Wikipedia:Editor review/Belugaboy

Belugaboy
I have helped many articles and many idle projects make a comeback. I am always looking for feedback to become a better editor. Beluga boy  14:36, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

 Questions


 * 1) What are your primary contributions to Wikipedia? Are there any about which you are particularly pleased? Why?
 * I particularly help around animal WikiProjects and their scopes, and a few articles involving the Blackhawks and White Sox. I am also a reviewer.
 * 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?
 * I have been in a few disputes with some other editors back when I started in December. I was editing some pages when I saw that somebody thought I had made vandalism, even though every single edit I make is sworn to be in good faith. And we got into a whole big dispute over all of that. I dealt with it by taking a WikiBreak and coming back about three weeks later.

 Reviews 
 * I would suggest using edit summaries more often as the help people know what your edit is about having to see the edit diff. See this page for you usage summary. Generally people would like to see about 98% edit summary usage. Also, try to have more article edits but good job on Kayavak. Derild  49  21  ☼  14:34, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
 * As much as I agree, I can't take an unsigned post seriously... — m o n o   03:27, 21 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Hello Belugaboy. It looks to me as if you spend most of your time in the user (30%) and user talk spaces (26%). While this isn't necessarily bad, you might want to consider backing off a bit there and, as Derild said, contributing more to other areas of the encyclopedia. I would recommend contributing as many areas of Wikipedia as you can so you can find out what you like to do most; it also gives you experience.

 * Airplaneman, I think he may have excessive userspace edits the same reason I do: because 1) when I was a newbie I didn't know about moving so I copied the whole article to the mainspace; 2) because I didn't bother with requesting moves and copied the whole thing to the redirect; 3) I expand articles in my userspace.

 * Hi. I think it would be a very  good idea if you  were to  follow the advice given to you  by  Airplaneman. It's probably not  a very  good idea to suggest  adopting  other editors who already  have more experience than  you. Wikipedia is a very  serious project, it's not  quite the  same thing  as an Internet  forum; most  editors don't  make the creation  of their user page a first  priority - it's somthing  you  can  build on between times when doing  some good edits to  articles. Check out the topics that  interest you most and expand them, but  do  be sure to  read all the  rules and instructions first, and if you  get  stuck, don't  hesitate to  ask an  experienced editor for help (like someone who has 10,000 edits or more).--Kudpung (talk) 02:24, 19 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi there. User groups (like file mover, which you recently applied for and were declined) are not trophies. There is nothing to be gained for collecting all of them, and for the most part no one will ever really know, or care, about how many user groups or user rights you have access to. On the other hand, though, aggressively pursuing user groups, which is called 'hat collecting' by some on Wikipedia, is looked down upon, as it is taken as an indication that your priorities are not in the right place.
