Wikipedia:Editor review/Hmrox
Hmrox (talk · contribs) I want to help out this encyclopedia by doing something other than just constantly reverting vandalism all the time. It would be nice to be recognized by other editors in this community. As such, I would eventually like to become an administrator one day sometime in the future. The first time I submitted an application, I was only 12 years old at the time with horrible grammar, and no throrough understanding of how Wikipedia worked. However, to become an admin one would need to be recognized as a dedicated editor to this project with significant achievements. Can someone offer me advice on how to improve my skills beside tirelessly reverting vandalism? Hmrox (talk) 13:32, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
Reviews
- Well, you're a more-or-less solid contributor when it comes to vandalism. I'm not an expert here, so forgive my possibly bad review. If your goal is to become an administrator, it would to you good to get invloved in some of the WP: prefixed work, like commenting on WP:AfDs and WP:RfAs, or some contibutions at WP:ANI or something. You don't need to be an admin there (I think), if you want to help out in discussions there you can. WP:Cleanup has some stuff you can do if you want to work on articles, but as for writing your own articles, I don't have any advice there really. You could always expand a stub somewhere. Or work on a GA/FA, maybe in collaboration with a user who is more experienced in that area.

Questions
- Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
- The only thing worth mentioning is that I revert tons of vandalism on regular basis. If the vandalism gets out of hand, I simply report at the
- 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?
- The only conflicts are persistent vandals who will not stop after a final warning. I just report them if they keep causing trouble so that an admin can deal with the vandal.
- What advantages / disadvantages do you see for an editor in the use of an automated script, such as HUGGLE or Twinkle?♠ B.s.n. ♥R.N.contribs 10:56, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
