Signpost interview request - Random Page Patrol

Hello! I'm writing an article for The Signpost about the Random Page Patrol wikiproject. We often do interviews with Wikiproject members, and I saw your name on the list of members. As a very early member, I'd love to ask about the project and your involvement in it. I could drop a few questions for you below which you could answer in your own time over the next couple of weeks. Let me know - thank you! Ganesha811 (talk) 19:19, 9 September 2021 (UTC)

@Ganesha811: I doubt I could offer much, unfortunately. When I get bored once in a while I hit the Random page button and if I find something I like, I tag it or make a few changes as need be. - Floydian ^τ _¢ 03:51, 10 September 2021 (UTC)

That's no problem by me - I suspect that's what many random page patrollers do. I'd still love to hear from you. I'll drop the questions below - if there are any you are interested in answering, just do so by September 20th, 10 days from now.. If you have any questions or clarifications, just ask. If you don't want to take part at all, that's no problem of course and go ahead and remove the questions. Thanks. Ganesha811 (talk) 12:51, 10 September 2021 (UTC)

• As an early member, do you remember how the Random Page Patrol come to be? How did you come across it?

  As far as I know, it was around from the beginning. - Floydian ^τ _¢ 13:30, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

• Why did you decide to become a random page patroller? What do you find valuable about the project

  I was bored and wanted to wander down the rabbit hole. Random page patrol allows us to find those obscure articles that may have skipped by new page patrol. - Floydian ^τ _¢ 13:30, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

• How often do you randomly page patrol? Do you use it mostly as a break from other Wikipedia contributions, or is it a major part of how you spend your time here?

  Once every few months. I do use it as a break. - Floydian ^τ _¢ 13:30, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

• Are there any articles you have edited as part of the Random Page Patrol that particularly stand out in your memory?

  I can't say there are. - Floydian ^τ _¢ 13:30, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

• What would you say to someone considering joining the Patrol?If you click "random page", give it the full patrol. Check the references, tag it as necessary. - Floydian ^τ _¢ 13:30, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

• Is there anything else you'd like to add that I haven't asked you?

Hi @Floydian: - if you are interested in being interviewed, just a reminder to please answer the questions you'd like to respond to by the end of the day tomorrow. Thank you again! Ganesha811 (talk) 12:13, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

Hey @Ganesha811:, I've added my responses. Like I mentioned, I don't have too much to offer. I've hit the button maybe 5 times. - Floydian ^τ _¢ 13:30, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

@Floydian: - the article has been edited. It's at Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Next issue/WikiProject report - please check it out ahead of publication on Sunday, and if you feel I've changed the meaning of any of your answers through editing, let me know and I'll fix it. Thank you again for participating!

Looks good to me! - Floydian ^τ _¢ 17:26, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
