Wikipedia:Editor review/Coldplay Expert

Coldplay Expert
I'm called Coldplay Expert or CE/Coldplay for short. I started wikipedia in late July of 2009, and became instantly addicted to the site. I attempted to recive rollback a few days ago and it failed due to a previous block. (I just got rollback yesterday) Um..I am also A deticated vandal fighter and I have also made about 6 articles. I am whay I consider myself a semi-n00b since I know what im doing (sorta). One more thing. I dont know when this editor review thing ends. Is it like 7 days or so. (Im soo ignorant but I can also be very smart too)-- Coldplay   Expert  22:15, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

 Reviews 
 * You keep adding Spiderwebs and Panic to the unreleased Coldplay section. They're not, their names got changed to Don't Panic and Trouble.


 * Hi. While you're a relatively new user, your contributions have started to become pretty good. There's a bit controversy about all the socking accusations, but I think you've been cleared of that now, since it wasn't really you. And it'll pass. After your "experiences" with the hidden page deletions, I think you've become more reasonable and familiar with policy. As A Little Insignificant said, introducing your friends to Wikipedia, defending them when they make mistakes, and helping them to contribute better is afterwards, more than most people can say. And by declaring you were no longer going to violate WP:MYSPACE, you set a good example to them too, one which they've followed. Your interest in helping the project (the vandal-fighting stuff) shows you're on the right track, so keep doing what you're doing for a while, you're on the right track, Lord Spongefrog  (review)   (I am Czar of all Russias)  19:49, 9 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Humph! I come here late to find an evil frog has stolen my input from me! :( Ah well, anyway I can only repeat what I've said. You've learned a lot quickly on Wikipedia. I'm especially impressed with your ability to improve from your mistakes, and you're definitely headed in the right direction. Also, per Spongefrog (ha!) you seem to have become a role model for your friends on Wikipedia, who have also improved a lot since they started. I'm impressed. Nice job!

 * This editor has behaved recklessly and rudely. I attempted to remove a long list of random trivia from an article, which had been tagged as such for nearly two years. Apparently without even bothering to look at the content of my edit, this editor reverted it in 1 minute, accusing me of "unconstructive" "vandalism".  It was not, and this kind if uncivil knee-jerk editing is a detriment to Wikipedia.  Clearly he cannot be trusted with rollback privileges. - 99.24.251.105 (talk) 01:56, 15 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh sorry about that, you see I just started to use Huggle like 5 seconds before that edit so I accidentally reverted your edit and warned you. It was a mistake sorry :)-- Coldplay   Expert  02:09, 15 October 2009 (UTC)


 * I can really only echo what Spongefrog and A little insignificant (or is it Shady Leprechaun? ;)) have said. While relatively new, you have learned rather quickly. You have a tendency to use talk pages for chatting, but after having been told that, you've improved a bit. Out of 2362 edits, only 497 (21.04%) are automated, which is good. I'm a bit concerned that 43.53% of your edits are to user talk pages, but as I said earlier, you're improving in that regard. Your edit summary usage for major edits is only 76%, so I'd like you to be more diligent about using edit summaries. There's an option in your preferences to force an edit summary, might be something you'd like to turn on. :) Best, –Katerenka  ☆ 06:53, 23 October 2009 (UTC)


 * all right, time for my 2 cents. first off I beleave that your a great contributer to the encyclopedia.  You do a great job in the area of vandal fighting. You also made some good articals, and many useful edits to others.  I know that you want to be a admen some day (so do I, but I got a loooong way to go) so I suggest that you branch out into other areas of wikipedia, like MFD's.  I really can't say anything bad about you, you even tought me how to use wikipedia, and got me out of a few jams (did I mention how thankful I am).  All in all, I think that you are a good addition to the Wikipedian team, and you are an all around good guy. regards-- Orange  soda  kid  22:07, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

 Questions
 * Can you try to use a spellchecker before you save a message? You just have too many spelling mistakes. -- Menti  fisto  23:45, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Exactly what I thought...-- Giants 27  ( Contribs  |  WP:CFL ) 23:47, 12 November 2009 (UTC)


 * 1) What are your primary contributions to Wikipedia? Are there any about which you are particularly pleased? Why?
 * My primary contributions to Wikipedia are reverting vandalism and creating coldplay/Alaska/Ghost town related articles. (yeah I know its a wierd combination) I am very pleased with three of the articles that I created, Latin America Tour, Strawberry Swing and Mohave, Arizona.


 * 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 I have been in conflicts in the past such as MFD's for secret pages and other minor stuff. I will deal with it in the future by following WP:SNOW and also taking other editors opinions into account more that I do now.


 * 1) Could you elaborate on situation that led to the block you received on 18 September for "Abusing multiple accounts or IPs"? Question from
 * I would love to. (You have got to remember though that I was a very new person when this happened and if it were to occur again, I would go about things diffrently) Well it all started when my good friend (in real life) User:Orangesodakid got one of his MFD's up for deletion. While I was off line he made a WP:SOCK called User:Gurrenlaggan and vented his anger ar the MFD. Gurrenlaggan was blocked and the IP address of OSK was too. Thinking that he himself was blocked, OSK called me and told me he was blocked, (without telling me about Gurrenlaggan) So he gave me his password (Now I know that illegal) and told me to get on OSK. He then had to get for who personal reasons. I got on OSK and found out that it was not blocked. Rather it was his IP address that was. I then found the post by Gurrenlaggan. (Trust me I was very mad, haveing told him directly not to do that) I then tried to get on Gurrenlaggan (thinking that was the way to help him out) and asked for an unblock. Well MY IP address then got blocked. So I went to OSK's talk page and asked for someone to unblock my IP address. (while stateing it was really me who was on as OSK) Then an admin came along and thought that OSK was the puppetmaster of both Coldpaly Expert and Gurrenlaggan and directly blocked me and OSK. (by then I am thinking what the heck is going on?) Because of this whole feasco that was created by OSK, people have had doubts about me, first by thinking I was a sock of OSK then of Guitarherochristopher. In fact none of this was my fault and I was only trying to help a friend in need to the best of my noobish capabilities. I hope that this was sufficient to answer any and all questions about this. (Im tired of repeating ALL of this to eveyone who askes). Cheers.-- Coldplay   Expert  22:44, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
