 * Hi there Andy, I thought I'd give you a quick review (I haven't done one for a while, so sorry if it's rubbish!). You sure do like Huggle! Now, vandal fighting is always a good thing, it helps clean the wiki up and make us more reliable. From an RfA perspective, it's not always a good thing however - it makes your actual content contributions hard to see. Now, I have found a few content additions to articles, but not many compared to your huggle edits. Can I suggest you lay of huggle for a while? Actual content editing really does help you get a true grasp of the most important aspects of the wiki. There's a couple of pages I saw you'd like to get upto GA standard - why not spend a week working just on one article and try and achieve that goal? I think you'd probably enjoy it, and it would certainly look good at RfA. When you've got that one article up to GA standard, you might consider working on other articles in the same editing field because you'll then have experience in that specific area and it'll be easier to get another article up to standard. We have WikiProject Meteorology and WikiProject Severe weather - you might enjoy getting involved with them and collaborate on an article in one of their drives. You could go to the project talk page and ask if anyone wants to work with you on an article, that would certainly be fun. Another thing I've noticed is that you're slightly low on the Wikipedia space edits. I often have spend a full day commenting on AfD's - it keeps me up to speed with the deletion area and it's certainly good to read other peoples comments in the deletion debates. I'd certainly consider putting more work in at XfD's before you consider adminship. All in all, you're a great editor (certainly one of the good guys) and not too far away from having a good chance at a successful RfA - if you take a few of the pointers about you'll get there easily and probably enjoy the wiki even more. Happy editing, and I hope this was of use to you.  Ryan Postlethwaite See the mess I've created or let's have banter 22:06, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

 Questions


 * 1) Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * I am pleased with my vandal fighting and weather contributions as well as my new articles (see here for most of my major contribs. I am probably most pleased with my major expansion and development of Greenhead College which I am hoping to get to GA status.
 * 1) 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?
 * Not really, most editors tend to collaborate with me. Obviously I have had my share of vandal attacks in which I simply revert and warn and possibly report to AIV. If any editor conflicts were to come up I would gather my sources and expansion material and present them on the articles talk page and on the user talk page and resolve from there.
