Abyssal_leviathin (talk · contribs) I don't really have a concrete reason for asking for an editor review. I just stumbled on it, and thought it might be helpful to get one. So, um, have at me. Abyssal leviathin (talk) 18:26, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
Reviews
- Zoot Review - Well, I thoguht I'd give you a review and all I can say is: impressive mainspace record AbLe! You've really contributed to the site and I hope you'll continue to do so. Doing dutiful work such as adding listings to lists and the like can often be a tiring and thankless job, but you're doing a great job. If you were looking to improve on a few areas though (Especially if you were one day looking for adminship) I've got a few pointers that you can go by on your Wiki-walk of improvement. Although your mainspace (Article) edits are outstanding, you are very very very low on all wikipedia namespace edits (11 I believe) and if you ever want to become an admin (Not saying you do) you need to work on that. It's sometimes just as boring as list making, but I'd suggest taking part in some XfDs, some Wikiproject discussions (I believe you've already visited the project I contribute to WP:DINO), some RfA and FAC discussions and some collaborations. The community portal is a great way to start, even if it's only to look up article requests - but at least you're becoming familiar with the page as you do so. I'd also suggest getting out there - post on some talk pages or user talk pages and get to know your fellow editor. Friendships on here are good to have; whether it's for a collaboration partner, some to copyedit your article or to just ask for help, they're good to have. As it stands, the reason why you say you've had no arguments on here is because you've kept yourself rather sheltered; once you get out there you'll soon discover disputes and turmoil. It's not for everyone, but if you ever want to be an admin or to reach out to others on here, it's just funny to hear someone say they do not intend to ever have a conflict on here. Not saying you do want to become an admin, but admins do need to have conflict resolving skills. Other than those few pointers, all I can say is get an FA or FL, keep your edit summary up so others can keep track of your edits on articles and just continue with the great work which you're doing. Don't worry, you're not doing anything wrong and in fact, are doing a great job. It's just that if you want other things than article writing, those are what will help get you there. Sorry for dribbling on - I'm done. :) Have a Merry Christmas and a nice day. Cheers, Spawn Man Review Me! 07:57, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Questions
- Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
- I dunno, I suppose I'm proud of the lists I've made. Some terribly nerdy person may find use and/or enjoyment from the work I've done adding information from Jack Sepkoski's database of marine fossil genera, and when that happens I will feel warm and fussy on the inside. :)
- 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 haven't really been involved in any conflicts worth naming, nor do I intend to ever do so.
