Wikipedia:Editor review/BuickCenturyDriver

BuickCenturyDriver
A few days ago, I decided to nominate myself for RFA in hopes of being able to take my experiance on Wikipedia to the next level. I have over 3 years and 5500 edits, so I hoped that my 3 years of editing would be reason to gain some positive feedback. Unfortunately, the request failed miserably when users cited my failure to answer a couple of questions correctly. One was about blocking and the other was what I thought of an "Ignore All Rules" essay. Still, I plan to nominate myself again within the next few months but in the meantime I would like to know whast other editors think of my contributions. –BuickCenturyDriver 13:09, 13 November 2010 (UTC) –BuickCenturyDriver 13:09, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

 Questions


 * 1) What are your primary contributions to Wikipedia? Are there any about which you are particularly pleased? Why?
 * I primarily contribute to baseball articles. My favorite baseball article is the "1978 American League East tie-breaker game".  I also contributed to the "1998 National League Wild Card tie-breaker game", and was credited for making it a good article despite the fact I had just 8 edits to the article.  I'd have to assume the credit was because I introduced the article and it was greatly improved upon.  I also created the IPSock template, used by editors to track suspicious IP addresses that might belong to a blocked editors.  The template is widely used and has been protected.
 * 1) Have you been in editing disputes 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? If you have never been in an editing dispute, explain how you would respond to one.
 * I haven't had any disputes as far as articles are concerned. However, I was involved in an incident that got me accused of stealing passwords back in May of 2007.  After a few days, it was determined I was not the person responsible so the block was lifted and I was cleared of any wrongdoing.  The experiance, though, was harrowing and something I would like to forget.  Since then I've not had any problems or disputes.

 Reviews 
 * Hi. I looked over a few of your articles, some on baseball and some on Jewish history. Both seemed to be written more for specialists in the fields than for the general public who don't know too much about the topics.  You are making a positive contribution but since you asked for advice I'd say focus more on bigger topics that will be of interest to more readers and maybe write some about other things.  Of course I only saw a small sample of your work here.Borock (talk) 07:00, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
