  • Hey there Tim, don't worry about your RFA. I just recently failed one as well; in my opinion a failed RFA is one of the most education experiences you can have on-wiki. I assume you took out this ER to look for ways to improve your chances at a future RFA so I will give you some advice on that front: aside from edit count which I think you are well enough informed of after your RFA the "voters" at RFA like to see strong contributions to "admin related areas" so they can gauge what kind of administrator you will be. These aforementioned "admin related areas" being Wikipedia:Articles for Deletion, Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism, and Wikipedia:Speedy deletion (these are not only ones there are many others but strong participation in one or two of these ares will usually be sufficient). There is a recent bias at RFA towards editors with good mainspace contributions (people just got tired of "anti-vandal only" candidates) so I would recommend getting a good article under your belt. You might also want to look into Wikipedia:admin coaching. For more see Wikipedia:Guide to requests for adminship.
    In general comments about your editing, for repetitive tasks such as changing all of one image to another you might want to look into WP:AWB.
    Keep up the good work with those images! - Icewedge (talk) 19:59, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Questions

  1. Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
    Images. Almost all of my contributions are images though. I created the current editor review logo actually come to think about it... hahahaha.
  2. 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?
    Once in a while a conflict will arise, and I stay bold but kind and either discuss it with the person, or open a general discussion to resolve the problem.
