Line 13:

''Q: How old are you and what do you do? (If student, please state what subjects you are studying.)''

A:

A: I am old enough to vote and buy alcohol, and young enough not to qualify for senior citizen discounts.

''Q: How many hours a month do you think you will need to be a good Arbitrator and are you really willing to put in the time?''

A:

A: I tend to commit about one hour a day to Arbitration tasks, with three to five hours over each weekend, subject to other restrictions on my time (for example, the holiday season is cutting into my time available for Arbitration tasks). (I do not count time I spend on CheckUser as part of this time.) I believe this to be sufficient for the task at hand.

''Q: If chosen, you will need to arbitrate on disputes arising from the creation or revision of articles. Experience of creating and revising articles yourself, particularly where it has involved collaboration, is very valuable in understanding the mindset of disputants who come to arbitration. With reference to your own edits in the main article namespace, please demonstrate why you think you have the right experience to be a good arbitrator.''

A:

A: I disagree with the premise of this question, and decline to answer it on that basis. I instead stand on my history as an Arbitrator, which you may research over on the Arbitration pages.

''Q: Please list out what other Wikipedia usernames you have edited under.''

A:

A: This is the only account I use for editing Wikipedia.
