[edit] BlackBear
BlackBear (talk • contribs) I am at a point where I know most of the ins and outs of Wikipedia, yet I'm trying as hard as I can to work my way towards adminship. I'm sort of stuck because I know all the policies, yet my RfA failed. As always, comments appreciated. BlackBear 12:42, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Looking at your edit summary i would say there is a healthy amount of mainspace and Wikipecia type edits. Looking at talk, i would say get more involved in discussion of articles and Wikipedia pages. It is nice to see a lot of contributions towards the prevention of vandalism. As templating seems to be one of the key features of wikipedia, it would be good to see more editing here, getting to know templates and that. However, do not spend excessive time editing, instead use the preview button to see if you've done the right thing.
With ref to RfA, it is likely to have failed because people feel you have not enough experience but do not let this discourage you. It is best to get to know other areas of Wikipedia. Just keep editing but remember quality over quantity. Reviewing some of the comments, please review the instructions more thoroughly and more familiarise yourself with the process.
Do not feel disenchanted. You will get there. I hope this helps. Simply south 18:41, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Questions
- Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
- My whole contribution of vandalism-reverting and newpage patrol is very prominent, and I am proud of that.
- Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
- Most of the conflicts were when I was still new at Wikipedia. These mostly happened when I didn't know a policy or me and another user didn't know a policy. I used to solve it with common sense and by reading Wikipedia's policy guidelines. In the future, I am going to try to compromise more, to make both users happy, instead of mad.
