What do you think is the main role of Administrator? | What do you think is the main role of Administrator? | ||
:I believe administrators really have two main roles, both policing the site when necessary as well as continuing to provide beneficial edits to articles as well as talk pages. | |||
What do you think is the hardest thing for new editors to get the hang of (whether a technical skill, a policy or just the way we do things here); how would you spot they were having difficulty; and how would you help them? Maybe explain what was the hardest thing you've had to learn whilst being here? | What do you think is the hardest thing for new editors to get the hang of (whether a technical skill, a policy or just the way we do things here); how would you spot they were having difficulty; and how would you help them?

:The hardest thing for new editors is mostly the way we do things here, at least it was for me. I felt the policy is pretty similar to other wikis, and the technical stuff came later. At first, I didn't try to do anything too fancy, just a few small edits to get my bearings. I just wanted to get the feel for GTW and the acceptability of the other users, including administrators. | |||
Becoming staff isn't a reward for good edits, it's a job and a | Becoming staff isn't a reward for good edits, it's a job and a responsibility. How do you feel you could help us, and why should we promote you to become Administrator? | ||
:Being an Administrator, I would keep a more vigilant eye on recent edits for vandalism and anything else that may be incorrect or unnecessary. I would continue to communicate with other Administrators and management about any issues or anything I may have questions on. I would accept the higher responsibility, but definitely not take it for granted. A promotion to me would not change my attitude. Whether I receive it or not, my priority is still to make this site the best I can. | |||
Are there any specific [[Community:Tasks|tasks]], jobs or vendettas you perform around the wiki that you are particularly proud of? | Are there any specific [[Community:Tasks|tasks]], jobs or vendettas you perform around the wiki that you are particularly proud of? | ||
:My proudest task that I've done is creating wanted pages in regards to GTA V. I have added a lot of content to help anyone else who may be curious and/or anxious of the upcoming release. I'm also proud of the current task I'm working on, which is reworking the random images on the main page. | |||
Could you give one example of what you think is one of the best pages on this wiki, and a brief explanation of why you chose that. It should probably be an informational article, but you could use a list or category or similar if you explain why. | Could you give one example of what you think is one of the best pages on this wiki, and a brief explanation of why you chose that.

:At current, I think I like the [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] page. I've been playing the game a lot lately and have found this page and its descendants very informative. | |||
Do you have any questions about the wiki, its staff or the role of Administrator, or any final comments before we make our decision? | Do you have any questions about the wiki, its staff or the role of Administrator, or any final comments before we make our decision? | ||
:I don't really think I have questions at the moment. I have felt comfortable asking for help when I needed it in the past, and I really appreciate the help I've gotten. In particular, [[User:JFletcher|JFletcher]] and [[User:gboyers|gboyers]] have been especially helpful. I will still continue to ask questions when I feel I need help on something. I'm sure once I see the Admin tools, should I be accepted, I may have questions about the use of some. But if I must ask one question, how about: Who's eager for GTA V? | |||
