Wikipedia:Editor review/Geo.plrd
Geo.plrd (talk · contribs) I am requesting review as a preliminary to a possible RfA. I really would like to know what I should work on. Geo. 21:53, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

- Yay, another RfA candidate... (sigh). Alrighty, I'll review you as if you were an admin, but as per my "David Fuchs' Don't Do it Man! RfA Discouragement" speech, I just want to ask you, regardless of your contribs, why you want to be an admin. Do you desire to have more responsibilities and fight vandals incessantly? If not, Adminship is not for you. Ok, now that that's outta the way... First of all, if you were to apply for adminship right now, the first thing people would vote against you for is your lack of mainspace edits. Only 94?... wikipedia is chiefly about editing so I suggest you go over to SuggestBot and he'll give you recommendations for articles you might like to help out with (although if you haven't done much editing, the results will be skewed.) I suggest picking an article about something you like (or creating one, making sure it meets requirements) and try and get it up to GA or FA status. If you're browsing through a page and see grammatical errors, fix them. Wrong template? Change it. This tedious tasks are really beneficial, if you don't think you can really write a huge article.
- That ties in with your overall contribs, which are low for an adminship- basically, some users judge on edit count alone, and you'd need upwards of 2,500, 3,000, maybe even 5,000 before some will vote for you. I encourage you to continue working on WP:space, which I can see you are most active in- especially, the AMA, et cetera. But AfDs are an important part as well, and I suggest you be more active there. Helping out at WP:GAC and other WP functions is also helpful.
- In terms of your conduct, I see no "altercations" recently, as it were, but I'll take this moment to remind you to always be civil and assume good faith, no matter how hard it can be (I should know). Overall, thanks for helping out on wikipedia; if you have a question, PM me. Dåvid Fuchs (talk / contribs) 01:38, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Questions
- Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
- I created the Ferrari 212 article. (The red link annoyed me) This (hopefully) increases the Ferrari series
- 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?
- Take your pick. I admit that I have been uncivil in the past, but in the future i will try to be civil.
