Wikipedia:Editor review/Barek

Barek
I have roughly 20,000 edits (not using any scripts) and have had a Wikipedia account for over three years, being active in the community for around two years. I was recently asked on my talk page if I would consider accepting an RfA nomination. I'm honored by the suggestion, but have declined for now as I want to work on getting some DYK/FA/GA's under my belt before going through that process. While working on that, I wanted to request a WP:ER to see what input I might receive on other areas of my editing behavior that I should work on improving, or areas where the community feels I may currently be lacking. - Barek (talk • contribs) - 19:16, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

 Reviews 


 * Hey Barek - I've had a look over your contributions, and to say the least I'm quite impressed. You've got a lot of experience under your belt, and you're a definite candidate for adminship. I'm also impressed by your collection of barnstars - I've yet to receive one! And you surely can't shake a stick at 20k+ edits. I'm sorry I don't have more to say, but I see no issues. Keep up the good work! [Belinrahs|talktome⁄ ididit] 15:00, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

 Questions


 * 1) What are your primary contributions to Wikipedia? Are there any about which you are particularly pleased? Why?
 * My primary behavior on Wikipedia is as a WikiGnome, as well as several maintenance areas of Wikipedia such as WP:COIN, WP:ANI, WP:AIV, and WP:WPSPAM. My primary article work is in the area of making incremental small improvements to a large number of articles.  I do have articles which I've started and/or collaborated on, some of these are Marquette Harbor Light, Vista class cruise ship, and Lewis lamp.  I've also worked on a handful of templates and uploaded several images (both here and on Commons) that are in use on Wikipedia articles.
 * 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 been in editing disputes periodically - I would be surprised if someone with my number of edits hadn't been in at least one. The first time it happened, I found it stressful as real-world stress was building up at the same time - I dealt with it by backing away from the wiki for a while and letting the community work out everything on its own.  Since then, I haven't fealt very stressed by disputes.  The disputes are on the content and not something I take personally.  If someone tries to make it personal, I generally ignore it or take it to WP:NPA if it escalates to that level.  I archive my talk page discussions, so it's pretty easy to review my past interactions with other editors.
