Your RfA Criteria
Hi, Realist2. Thank you for your message on my talk page.
I want to comment on your RFA Criteria.
- You want an editor to have been at least 4 months since prior unsuccessful RfA attempt. I think you should reduce it to 3 months. Most people try after three months.
- You want an editor to significantly contribute to 3 GA's or 1 FA. What about DYKs? An editor may have only one GA, but she may have 15 to 20 DYKs. Also GAs and FAs are not everything. There are many articles which are far below average. We should also improve them. I think you should be a little flexible.
- You want an editor to have at least 1750 main space edits. I think you should increase that to 2500 to 3000 main space edits. In the past, I've supported editors who have about 1000 main space edits. And those RFAs were successful. I think that was unfair. Misplaced Pages is an encyclopedia. Main space edits are the most important thing.
- You want an editor to be civil with people of other culture. That’s very good. I’m not from the English speaking parts of the world. That’s a very good point.
I also feel that editors whose first language is not English have disadvantages in RFA. It may be slightly harder for people whose first language is not English to express their views freely in RFA. I think you first language is English. If you were to express your views in a pressure situation in your second language, you may not be able to express yourself freely.
Your RFA criteria are strict. I think you should be a little flexible.
And I’m glad to know that you’ve liberal views. I’m a Humanist and I also have liberal views.

Hi Realist2, I was wondering how long this article had been under protection and if there was any chance if would come off in the future. I am sure its a vandalism magnet but was wondering. I didn't read through all the talk page history, sorry. I saw the copy right issue with the British paper. Good luck and thank you. --70.181.45.138 (talk) 13:10, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
- Woops, just saw your wikibreak notice, sorry. I hope you have a pleasant break. Cheers, --70.181.45.138 (talk) 13:12, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
Okay
I will add it, sorry for my lack of editing for the project so far i'm finding it hard to get my wikimind back. Gaogier 16:37, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

My RfA
Realist2, thank you for your contribution to the discussion at my recent RfA. I appreciate the helpful feedback, and that I would do well to work at bringing some articles to GA or FA if I'm going to be a more well-rounded editor. If ever you have any concerns about my actions, adminly or otherwise, don't hesitate to let me know. Best wishes, Paul Erik 17:24, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
- No problem, enjoy the mop :-) — Realist 17:27, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
