Bob the Wikipedian
I am simply curious as to other editors' opinions on my editing habits/style. Bob the Wikipedian (talk) 22:44, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

 Reviews 


 * One small note, next time, replace all "Username"s with your username next time you do or want a review.
 * Nice answer to the questions there. It is good to see you are part of a WikiProject as collaborations between editors is encouraged and very useful if you need to discuss things with people with similar interests.


 * A quickish one. Do not spend so much time on your userspace i would advise (577 is a lot!). Other areas which should be gone into more are like XFDs which you have hardly participated or do more template which is seen by some as an essential, or at least pretty useful, skill.


 * Good balance of edits. Although on this, you should have most of the revisions you do however major or minor and wherever it is, with an edit summary telling other users what you are doing (on Wikipedia that is). Hope this quickie was helpful. Simply south (talk) 09:18, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

 Questions


 * 1) Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * I think it's pretty cool that I made it through the entire list of mammal articles without images at WP:TOL. For each entry, I performed a Live image search and added a US-federal-government-sourced image where I could find one.  On top of that, every single entry with an image was removed from the list.  It took 150 revisions to the list, and a large number of uploads (see my image gallery) to accomplish this, and more than 25.8 kilobytes of the list (277 entries) were removed.  My next big project (which I'm working on, but taking a break today, is the plants without images list. Bob the Wikipedian (talk) 23:11, 21 May 2008 (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?
 * Yes. Quite recently, actually, I was in a dispute with someone over the fact that two articles (one a redirect to a different article) had the same title and no form of disambiguation or links to the other article at all.  I decided after a couple days that it really wasn't worth the fuss, since both titles were such trivial articles, so I just quietly backed out.  My attempts to disambiguate the articles were reverted, but there are more important articles to tackle.
 * I have had other disputes, but each remained civilized and was happily resolved, and someone (often myself) learned from them.
 * In the future? Gee...that's hard to make judgments, since my conflict-resolution style hasn't changed at all since I started editing.  I usually do some of my own research to back up my statements in a conflict, and also try to get an opinion from a senior editor. Bob the Wikipedian (talk) 23:11, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
