Reviews

You've been doing quite well, I'm particularly impressed with the high amount of contributions to the article mainspace. Repetitive tasks indicate that you are patient and perfectionist. You're a fine editor, but if you would like to become an administrator I suggest that you start getting involved in admin-oriented tasks. These include countervandalism and XfD. Anyway you're doing a good job. Best regards.--Hús ö nd 19:01, 14 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there. Here is my review, hopefully you will find it useful.
- First of all, reviewing your last 2,500 edits I notice a lack of edit summary usage. Please, try to use them, as they save a lot of time for users both in reviewing your contributions to articles and in quickly finding out versions through a page history.
- So, you have had a problem in the past? Well, I have had so many I almost lost count. However, one thing I learned is that there are several types of users, some may get offended only with a personal attack, and others with insinuations. Thus, it is better to prevent any type of contact that may be considered aggressive, like sarcasm and irony.
- Just 60 user talk edits in 2500 is very low. It means you don't talk with others, either to ask or to answer inquiries. 250 article talk edits add 300 talk edits, a little over 12%. Apparently, this means you participate in discussions to improve articles, but maybe not enough.
- As you only have 223 edits in Wikipedia, Category and Template, it is clear you focus on the article namespace, working with them at an editor level. Out of those last 2500 edits, little over 2100 have been marked as minor, a strangely high amount. This makes me think you are mostly a wikignome, someone who likes to pounce articles, doing small corrections here and there before moving to the next one. Don't take offense, I am a wikignome myself!
In conclusion, you are doing pretty well as a wikignome. I suggest stopping in an article of a topic you like and that needs some improvement, and begin working on it until you make it achieve good article status. That should allow you to learn some more about the available style guides. Also, I suggest finding an article with several other active contributors, and working with them in order to polish the article to featured status. As your talk page has a lot of discussion and misunderstandings/complains about your behaviour, getting to know how others contribute, sharing time with them and trying to achieve a single goal between you all will help you improve your relationship with them. Remember, most people do what they do because they think it is right, and sometimes the best way to show them it is wrong is by spending time with them. Good luck! -- ReyBrujo 23:39, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Questions

Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
Answer

Comics articles because I get my info from the web and books.

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?
Answer

User:CovenantD thought I was attacking when I wrote down "What's with the hate?" when I was really just being sarcastic.

Also I just put in the little stuff. Brian Boru is awesome 02:19, 13 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
