Hi all! Conveniently, I think that one of my few skills in life is being able to work with people diplomatically. For that reason, if there's a need for volunteers, I'd be happy to put my knowledge forth by helping out with incoming tickets. I'll be happy to answer any questions, thanks for your consideration, Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 19:44, 6 April 2010 (UTC) Reply

Also, I'll note that access would sometimes help in dealing with copyright-deletion concerns as an en-wiki administrator - but this is a minor point, best regards! Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 19:44, 6 April 2010 (UTC) Reply

Question: Have you, or do you intend to, apply for access to Checkuser and/or Oversight in the upcoming elections at enwiki? Daniel (talk) 21:44, 6 April 2010 (UTC) Reply

Although I have not yet decided, I am currently considering applying for the oversight permission election (but not checkuser). I'm guessing there'll be some candidates with more experienced credentials, so my chances of taking on the oversight responsibility wouldn't be huge - but I'd be glad to make a decision on applying if it would be of help to this application. Just let me know, take care! Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 00:40, 7 April 2010 (UTC) Reply

Not at all, it matters none - it was more just to assuage my curiosity :) Daniel (talk) 03:03, 7 April 2010 (UTC) Reply

I'd like to help out on OTRS because I hear there is a long backlog in dealing with image permissions: I've 41⁄2 year's experience on enwiki, much of it related to copyright questions. Physchim62 12:43, 9 April 2010 (UTC) Reply

• Comment. I've worked with Physchim62 on copyright matters before, and I suspect he'd be a big help with the permissions queues. --Moonriddengirl 13:06, 9 April 2010 (UTC) Reply

I'd like to help out on OTRS because I'm sure you can always need some extra help. I'm a CommComm member and I've been editing en.wp since 2003 and en.wn since 2005. I was formerly a OTRS answerer, but I was a little too blunt with some people. I'll promise to stick with preset messages primarily, only writing individualized messages on a rare basis, with gentleness in mind. -- Zanimum 16:47, 12 April 2010 (UTC) Reply

Note, while I'm on CommComm, I don't want access to the press queue. (If I remember correctly, OTRS people only got access to particular queues.) I'd really only consider myself useful to info-en. -- Zanimum 16:49, 12 April 2010 (UTC) Reply
