Reviews

The administrators who explained why your RFA failed ([1]) gave you good advice. I have only a few things to add:

You don't yet have a good sense of Wikipedia's inclusion criteria. The article you cited in your answer to #1 has been deleted, and the article Alternate blasters (Artemis Fowl), which you created and edited, was redirected, with the content presumably deleted. You can learn what not to write about by reading WP:NFT, WP:NOT, and pages in the "see also" section of those two. I recommend that you start skimming "Today's Featured Article" on the Main Page to get a sense of how an excellent article should look, including the references.
Wikipedia is not a social networking site. You have almost 500 edits to your user and user talk pages, and only 100 edits in the article namespace. You should quit tinkering with your userpage (it's fine the way it is), and keep discussions with your "friends" on Wikipedia to relevant issues. I suggest you use your Wikiproject as a guide for writing articles on worthwhile subjects - and if you need help finding a reference for your ideas, ask someone!

I wish you good luck. YechielMan 03:59, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Questions

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

I think that the article that I am most pleased about would have to be The Serpent's Egg Trilogy. I am most pleased with this article because I wrote it with, what I believe, to be great aplomb. I started it the moment that I finished reading the series and I realized that it was great enough to have a Wikipedia article, and when I saw that there wasn't one, well I just had to create it.
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 had a few minor scirmishes with some other editors, but for the most part no. I always tried to maintain a pleasant demeanor and I am sure that I always thouroughly wrote everything out, and I will continue to do so.
Optional question from Vassyana: Have you considered participating in WP:AFD and/or WP:RFA? If not, why not? If so, why have you declined to become involved?

Well, yes I have considered it, but the reason I have not participated, was that I thought that others might have a firmer grasp on the topics. I also believed, at the time, that I was not ready to help. According to your recommendations, I believe I will participate more in the afore mentioned topics.
