Wikipedia:Editor review/Soham
Soham (talk · contribs · count) Well I started editing 9 months back and have come a long way since then. I started with editing on Bollywood film articles, those which I had a connect with or liked. When I started I had good grasp of only 1 good policy of WP:VANDALISM so I started with vandalism fighting. Soham (talk) 14:32, 22 December 2013 (UTC)
Questions
- What are your primary contributions to Wikipedia? Are there any about which you are particularly pleased? Why?
- As I've said earlier I started with fighting vandalism so I did with WP:TW and learnt on the way with the help of Edit summaries like WP:RS or WP:SPAM. While fighting vandalism the most I came across lots WP:PROMOTION of wannabe music reviewers, film critics, info-tainment sites primarily because Bollywood film receive huge attention and get frequently listed on WP:5000. I started eliminating these with edit summaries like WP:SPAM, WP:ELNO, unreliable source, WP:SOAP, WP:NOTPROMOTION and the likes. I strictly maintain WP:NPOV regarding BO figures where the only WP:RS is boxofficeindia.com in face huge fanboyship. Midway sometime I started file upload patrolling and have fair knowledge which are copy-vios and which are not. Also I am a big-time soundtrack contributor if one sees my user page with a section titled soundtrack contribs. I brought the comprehensiveness seen only in FA's or GA's with chronology of not one but all the composers along with individual composers and writers in the tracklisting section, with use of refs from iTunes India for release dates along with soundtrack covers but have stopped after WP:MOSFILM#Soundtrack ruled it out. Then after getting good grasp of the most of the policies I started creating articles, the first being O Heeriye followed by Tooh (song), Malang (song), Blue Eyes (Honey Singh song) of the first three I managed DYK's along with Ashchorjyo Prodeep and Boss (2013 Hindi film) which I am not the creator of. I also do content addition with primary examples being Once Upon Ay Time In Mumbai Dobaara!, Krrish 3, Dhoom 3 etc. I also am proud of keeping Wikipedia a place with zero tolerance for promotion of sites including entertainment.sandhira, Bollywoodmdb.com, download full mp3, film catch trailer and what not! Above all I would categorise myself as a Spam fighter.
- Have you been in editing disputes 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? If you have never been in an editing dispute, explain how you would respond to one.
- No I have never been any dispute although I have engaged in discussions all the times I kept my real-life hothead really surprisingly calm and collected. I have always maintained a record of EW0 or Zero-edit war and want to keep it all through. One time I came very close to be in a edit war with an user called Film Fan over posters, here though.
- What do you want to get out of this editor review? Are you thinking of running for adminship? Would you like feedback on a specific area of your editing? Or would you just like a general review of your edits?
- I just want to be better at doing what I am doing for the past 9 months, contributing selflessly to wikipedia.
