Wikipedia:Editor review/Spongefrog (2)

Spongefrog*
Hi. I've been editing since February 2009 and have about 11,000 edits, give or take. I've had an editor review before this (here), and then an WP:RfA (here). It was unsucessful, but I think the feedback's helped my editing to improve somewhat. I want to be reviewed for the two most obvious, generic, boring reasons that everyone gives; I want to know what others think of my contributions, and I want to know how to further improve my editing.

 Questions


 * 1) What are your primary contributions to Wikipedia? Are there any about which you are particularly pleased? Why?
 * I generally do WP:XfD's and WP:Wikignoming. I'm probably most proud of my collaborative work to World War II and Ratchet & Clank (video game), both of which I helped to achieve good article status, and my WP:Redirects for discussion work in general.
 * 1) Have you been in any disputes 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 any more since last, that I can remember.
 * Not any more since last, that I can remember.

Additional Questions from White Shadows
 * 1) In say about 6 months, what (if anything) do you hope to accomplish on Wikipedia?
 * Not much really, basically just more of the same. Apart from what's stated on my userpage (under long-term to-do list), I'd like to increase my activity level back to how it was at some point. Maybe start to write some articles of my own, or try to eliminate the problems that came up in my RfA, Lord Spongefrog,   (I am Czar of all Russias!)  10:28, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) Do you ever plan on going up for another RFA again? If so, how long would you wait? Would you plan on applying again in the long term or short term?
 * Though adminship's not my main focus on Wikipedia (I can contribute fairly well without the tools), I've thought a lot about this, and decided I won't run again until later this year. Maybe around November/December, if ever. I want to make sure that all the issues that arose in my first RfA are completely resolved, if possible. Then I want some time in between. It's not set in stone; if something convinced me I could pass I might reconsider, Lord Spongefrog,   (I am Czar of all Russias!)  10:28, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

 Reviews 
 *  Review from White Shadows 

Well you are on the right track. (I would type more but I have to go so I'll give you a better review later today, God willing) May I suggest admin coaching? That may be able to fix up any more issues that you have. And even if you choose not to go up for an RFA, AC can still help you out in you overall participation with the project. I'm sure that there would be several people willing to coach you, you have skill after all.-- White Shadows you're breaking up 13:38, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the review, Coldplay dammit, I mean White Shadows. I won't go in for admin coaching right now; it's pretty backlogged and I don't want to make the situation any worse. Maybe I'll give it a shot if/when it clears up. Thanks anyway, Lord Spongefrog,   (I am Czar of all Russias!)  21:45, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Alright then. I'll be waiting and watching to see if an opening is available and I'll let you know. However, your one fatal flaw is you lack of content creation. You have 3 GA's and a DYK but you have yet to create a GA or even a DYK from scratch. Try that and then you could be the ideal candidate. (There may be some minro fixes still required in your editing pattern but I think that content creation is the last major one. IMHO, you've overcome your so called "maturity issues". Others may disagree with me however.-- White Shadows you're breaking up 00:39, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I know exactly what you mean about the content creation. In my opinion Wikipedia should, with something like 3,000,000+ articles, be shifting towards maintenance and improvement of existing content. But anyway, not everyone agrees, so I'm going to start patrolling news sites to find a decient subject to write about. I'm semi-working on a sandbox article, but I doubt it'll survive, Lord Spongefrog,   (I am Czar of all Russias!)  11:03, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
 * We could always use you over a WP:SHIPS there are over 500-1000 article that are yet to be created about german u-boats. And there is no way that I'm going to fill them all in either ;)-- White Shadows you're breaking up 03:26, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
