Wikipedia:Editor review/Ardo191

User:Ardo191
I don't exactly have alot of edits but I'm bringing it up to learn and become more Wiki-Smart. I'd like to see where I am in the terms of admins and make sure that I'm not doing things improperly, or just unaware of what I could to do help. I'd like this review just for a reference point, as I might run for sysop in mid/late 2007 if I feel I'm ready.

 * Please spend more time browsing LoPbN-tree pages before creating any more new ones. --Jerzy•t 15:26, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I have to reiterate my earlier point that you have done a number of quick-deletions without regard to whether the article in question actually qualified. While I understand that this is in an effort to up your edit-count without having to do research and add to extant articles, I think you need to a) re-examine the policies of speedy deletion, and b) focus on the goal of the project, which is to make a good encyclopedia, rather than focusing overmuch on the number of edits you can get in.  I have seen no less than four speedy-deletions from you, put on articles that were merely seconds old, and none of them were accurately applied.  For instance, you put a 'non-notable' note on the Alexander Litvinenko article, when a simple news search would have shown his name appearing somewhere on virtually every news source at the time.  I think you should stop trying to beef up your edit count with this kind of edit, because it's both disingenuous to a certain degree, and it dissuades and annoys new users who want only to contribute to the project, and are immediately forced to justify their edits to you - something that is not appropriate.  There are plenty of articles that are blatant candidates for speedy deletion, but you seem to have simply slapped the tag any old where on new articles, and hope that it will resolve itself through the work of other editors who are watching, if it doesn't deserve to be deleted in that way.  This is not the way it is supposed to work.  Tuviya 02:56, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
 * In light of the above comment, I see this edit: as rather ironic.  In any case, I don't feel it's appropriate to attack people doing Newpage patrol for tagging inappropriate, newly created articles too quickly. It might help, if you're tagging pages for deletion yourself, to understand that the user you're attacking is not an admin and hasn't deleted anything. Geoffrey Spear 20:55, 18 December 2006 (UTC)


 * As far as I can tell, Jimfbleak is an admin, and he has a vast deletion log. Unless I'm mistaken.. Ard0 00:00, 19 December 2006 (UTC) | I just read your comment above, and It's right, I guess I was a bit offended that a page I created got blatantly deleted within 30 secs of creation. Tagging can be contested, but I didn't even have a chance to save my work, revise and de-biast, or anything. This is just a personal view, but admins should partially refrain from deleting articles off the bat, and mark them for deletion, and instead of deleting, patrol the list of pages marked for speedy. Then the author has time to protest the deletion or make changes. Ard0 00:31, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Ok, I retract that comment. Still, it helps to remain WP:CIVIL, especially when dealing with frustrating people. Geoffrey Spear 04:16, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Ok, I'll read that in... about 6 hours. Thanks, Ard0 18:46, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

 Questions


 * 1) Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * ''I have only really created one page, being calgary science school. After some long time on Wiki, the CSS article is coming along quite nicely, and I update it every once in a while. I tend to leave the creation to other people, but If I think of something that isn't in Wiki, I'll be sure to post the page.


 * I recently also created Maple Skate, a company that manufactures most of the speed skates my friends and I at the Oval use. Ard0 06:28, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

 
 * 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 have, and I worked it out. See my talk page for comments by Crzrussian. Before I go crazy on everyone, I'd try to talk to the user, and see if what I did was really wrong. If so, I'd try to mutually correct the mistake with the user who warned me. Also, there was some edit wars with vandals to the page Calgary Science School, and I had the IP, and a few users blocked, as well as the page locked from editing. I try to deal with conflicts in a way that's at the best of my knowledge. Being only here for 8 months, 2-3 active months, I don't know tonnes about Wiki, and hope to learn more.
