Questions
''Nominee, if you accept the nomination, please answer the following questions. It is advised that voters check the nominee's responses before voting.''

1. When did you join Halopedia?
 * January 14, 2007.

2. What do you believe are your most valued contributions to Halopedia?
 * In my first few weeks here I practically rewrote every UNSC rank article we have, and still continue to edit and update those as new information is available. I've served on our official FanArt Committee, and have held rollback rights since March 31, 2007, helping to revert vandalism or factual inaccuracies whenever I see it. Recently, I've been a leader of the Covenant of Halopedia, and am now currently serving as a leader of the UNSC of Halopedia. I am currently ranked ninth in the list of editors by mainspace edits.

3. What do you believe are your most valued technical contributions to Halopedia?
 * I've created a few userboxes, and overhauled some of templates. I've done a little work on the welcome template, and I created the IP invite.

4. What do you believe are your most valued contributions to the community?
 * I have welcomed many users, and invited many more potential users (IP's) to join us. I'm always happy to help other users when I can, whether giving advice on article editing or with technical things like signature coding. I also monitor and safeguard #halopedia as an op.

5. What is your expertise with programming languages, if any?
 * I have a decent knowledge of HTML, and am willing to learn others if it is required.

'''6. Do you administrate any other Wikias? If so, which?'''
 * No.

7. If you are administrated, what changes do you propose?
 * I'd like to see more community input in decision making. I think there's a perception that the current administration makes a lot of the decisions without consulting the community. Even though I don't believe this is true, I do think that a return to more voting situations will help change this perception.

8. To the best of your understanding, what does administratorship entail?
 * Being a servant of the community. An administrator blocks vandals, protects pages which are frequently vandalised, and generally looks after the wiki for its users.

9. To the best of your understanding, when will you be able to check Halopedia after you are administrated, in the event that you are?
 * I always pop in and visit once a day, checking recent changes and my watchlist (currently at 111 articles!). I also reply to my talk page posts, jump on IRC, and edit!

10. What communities are you associated with online, Halo and otherwise?
 * I'm a member of Wikipedia, and the Harry Potter Wiki. I also provide Wikia support whenever I am able to on #wikia.

11. What is your familiarity with the Halo universe?
 * I've got Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2 sitting on my bookcase, along with the four released novels. I've yet to get a copy of The Graphic Novel, because my local bookstore doesn't have it yet :( I'm a big fan of the Halo series (obviously!) and would consider myself quite knowledgeable.

12. What is your familiarity with Wikia and Halopedia policies?
 * I'm very familiar with policy. I've even drafted some myself (1, 2).

13. What is your relationship with the Halopedia community and current administration?
 * Excellent, I think. I keep in touch with the community via IRC and my talk page. I keep in regular contact with the current administration via these methods, and also by email.

14. How may users contact you?
 * I'm readily available via IRC, or my talk page. I also have a dedicated email for Halopedia.
