• If User:OhanaUnited is happy to mentor, I think you would be a valuable addition to the team, so I would be willing to support. Associate editor positions don't need to be as experienced as board members, just willing to learn and able to work well with others, especially if someone is able to take the lead if calleging scenarios arise (e.g. confilcting peer reviews).

• Support application Though I lack experience in such matters, I have recently learned enough to recognize this to be an easy decision. Regarding mentoring, I think I could use some mentoring myself. Whenever appropriate, please CC me on mentor-mentee communications. In particular, I am having trouble dealing with the large number of referee invites required to recruit volunteers. Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 18:50, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
