Questions for the candidate

A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:
 * 1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)
 * A. Helping keep Category:Candidates_for_speedy_deletion cleaned up as well as watch for articles that probably don't need to be deleted. --Kgarrett1969 05:19, 23 August 2007 (PDT)

 * C. Continue to act as the "Patron Saint" of Crew information pages especially in the area of merging duplicate entries. I anticipate this would include helping maintain the protected crew infobox template. --Kgarrett1969 05:19, 23 August 2007 (PDT)
 * D. Helping with the removal of old versions of YPPedia images that can be removed after new version have been uploaded.

 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to YPPedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A. Infobox crew template - I origianlly set up this template, which has since become one of the most used templates of the YPPedia. --Kgarrett1969 05:19, 23 August 2007 (PDT)
 * B. Carpentry Tutorial - I receive great pleasure that this article has helped many pirates improve their carpentry skills. --Kgarrett1969 05:19, 23 August 2007 (PDT)
 * C. Crew Sample Page - I redesigned this to be easier for new editors to be able to easily set up crew articles that follows informal standards for crew pages. --Kgarrett1969 05:19, 23 August 2007 (PDT)
 * D. Foot Brawl 2006 Trinket Color Chart - This one was not difficult but I'm proud of it because it took a lot of perserverance and coordination with pirates from all the oceans to get this buit. --Kgarrett1969 05:19, 23 August 2007 (PDT)
 * E. Category:Outdated Crew Information - Probably my single greatest contribution to the YPPedia has been updating out of date crew pages. I've not only been updating information but I have also been implementing standard formatting, adding relavent history, cleaning up poor grammar, adding missing information and generally trying to enhance crew articles in general. I have easily updated well over 500 crew pages during my editing career. --Kgarrett1969 05:19, 23 August 2007 (PDT)
