RyRy5 ( talk · contribs) Hello. I am RyRy5. My main goal here is to help create and protect Wikipedia. Well, editing here at wikipedia is a hobby for me, not a job. I am mostly active all week, but not as much on weekdays. I am a person who does not get frustrated and always has a cool head.
I have recently had an editor review, but I believe I have changed since then. That is why I am doing this again and to see how much more I can improve. I have been reviewed in a way before but not at Editor review. You can visit here, here , here, here, here , and here to see other positive opinions about me. I will later post other negative diffs (diffs that I have had some problems in my editing) in a while as I have to dig some up. RyRy5 ( talk) 22:22, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Comments from iMatthew My only concern that other users have addressed before is the lack of mainspace edits and the overload of userspace. I'm sure you know by now, that Wikipedia is not a MySpace, rather an encyclopedia. You're writing it getting better. I saw the way it was a little while ago, when you were recieving quite a bit of criticism from other users concerning your writing, but it's getting better! iMat thew 20 08 10:46, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
You are very enthusiastic about Wikipedia. Beware of Wikipediholism. Overall, you need more mainspace edits, but recently, you've really improved. You've gotten a DYK (something I have yet to achieve), and you've nominated and improved other articles. You are receiving a lot of critism from other editors (mostly admins, some of which believe that you a problematic little kid), but you are learning from that, and not dropping the grapes from the vine. You have a lot to learn, though. I haven't yet seen you canvass, which is a very good thing. You get things done, and users will notice that, and if you don't know how to do it, you find out, and get right to it. Back to the little kid thing... since I first met you, you have matured progressively. Some agists don't agree with me. I noticed the WP:AN (I believe it was) post about your rollback use. As Steve Crossin noted, you are having trouble identifying vandalism. Perhaps a skim through WP:VANDALISM would help, but I'm sure you've done that. Not "just chatting" with users will help your edit counts (I found that out the hard way), furthermore... but don't continue the editcountitis. I know you participate at SP:RC and WP:AFD, but perhaps you should widen your edit range. If you find a red link that needs to be filled, and you can find a suitable citation, you shouldn't stand around and wait for the grass to grow... you should create it. Be bold. Some pages really need creating, due to minor current events. Some pages will be deleted, but only if they aren't notable. I'm sure you can differentiate between the notable and non-notable. You get along with people very well. Continue to do so, and you will go far. Ryan, don't ever let anyone stuff you in a coffin and make you push up daisies unless you want to. Also, never loose your cool or mind. Good luck, live long and proper... Basketball110 My story/ Tell me yours 03:24, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
While I can't really say anything that someone here hasn't already said, I can offer a few tips while helped get started off.
Hmm, my only concern is your recent rollback saga. Other than that, keep up with the good work. Just be careful with the rollback button. RC-0722 247.5/ 1 04:24, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
Hey there, thanks for asking for comments. Look, the biggest thing I'd like to suggest is that you get rid of all the edit counting userboxes on your userpage, and stop clicking on edit count links. See how life works if you can completely ignore your edit count. It's a really interesting experience.
Another suggestion is to simplify things. If I recall, you at some stage requested bot permissions, and have been doing all sorts of bot stuff (as have some of your friends)...I'd suggest that if you really need a bot, go to BOTREQ. Reason for this suggestion is that some of you guys don't see to be that great at bot stuff, and when some people are already frustrated by you (ref. your block log) these mistakes won't really help things.
To positives, I certainly haven't been hearing your name as often, which is good. It means you're at ANI less! :) I'd suggest you keep up the DYK work, you're a lot better at it than me, it seems. Before you (or any of your friends, since you're one of the more mature ones there) consider going for a GA, please ask someone more experienced to take a look first (I'm happy to; so are these guys), simply because there were a few issues a while back with some GA stuff there. But keep up the article work, your improvement is great!
Hope this helps. Cheers, dihydrogen monoxide ( H2O) 05:40, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
I've seen you around, and you have done pretty good work so far. You have made great contributions to the Boston Red Sox Wikiprojcet, and I like the work with DYK. I'd also consider attempting a GA or FA article, or even an FL. The only thing that I'm fairly concerned with is the rollback incidents, so I would adivse you to learn the policy of that better and then try again. Hopefully, you will get to RFA by next winter or so, and I would be glad to nominate you then if you improve on the points made. Otherwise keep up the good work!

The thing that pops out to me at the moment is a comment I remember you making to Keeper about not using Rollback alot. Going through your contribs, however, you appear to be using it in a moderate amount. Don't be afraid to be bold in the way you edit. I would reccomend against an RFA, because of recent problems with rollback, etc. You should probably wait 3 months or more before accepting a nomination. This would show your maturity to !voters along with patience. Good luck, Malinaccier Public ( talk) 12:33, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
