Mattl2001 (talk · contribs) Hey everyone! My name is Matt. I am posting here because I recently had my RfA closed. It was suggested to me that I post her eto get feedback and advice on how to become an admin and when I should reapply. I appreciate all feedback and criticisms so please feel free to comment. Thanks. Mattl2001 00:16, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

  • I have not taken a look at your actual edits but people usualy look for someone who has a knowledge of policy, fights plenty of vandalism, vote is Xfd's, works on articles, and is civil. DO/be all these things and you should become an admin someday:)--James, La gloria è a dio 03:22, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Also wait until you have been here a year before you try in another Rfa. You are a bit new to wikipedia.--James, La gloria è a dio 03:23, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

You've created a very nice userpage, and that's a great way to organize your efforts. However, I think it's time to move on and edit some articles. You have not made more than six edits to any one article, so I would encourage you to devote more time to article writing or to cleanup, wikify and categorization (which includes stub sorting). We're here to write an encyclopedia and to keep it squeaky clean. You have shown the ability to help us with that, so keep it up!

Regarding RFA, a year is longer than necessary. Generally, if you have six months experience (i.e. wait until November/December this year) and 3000+ edits across various namespaces (esp. Wikipedia: ) and a record of good behavior, you should not have much trouble passing RFA. One thing to start with is to participate in the RFA decision-making process so that you understand how it works.

I wish you good luck. YechielMan 18:43, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Questions

  1. Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
    Not that I can think of. I guess just removing vandalism and finding article that meet the criteria for speedy deletion.
  2. 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?
    I have never been in any conflicts over editing. This one user once left me a message in which he was clearly agrivated that I reverted his edit. I reverted his edit because it seemed like incorrect info and he did not cite any sources. It turned out his info was correct and I apologized for reverting his edit and suggested to him that he cite his sources to avoid this kind of misunderstanding in the future.
