:'''14.''' Do you think you could elaborate on the parts of the toolset you would most likely use? For example, in Q1 you mentioned [[WP:OTRS]] and [[WP:NPP]]—which specific features of the administrator toolset would supplement your work in these (and other) areas?

::'''A:''' I appreciate the chance to write on this point as I understand it to be a legitimate concern for some editors. I have heard it said that there are three essential elements of the administrator’s toolset: protection, blocking, and deletion. Working backwards from least to most likely to use, and only discussing the near to medium term, I would use protect the least. I have already explained why in question <s>3</s>10. There are times when the correct way to stop disruption is to block editors and so rather than resorting to IRC to try and get that done I would be able to do it myself. I would also respond to some of the clear cases that are reported at ANI (though admittedly I don’t read that as frequently as AN). I would use the delete tool the most. I am active in venues like AfD and DRV and there are definitely some deletion discussions I read but don’t participate in. I would flag those and return to them to assess consensus. Sometimes that consensus will be to delete. [[User:Barkeep49|Barkeep49]] ([[User_talk:Barkeep49|talk]]) 02:21, 5 September 2019 (UTC)

;Additional question from [[User:Senegambianamestudy|Senegambianamestudy]]

:'''15''' Africa is more affected by [[WP:BIAS]]. Yet, many of our great Black or African editors have left or are leaving the project. Why do you think that is, and part do you think you can play to ensure we retain our good Black or African editors?
