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. I'm already involved in regular RC patrolling (initially by hand, and more recently using Sam Hocevar's "godmode-light" script; the availability of a faster and more reliable rollback button will certainly let me increase my efforts in this. I'm also a big proponent of tidyness, so I would like to help with the general backlogs in various housekeeping tasks (particularly copyvios, in the tagging of which I've occasionaly participated).
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A. I've only made major contributions to a small number of articles (most of them on fairly obscure episodes of military history); of these, the one I've worked most on and polished the most is War of the League of Cambrai, which I created over the course of several months (starting from three existing stubs).
A larger portion of my work has been related to organizational tasks in areas related to military history. I played a significant role in the return of WikiProject Battles to an active state, as well as creating Portal:War to further increase participation in the subject. In addition, I created and populated many of the sub-categories of Category:Battles by country (as well as bringing the naming of the existing ones to a standard form).
3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
A. I was involved in several (admittedly very mild) disagreements in the course of my categorization of battles, related mainly to how certain country categories should be used (and whether they should exist at all). Since I discussed the issue with the other editors in question without reverting to my own changes, these disagreements were resolved in fairly short order, and probably can't be considered real conflicts.
For what it's worth, I've a few attemtps to be more involved in the article content RFCs; for instance, I made some changes in response to a request that were, judging from the lack of further conflict, taken as an acceptable compromise.
