Wikipedia:Editor review/AllynJ

AllynJ
Hi there. I've been around for a while now but haven't gotten around to doing an editor review yet, and am just looking for any feedback as to my editing. For the record, I do plan on trying to become an admin at some point in the future, but not any time soon - especially considering my recent activity (or lack thereof). Thanks!

 Reviews 


 * Honestly, I think you're doing a great job as an editor. A lot of your contributions have been to lists, which is quite different than pushing through articles, but nonetheless important. Have you given back to the community at all, by way of reviewing articles, adopting users, etc.? These types of activities will perpetuate your knowledge and give you a unique vantage point on Wikipedia. Keep up the good work! --Eustress (talk) 23:56, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

 Questions


 * 1) Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * My only GA to date is Ryan Grant, which was a challenge as I wrote it just a few months after I started getting interested in the NFL, which was mostly my reason for doing it. I'm not a prolific article writer, mostly because I'm not a great writer of prose, but I try my best. My other major contributions include 2007 Cricket World Cup warm-up matches, List of African XI ODI cricketers and List of Asian XI ODI cricketers. I've also been heavily involved in new-page patrol, both recently and when I was more active several months ago.
 * 1) 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?
 * I've had a few disputes, the most heated being at MLB 07: The Show. I wasn't involved in the article and spotted it contained a huge section of original research. Being bold, I removed it, had the original author of it revert me, at which point we discussed it at the talk page - all very civil. Then another editor got involved, started to become rather uncivil and reverting. I got a third opinion, asked an admin (now 'crat) I'd been in contact with before (User:The Rambling Man), who assured me I was doing things the right way, and ultimately another user (User:Sillyfolkboy) stepped in with a compromise that both users were happy with. I don't feel I got too heated at any point - it's very rare things get under my skin, and I feel this helps in contentious areas of editing. AllynJ (talk | contribs) 05:15, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
