Preliminary comments:


 * [[Image:Symbol support vote.svg|20px]] User page & talk page okay.
 * [[Image:Symbol support vote.svg|20px]] E-mail enabled.
 * [[Image:Symbol opinion vote.svg|20px]] Edit summary usage currently 80% for major edits and 93% for minor edits. But it seems like you're always using edit summaries now, so it's a matter of time until usage reaches 100%.
 * Currently 100% since I put in the option in preferences that reminds me about this.
 * [[Image:Symbol support vote.svg|20px]] Good.
 * Currently 100%
 * [[Image:Symbol oppose vote.svg|20px]] Been actively editing Wikipedia for only a couple of months. I don't recommend an RFA before three months of active editing, and strongly suggest four months of such editing to have past before launching an RFA.
 * [[Image:Symbol oppose vote.svg|20px]] Lack of experience concerns as per low edit count. More participation is needed on the mainspace, as well as Wikipedia space. Mainspace-Talk space ratio is good though.
 * Currently attempting to do more article work, especially citing sources etc.
 * [[Image:Symbol opinion vote.svg|20px]] Good for mainspace participation. Writing a few stubs that interest you would be excellent (searching for red links and turning them into blue links is a much appreciated strategy). Keep a record of any stubs you create. Getting involved in portal space is also a plus. Portals are interesting, easy to manage, and are usually in great need of attention. Just choose a portal that interests you. :-) As for Wikipedia space, participation in WP:XFD is a must. BTW, becoming a new page patroller is another plus as it will get you accustomed to all the criteria for speedy deletion. Monitor WP:RFPP and WP:ANI, typical areas of admin intervention.
 * I'm not exactly clear on portals. What are they, what's the purpose of them, and how do they work?  Yeah, going to look for more XfDs, and have done some NPP work.
 * Portals are pages intended to serve as "Main Pages" for specific topics or areas. See the portal directory in order to check a few portals, how they look like and what's their purpose.
 * [[Image:Symbol opinion vote.svg|20px]] You must fight more vandals, be a ruthless recent changes patroller! :-) I suggest trying a tool such as Vandalproof. More reports to WP:AIV needed.
 * Recently approved on Vandalproof, I don't go looking for AIV's (should I), I just report them when I encounter them.
 * [[Image:Symbol opinion vote.svg|20px]] Good, enjoy fighting the vandals. :-) Always remember to warn them, and report them to WP:AIV when appropriate (see instructions for adequate reports there). Monitor WP:AIV to see which requests are declined and removed by admins, and naturally which result in users being blocked.
 * [[Image:Symbol opinion vote.svg|20px]] More participation in WP:XFD needed.
