Wikipedia:Editor review/Canadianshoper

Canadianshoper
Been here for a good while, but feeling like I haven't done much useful here. Any advice? Note: Most of my better work is in 2007. Canadianshoper 17:09, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

 Reviews 


 * You have been quite active in the past few months, and your contributions at a glance OK. However, many editors like to see a user who focuses mainly on the Wikipedia and main namespaces, not on the User namespace.  I see you have make >100 edits to your own userpage, and your userspace count is only about 50 edits lower that your mainspace.  I recommend that you focus more on the mainspace.  However, your overall contributions look thoughtful, and I think you'll make a fine editor, give a few months.  N o l 888 ( Talk )(Review me please) 19:40, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Many of my userspace edits are useless. I can't get into the habit of using the preview first, so I have one edit to do something, and one or two more to correct it! Also, I contribute to a wikicleanup project located in the cetor's userspace.Canadianshoper 22:13, 19 March 2007 (UTC)


 * The keyboard shortcut for preview is Alt-Shift-P. Just get in the habit of using that.  [[image:SFriendly.gif|19px]]   - The Transhumanist 19:31, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the tip! Do you know where the full shortcut list is? Canadianshoper 19:36, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Go to Community Portal and look at the top of the page. --TT —The preceding unsigned comment was added by The Transhumanist (talk • contribs) 20:04, 21 March 2007 (UTC).
 * I saw the link. Thecnical difficuly though, some shortcuts don't work! Someone help! Canadianshoper 19:39, 21 March 2007 (UTC) Modzilla Firefox works, but no IE! Canadianshoper 22:50, 21 March 2007 (UTC)


 * You may find the following pages of use in improving your work on the main namespace: How to copy-edit and Manual of style. -TT
 * Don't worry about taking on big projects. That will come in time as your ability improves.  It's okay to be a Wikignome, and Wikipedia needs lots of them!  The main help pages on wiki-markup are:  Cheatsheet, Guide to layout, Wikitext examples, and How to edit a page.  The last one is the most comprehensive.  -TT
 * Familiarize yourself with Wikipedia's 3 main support pages: Contents, Community Portal, and Help:Contents. All three are on the navigation menu on the sidebar on the left side of the screen (unless you've changed your skin).  Those 3 pages have a navigation bar at the top of the page which leads to all the main pages of that type of page.   My strongest advice is to become extremely familiar with all of the pages I just mentioned. --TT
 * There's a lesson at the Virtual classroom called Learning the ropes which you may find very useful. --TT
 * Thanks for all the tips! Canadianshoper 21:01, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

 Comments 
 * Overall, you're a pretty good editor! Please make it a habit to use the edit summary more often (looking at the your edit count, there's a lot of red...). Nonetheless, time and practice will make you a great editor! Keep it up! --Cremepuff222  ( talk,  review me! ) 23:42, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

 Questions


 * 1) Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * None really. I just do what I feel I can, and don't feel I do much good enough for me to mention here. 
 * 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, just a little. In those cases, I tried to leave. In most cases, nothing really happen, and I'm not bold enough to do anything causing conflicts.
 * 1) What are your greatest strengths as an editor to Wikipedia?   The Transhumanist 19:24, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) What areas do you think you need to improve upon the most? -TT
 * ''First, speed of editing and wiki-mark-up, which I stumble upon, and spend lots of time trying to create tables and such, then give up. Also, I don't have the nerves and ability to do big things. (Copyedit) Canadianshoper 19:30, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
