Wikipedia:Editor review/1234r00t (2)

1234r00t
Hello, I had one of these a while ago and decided it was time for a new one. I think I'm going to start a tradition of having one of these every month or so. I'm a fairly impressive user by the amount of contributions I have in a fairly short amount of time.  Mr. R00t   Talk  01:08, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

 Questions


 * 1) What are your primary contributions to Wikipedia? Are there any about which you are particularly pleased? Why?
 * My primary contribs' have been in the back areas of Wikipedia. I work at WP:UAA, sometimes at WP:AIV wherever there's any pile-up. I also help out on #wikipedia-en-help and am (fairly) active in the account creation process. I'm fairly pleased with the article I got to ITN. I've also done a little GA reviewing
 * 1) 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?
 * No. I haven't.
 * No. I haven't.

 Reviews 


 * Review by VictorianMutant:
 * Civility towards the community: Doesn't appear to be any major problems with civility...
 * Article contributions: IMO, this is an area you can improve on. The most edits you've made to any single article is 12. My advice is to find an article which looks crappy in an area which interests you and make it your goal to make that article as good as it can possibly be.
 * Edit count analysis: This graph shows only 22% of your articles are to article space. You should strive to get that number up to 50%. Yes, vandal fighting is important and reporting improper user names is definitely important, but you should try to make the bulk of your edits be to article space.
 * RfA-worthiness: Forget about being an admin right now...I know you want the golden mop and bucket(I know because you signed up for admin coaching 4 days after starting your account and self-nomed yourself a mere week later), but the more you "posture" for the flags- the more people are going to be suspicious of your motives.
 * Final thoughts: The best advice I can give you is this: you've done a sh!tload of edits as a vandal fighter- you don't have to prove yourself in that area anymore. No one can say you aren't committed to stopping vandalism or the "back" areas of the 'pedia. Now it's time to prove yourself in article space. Make your next 1000 edits all article contributions. When I mean all I mean don't edit your user page, stay away from vandal fighting, and stay away from Project namespace(of course if someone leaves a message on your talk page, by all means reply). Just make contributions to articles (or as suggested above- make an article your own masterpiece on wikipedia). Get an article or two up to GA status or even FA status and you'll earn the trust of the community should you try for another RfA. You've done great work on Wikipedia, you just need to broaden your contribution and then the sky's the limit. Thanks, VictorianMutant (talk)
