Written Test

edit

Please leave your response to each question where indicated.

  1. What speedy deletion criteria does this page apply to?
    A:A10 5:30, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
  2. You revert something thinking it's vandalism, but you get a rather irate reply on your talk page: "That's not vandalism! This is a serious fact covered my many research articles! How dare you accuse me of (insert type of vandalism here, as well as more complaints)!" You check, and sure enough, he's right. What do you do?
    A:Apologize (on his talk page) and strike out the warning notice. 05:30, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
  3. You add a PROD tag to an article as it doesn't seem to be notable, but the article gets blanked entirely by the author (who was the only substantial contributor to the article). What should you do?
    A:Not 100% certain, but a message on the original editor's talk page inquiring if he intends to put up an improved article. If not, I think you would pull the PROD tag and replace it with a CSD -A1. 05:30, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
  4. You nominate an article for speedy deletion as a copyright violation. Two minutes later, the CSD tag was removed by the page creator. What should you do?
    A:Replace it and give him a warning for removing a deletion tag. 05:30, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
  5. I found an image on a website of a person that could be really useful in an article I'm writing about them. The website says that the image has been released into the public domain, so what should I do to upload it to Wikipedia?
    A: Add the { {PD-US} } Template to the bottom of the file description when you upload it. 05:52, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
  6. Name the three "core content policies" on Wikipedia and what they mean.
    A: It must be encyclopedic, in other words, not a definition like you would find in a dictionary. It must be notable. That means the article in question must be supported by information drawn from reliable second-hand sources. Lastly, it must have a neutral point of view; it cannot take sides. 05:52, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
  7. You want to upload an image under a claim of fair use. Can you upload the image to Wikimedia Commons? Why or why not?
    A:Yes, but I wouldn't. I can't figure out how to fill out that damn template. I would put it right on en-Wikipedia. 05:30, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
  8. This page can be deleted under what speedy deletion criteria?
    A:G10 5:30, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
  9. A user has been behaving really badly on Wikipedia. Talking to the user about the issue does not solve the problem. What should you do?
    A: You can ask for guidance at Editor Assistance; You can request a third opinion, or you can ask for mediation. 05:52, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
  10. What do you wish to become on Wikipedia in the future? Probably an administrator? Or just a regular productive editor?
    A: Unknown at this time. I feel I have a skill set for administration in development, I just don't know if I want to take the time to fully develop it. 05:52, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
