my DYK list.

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

   I've welcomed lots of new users using Welcome templates.

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

   Teach them about the importance of the inline citation and the benefits of collaboration.

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

   No.

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?

   Approx 5-6 days/week. Yes.

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

   I'm a sysop. I'm not a techie. I'm competent at creating new articles, team collaboration, copyediting, article assessment, new page patrol, etc. For 5 years, I taught in the capacity of university Adjunct Faculty.
