First contribution (actually maybe second or third article created) but who's counting?[edit]

This is my first essay to Wikipedia. I would like to expound this essay with other editors. I will attempt not to be its owner.

All critiques will be greatly appreciated. Ronbo76 03:51, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Need to do copyedit on this soon. Essays calm me down. Ronbo76 15:22, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Calming down is a great improvement point. Maybe a gentle suggestion to have a sign that causes an editor to laugh, breathe, take a break, etc should be added. Ronbo76 15:51, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Initial thought on why this essay was created[edit]

I have noted with a couple of other editors that writing or participating in essays has become a very release for them and me. I intend to polish this essay with other Wikipedian editors' help especially in those times when I sense an edit war flaming within me; ergo, following the essay's guidelines.

Moved[edit]

Since "Wikipedia:ROFL" sounds a bit too much like a shortcut title, I've moved it to "Wikipedia:Roll on the floor and laugh", so it sounds more like an essay title (Like Wikipedia:Don't stuff beans up your nose). --AAA! (AAAA) 03:51, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Works for me. Thanks for the edits. I like working on this essay when the edit demon flares up within me. Soothes me to the soul! Ronbo76 16:11, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
