Questions

1. What are your primary contributions to Wikipedia? Are there any about which you are particularly pleased? Why?

   My primary areas i contribute to are geography articles around the United Kingdom and general transport articles. Whilst rail is my main focus i am interested in other areas. I am pleased generally with most of my work. I enjoy the collaboration with other people in the variuos proects i have been doing and am currently editor of the London Transport metro and one of the key people, but not the only one, in the Motto of the Day project. I also enjoy intereacting with other people as usual. There is no particular piece that stands out. Projects i contribute to include WP:UKRAIL, WP:LT, WP:LONDON, WP:UKGEO, WP:UKW...

3. Have you been in any disputes 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 have had minor disputes with people which we have discussed and came to reasonable conclusions. I don't think there have been any which have cauised stress and i generally get on with people.

5. How often do you fight vandalism? At first glance, you don't seem to have made a lot of vandal-fighting contributions lately.

   Note: Question added by Kayau at 04:18, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

   I'm not really a vandal fighter although whenever i do see it and check it out, most times i rollback after making sure but things are generally done by other people. I'm not RCP either. Thank you for the question. Simply south (talk) 13:58, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Reviews

• Hi Simply south, sorry for the delay in getting a review for you - we're slowly catching up with the backlog! On to my review...

• User conduct

• Edit summaries: You generally use these (92% of your last 150 major edits to articles had them) - they are a useful way for people watching the article to see what's going on.
• Constructive comments on talk pages: All the comments that I looked at were with the aim of improving the article/encyclopedia, and are constructive.
• Attitude towards others: You seem to have a helpful attitude towards others, and I didn't see any negatives in the quick look that I took

• Edits

• Automated Edits: 6 Twinkle edits (0.03% of all your edits) - you like doing it by hand - I like that! For me, the lack of vandal-fighting isn't a problem: not everyone needs to do it (unless they come across something when they are working on an article).

• • I don't have any tools installed other than being a rollbacker.

• Article vs non-article: just over a third of all your edits are to articles (36.94%), with a further 13% to article talk pages, 14% to user talk pages and about 17% to "Wikipedia:" space (a lot of MOTD and WP London Transport edits). A nice spread

• Summary

• I can't see any problems! You are working towards creating a more accurate encyclopedia, and are constructive in your approach. -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 13:50, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
• Thanks for the brief review. I will await others. Simply south (talk) 13:58, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
