Are you leaving Wikipedia, as you have said at the Esperanza stress lounge (or whatever it's called)? If so, I guess the editor review should probably be closed, but if you decide to stay (I hope you do!) then you should let people know that. Otherwise, you seem like a good editor to me. I've looked a small bit through your contributions, and the ones you make are very valuable, especially the ones to Christian music, your stated area of interest. The "You have new messages" prank is getting sorta old, I would suggest removing it, but whatever. Overall, good editor, and I hope very much you stay! -Zapptastic (talk) 04:56, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
On the assumption that you intend to stay for a future RfA (well, you said so above, so.. :) ), I have a couple of things you could take a look at. First and foremost, you should consider using edit summaries for every edit you make, even for apparently unimportant or minor ones. They make life much easier for everyone, and you'll be judged in an RfA on how often you use them - try to get your usage up to (or better, above) 90%.

Apart from that, you should try your hand at contributing to the Wikipedia namespace, especially to such things as AfD debates and RfA discussions, since fewer than ~300 edits in that space indicates to many users that you may not be confident enough with Wikipedia policy. Finally, if you have the time, pick one or two articles that you particularly find interesting and get them up to FA-class - it's bloody difficult, but many users are very appreciative of people that make such efforts, and will reward you in an RfA. Hope all this helps, and good luck for your future RfA! RandyWang (^chat/_patch) 10:37, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Not really knowing you... I just have a quick comment. You might want to work on using edit summary's more. 67% isn't horrible, but manual edit summary of 12% looks really bad. To be fair, I haven't looked though your summaries personally so if your making a recent effort those numbers might not be representative of current trends. Good luck with your RfA when it comes around! ---J.S (t|c) 23:28, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Questions

Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
I was really proud when I started my first article, and again when I uploaded my first pic. Other than that, not really.
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 any fights around here. I have seen some that I am glad that I am not in. Some users have caused me stress, but not enough to get into a big war about it. I almost left Wikipedia because I was frustrated about a fight that was going on, and about something Jimbo said. But other than that, things have been pretty cool in terms of my relations with other editors.
