Wikipedia-related

1. How did you first hear of Wikipedia, and why did you decide to become a Wikipedia editor?
A: I decided to join Wikipedia....Well kinda long story. But, long story short, I saw the Xbox Live article and saw so many errors needed to be done, so I clicked log in, and then made a account.
2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
A: Xbox Live, I worked so much on it. Its alot of tough work.
3. What is the origin(s) of your username?
A:Simple, Rko:From Randy Orton's signature move the RKO (Running Knock Out) and Orton:From his name of course. Although, my first name NimiTize came from the game Zoids: Genesis. I made up Nimi, then mixed in Tize in it.
4. What other project(s) do you participate in on Wikipedia besides WP:PW?
A: WP:VG. Outside of Wrestling, I love video games. I mostly play the Xbox 360 instead of my PlayStation 3 due to the fact that Home didn't come out yet. Halo 3, Guitar Hero 3 and Rainbow Six Vegas 2>>>>>>Top games right there :]
5. What do you like most about Wikipedia? What do you like least about Wikipedia?
A: I don't like the fact that you work for something but you don't get paid for it. At least now I think that. When I first started editing Wikipedia, I was like all in to it. I made some cool friends like, ThinkBlue, LAX, Matt, Zenlax, Nici and so forth, they all supported me through out my Wikipedia career, although I had some "feuds" in the past with WP:PW members.

Wrestling related

1. How did you begin watching professional wrestling?
A: I started watching wrestling when I was very young. As I can remember, around 5 or 6. Me and my Dad watched it every day when I went over at his house, it began by watching The Rock on TV and DVD, boy, he made our day. At my age now, I think that WWE or should I say "WWF" got a little boring after The Rock left and didn't come back, but life goes on.
2. Who is your favorite wrestler, and why?
A: Shawn Michaels and Randy Orton. Why, well Michaels was always my favorite, but I get a little over excited when I here his music. I even remember the day he returned, October 8. Me and my brother were watching our daily show RAW, and once we heard the music, I jumped out of my bed. Though, I wish he won at Cyber Sunday. Orton on the other hand, I really don't know why I like, he's just better then the roster (Excluding Cryme Tyme, LOVE them)
3. If you were to enter pro wrestling, what would you choose your entrance theme to be?
A: Through the Fire and Flames by DragonForce or Stricken by Disturbed. Yea I know there Rock songs but for now, yes.
4. If you were in control of any of the major wrestling promotions (WWE/TNA/etc.), what would you change about them?
A: Bring back the orignal ECW, and give Shawn Michaels the belt.
5. What has been your favorite wrestling match/event of all-time?
A: The Rock vs Stone Cold, and HBK vs John Cena (The 1 hour match)

Personal

1. What city/area do you currently live in?
A: Heh, "Shad Gaspard and JTG its CrYmE TyMe", you do the rest.
2. What other language(s) do you speak besides English?
A: Spanish
3. What are your interests?
A: Playing Sports, Video Games, and watching RAW
4. What do you do in your spare time when you aren't editing Wikipedia/at work/at school/etc.?
A: ^^^^Look up
5. If you were stranded on a deserted island, what three items would you bring with you?

Community-asked questions

1. What's your favorite song off Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock? (from ThinkBlue)
A: Through the Fire and Flames by DragonForce. Its got to be one of the hardest songs I ever played, with my hands being tired at the end, but the way the song goes makes my body move alot. I actually manage to get 98% complete, which the beginning I can get 100% on those hammer-ons :) It became my favorite song as well! I hear it every day on the subway going home and to school on my iPod.
