• Hello, Mario. A dig through your article contribution show some really good work, but I see a number of issues you need to address before you can consider running for RfA:
  1. Your use of sockpuppets [1] is much too recent for an RfA to pass. RfA is all about trust, and there are few breaches of trust less accepted than willfully stacking votes to create the appearance of consensus.
  2. You forget often to add summaries to edits you make. There is a preference setting to remind you to put one in if you attempt to save an edit without; I recommend you turn it on until you get the reflex.
  3. I see very little participation in project space. While that's not an absolute requirement, most editors who comment on RfAs look at past participation in process as an indicator of your familiarity with policy and guidelines. Working on deletion debates, or helping in dispute resolution (such as giving third opinions) would go a long way to help.
• All in all, you're a valuable contributor but you need to widen your contributions before you would be likely to pass RfA and I would recommend you get a good year's track record between that socking incident and an RfA. Good editing. — Coren ^(talk) 05:59, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
• Please remember to mark your edits as minor if (and only if) they genuinely are minor edits (see Help:Minor edit). The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearranging of text without modifying content should be flagged as a 'minor edit.'

• Please supply parent categories for every category you create. This is a pet peeve of mine. --Stepheng3 (talk) 19:21, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Questions

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

   I can say that i am most pleased by the Faidherbe Bridge article.

3. 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?

   No edit wars tried to avoid going to war.
