Review by The Earwig:
 * Hi! I must say that you have generally done good work for a relatively new user when it comes to articles. You have a small collection of them on your user page, and although they are almost all stubs, they show a level of contributions to Wikipedia that are at the very least, noteworthy. However, there are probably some things that you need to address before you go on to a request for adminship. I'm a little worried that you aren't very familiar with Wikipedia's policies based on some of the conficts that you have been in over the past month. I noticed a lot of conflict that has happened regarding your userpage in March and April. For example, you repeatedly placed page protection templates and fair-use content on your userpage, which was discussed here I am worried that you might not have a complete grasp of how these policies work; you almost got yourself blocked.


 * I am by no means trying to sound unfair. I just think that before you try to become an admin, you should get these issues behind you, or you wont pass your RfA. People look at these things in great detail. Good luck when you decide to run, though!


 * One final point: after looking at some of your contributions, did you know that there is a preview button for viewing your edit before you save it? I wondered this because you often make mistakes in your editing that could have easily been avoided if you previewed your edit. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to read my review!

Review by Timmeh:
 * I have seen you and your work around the articles I edit a few times, as you probably already know. You have made good edits and are on a good track toward becoming an well-respected user. My biggest concern about your editing is your apparent stubbornness when it comes to articles you create. When an editor reverts one or more of your edits, and you don't understand why, it is best to ask that user on their talk page to explain their edit in more detail than was in their edit summary. Repeatedly reverting someone's edits that are not obvious vandalism never gives them a good impression of you. I suggest reading this essay, which talks about the BOLD, revert, discuss cycle.


 * There are good things you're doing that I encourage you to keep doing. You have been very civil from the get go and have refrained from personal attacks, which is very good and is extremely important in making constructive contributions to the encyclopedia. I see you have also started using edit summaries, which is also good as it helps avoid conflicts.


 * Keep doing what you're doing. I suggest you keep building on the articles you created, possibly bringing some of them up to good article status, all the while adding references to reliable sources and keeping up the grammar, spelling, and formatting. Also, you might want to try participating in AFD and other discussions in the Wikipedia namespace. Overall, you're on track to become a great editor and content builder. Just take to heart the advice in these reviews and you'll do fine here. Tim  meh  !  23:12, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the review, and I am sorry ,but how am i being stubborn? I would really like to know so I can imporve on that.Also, i'm currently working on Nout Wellink, extremely hard.And one last thing, I have noticed almost everywhere I edit you do something to it, which I must say I realized sometime ago and appreciate it.-Þέŗṃέłḥìμŝ LifeDeath 17:58, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
 * One example that was addressed by The Earwig is the page protection template and fair use images on your userpage. Another that I noticed was the repeated reverting of my edits at Lifeline, although I was partly to blame as I participated in that small edit war as well. You seem, at least during the two aforementioned instances, to be reluctant to discuss issues and more inclined to repeatedly revert, sometimes without explanation. However, you are showing improvement and a willingness to learn Wikipedia policies and guidelines. Tim  meh  !  20:18, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, I take this advice to heart. Thank you on telling me what I need to improve on.Peace Out-Þέŗṃέłḥìμŝ LifeDeath 12:27, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Review by MelicansMatkin:
 * Well, you've definitely improved as an editor since my first interactions with you at WP:PCP. You're willing to listen to other people's viewpoints and up to debating the merits of them to try and understand the underlying opinion. Your understanding of policies has increased as well, and this has been reflected in your most recent edits - whether to articles or to talk pages. You may be a bit overeager to make edits at times, but being bold is necessary and I haven't seen any bad-faith edits on you behalf. Considering that you are only 14 (according to your profile), I think the quality of your edits is, overall, impressive, and will only improve in time. I look forward to seeing you grow as you learn more about the policies that shape the community and become a mature and respected editor. MelicansMatkin (talk) 04:05, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
