Reviews

I reviewed your user page, talk page, and some edits from the Edit Counter tool. Here's what I found:

On your user page, you are a WikiGnome, not a Wikiknome. :)
You have more edits to user and user talk pages than to articles. Since you're still learning how this forum works, that's okay, but in the long run you should be looking to change that. Tinker less with your userpage, signature and so forth, and devote more of your efforts to improving articles.
On the other side of that coin, your interactions with other users, especially Shining Spirit, have been positive. Wikipedia is more than an online community, but it is not less than that.
You have a link to the edit counter on your user page, and you once remarked, "I passed 250 edits!" Beware of editcountitis.
On my user page, I have a list of articles I've created or significantly improved based on my own knowledge (as opposed to cleanup of other people's work, which is also valuable). Consider making such a list for yourself, to encourage you to make nontrivial additions to the encyclopedia.
Good administrator candidates tend to have experience doing a lot of different things: vandal fighting, deletion debates, article writing and editing, dispute resolution, etc. With your RC patrolling, you're on the way, but see what else you can do to help Wikipedia.

I wish you good luck. YechielMan 16:56, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Questions

Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?

I am especially proud of my contributions to WP:AIR in general, especially to aero-specs tags. However I haven't made many factual contributions but am trying to ease myself into them.
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 not been in many stressful situations. I have been involved in a couple of AFD disputes, but none of them have escalated. Mostly I try to shrug of comments from vandals and consider problems from other users, such as my using a template for my signature, which has been resolved.
What should Wikipedia be when it grows up? (Please be detailed in your answer). The Transhumanist 05:27, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
