- Hello there. As promised, here's my review. :-) The first thing I'd like to comment about is the frequency of which you appear to change your signature. You don't just change its colors, you change your nickname as well. Because of that, I've taken you for a new user several times at the Esperanza Coffee Lounge because of your signature revamp. Therefore I could suggest that you establish at least a permanent name so that other users will get used to it and be able to easily recognize you in the future.
Now, the proper review:
I believe that you wish to become an administrator one day (as stated in one of your userboxes) so I will analyse your contributions in the perspective of an eventual RfA. And so it appears that if you attempted an RfA at this moment, your chances of succeeding would be very low. I see no recent participation in admin-oriented tasks, especially no participation on WP:XFD (which is corroborated by your low Wikipedia space count). Administrators are given access to a page deletion tool, and they are naturally expected to know under which circumstances should a page be deleted. Participation in XfD discussions would familiarize you with WP's consensus building for deletion, and broaden your knowledge of WP's deletion/speedy deletion policies. I also see only sporadic vandal fight (and in many of those cases you did not warn the vandal). If you wish to become an administrator then I strongly suggest that you really get more involved with countervandalism. Without it and XfD, other users will simply say on your RfA that you don't need the admin tools for the tasks you perform on Wikipedia.
You're a good editor, I see that you are particularly involved with articles related with DragonBall (you might even be involved with WikiProject Dragon Ball), and that is quite commendable. You're also a social, easygoing user, something I've witnessed many times due to your permanent connection with Esperanza. I, for one, really appreciate that. I believe that it's a strong indicator that a user cherishes contact with other users and is willing to communicate with them.
Finally, my last suggestion would be increasing your edit summary usage for minor edits.
I hope this was helpful. Happy editing! Regards.--Húsönd 23:59, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
- Hello there, Atomic-Super-Suit, how are you doing? Since you want a general review, here is mine.
- First of all, try to improve the amount of minor edit summary usage, which is currently at around 60%. Since some people can't check minor edits (there is an option to disable them from the watchlist), it is almost more important to use summaries in them than in major edits.
- I see you have uploaded several images, including fair use images like Image:Mace2.jpg and Image:P.Eric.JPG, Image:Ar-iel.JPG, Image:FreeGuard.JPG, Image:Errol.JPG and Image:Flipfort.jpg. Since you upload many, you should consider setting a fair use rationale for each of them, and the new ones you upload, as it will prevent the image from being deleted in the future. Remember to give as much information as possible: from where you picked it, url of the image, url of the page holding the image, if a screenshot, the episode number and title, if a magazine, the number and page, etc, etc.
- Now, considering your free images like Image:42picman.JPG, Image:Halweenie.JPG, Image:HapWorm.JPG, Image:HGGFlag.JPG and Image:StrongWorm.JPG, I must remind you that Wikipedia is not a file storage areas. Only upload images that are to be used and necessary for Wikipedia.
- I see you are still new to Wikipedia, you have done around 300 edits in August, 1100 in September and 1700 in October. You don't still have an "average", that is, several months contributing a very similar amount of edits, the amount that gives you enough time inside and outside Wikipedia. Once you find that point, keep it up.
- Spending time reverting, that is good. I suggest you to use the -n test warnings, in example, {{test1-n}} and {{test2-n}} instead of {{test}} and {{test2}} to remember to pass as parameter the article name. Warnings like this one are misleading, as people is not able to know which articles the user modified to receive those warnings without checking the user's contribution history. I suggest not using "rv" or "rvv" as edit summaries, because they are not understandable for new users. It is not harder to type "reverting nonsense", "reverting vandalism", etc. And don't forget to substitute the warnings, like here, here and here. Also, please consider whether you are reverting a vandalism or a good faithed effort. This does not appear to be vandalism. Nor this, nor this (the user admitted he removed content and was asking for help to correct the page), this (it is just a test), and this (appears to be a good faithed addition).
- Although your signature is shorter than the previous ones, at 250 or so characters is still too long. Try to keep it below 200 characters. Also, you may consider changing all the references to Suit-n-tie to your current username, so that people don't get directed to your old page by mistake.
- I believe you are doing pretty well. For someone who have recently joined Wikipedia, you have several friends, you are involved in a WikiProject and and Esperanza, revert mistakes and warn vandals. You also seem to be focused on articles about anime and games, so I would suggest you to try to polish one to good article status by adding sources and references for their claims so that it becomes useful for the community. And remember, some edits that may appear as vandalism are either tests or good faithed attempts at improving the article. Be careful when labeling them as vandalism, as that creates unnecessary conflicts. Good luck! -- ReyBrujo 21:53, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Questions
- Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
- Well, I started the Andy Davis article... It's Stub-class, but I'm proud of it nonetheless.
- 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've been stressed out many times before, as I'm usually being personally attacked in one way or another. It hasn't happened recently, though.
