I'm adding myself because another user suggested that I should, and I also think I should see what problems I have that need to be taken care of. Danielaustinhall12 (talk) 20:12, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

 Reviews 
 * Hi there Danielaustinhall12. Well done on creating the Thrust Air 2000 article. Looks good and plenty of info, but it could do with some citations to back up the information, such as a few web links and news articles. Have a look at Citing sources which should help with this.
 * You very rarely use edit summarys to let others know what your doing. While its not compulsory, many users find it helpful to know the nature of your edit without having to delve into the history each time. Try to be concise and informative, for example here where you used the edit summary well. Also, with small edits like that you might like to check the "minor" tab.
 * I did noticed your RfA which didn't succeed. I've never seen an RfA pass with under 1000 mainspace edits, and you currently have just over 160, but don't be discouraged by this. You need to build up your mainspace edits, comment on a few articles for deletion and get involved with a few of these. Also take a look at the Community Portal where you can get some more ideas of things to get involved with. There are many, many things you can help out with without being an administrator, and they will all count in your favor if you decide to reapply.
 * Overall you are an enthusiastic editor with a good attitude. Keep up the good work!! D0762 (talk) 16:42, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

You may find the following advice helpful. If you have not done so already, please read
 * Advice from  Dloh  cierekim.
 * Guide to requests for adminship
 * WP:Admin
 * the admin reading list.
 * Generally, It has been my experience that it takes at least 3,000 edits in a variety of areas to learn policy and guidelines well enough to attempt adminship. Also, nominees returning after an unsuccessful RfA should wait at least another 3,000 edits and 3 months before trying again. Nominees need to show the ability to contribute a number of significant edits to build the encyclopedia.
 * The Admin tools allow the user to block and unblock other editors, delete and undelete pages and protect  and unprotect  pages. Nominees will therefore do well to gain experience and familiarity with such areas as WP:AIV, WP:AFD, WP:CSD, Protection policy, and WP:BLOCK to learn when to do these things.
 * Adminship inevitably leads one to 1) need to explain clearly the reasons for one's decisions, 2) need to review one's decisions and change one's mind when it is reasonable to do so, 3) need to review one's decisions and stand firm when it is reasonable to do so, 4) need to negotiate a compromise. Admins need a familiarity with dispute resolution. The ability to communicate clearly is essential.
 * Article building is the raison d'être of Wikipedia. I recommend significant participation in WP:GA or WP:FA as the surest way to gain article building experience. Alternatively, one should have added a total of 30,000 bytes of content, not necessarily all in one article. I find a large number of "Wikignome" type edits to be helpful. Hope this helps.

 Questions


 * 1) Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * I am particularly pleased with my creation of Thrust Air 2000 because it is a page that I made completely by myself.
 * 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?
 * I have been in a edit conflict in which I put that the band UNDEROATH is screamo and others disagreed with me and said the they were exclusively metalcore. I dealt with it by giving citations, and I will do the same in the future.
