Wikipedia:Editor review/Danaman5

I have just finished getting an article promoted to FA, and now I am wondering where to go from here, and which areas I need improvement in. Danaman5 21:53, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

 Reviews 

In conflicts instead of staying away from those which you are in, instead of going away all the time, you should try to be civil and discuss it through until a compromise can be reached. But if are feeling stressed then a break may be okay.

You seem relatively active since February last year and with over 3000 edits. Looking at these, you have a broad range in the Wikipedia type edits which is good. There seems to be a good amount of discussion. Your edit summary usage is promising as well.

I would suggest that you increase your discussion with other users and getting to know templating better as this is seen as an important area in Wikipedia.

 * Hey, thanks for the review. I will definitely look into templating.--Danaman5 17:01, 4 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Experienced editor, and is proven to be a qualified contributor. As mentioned above, the only thing you might have to work on is to discuss more while editing. (AQu01rius &#149; Talk) 04:22, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

I think you are one of the best things to happen to WPCHINA. I find you easy to work with (speaking as a person who is very hard to work with, so I should know).

I'm struggling to find something to criticize so that I will not be seen as fawning. I would echo the comments of the reviewer above in encouraging you not to simply avoid conflict but occasionally to discuss and defend your opinion.

Your work in single-handedly bringing Beijing opera to FA from a mere stub was excellent and there is nothing wrong with that, but I think one of the best things about Wikipedia is the opportunity to work with other people. With an FA under your belt I would think that most of the current FA candidates would love to have your help and feedback. Note that it's not necessary for you to deal with conflict here; if one contributor doesn't work well with you, there are dozens of other FAC's to choose from.

Something you may not have considered is that, although you may wish to avoid engaging in conflict yourself, you could be very helpful in mediating conflicts between other users, since you would naturally be able to avoid offending either side.

I would also personally ask for your help in two of my projects, the never-ending naming conventions debate and cleaning up China-related Categories. Ask on my talk page for details.

And, whatever happened to this? I was interested in seeing more.

 Questions


 * 1) Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * I just finished bringing Beijing opera to featured article status, and I made contributions to Paper Mario and Ten-pin bowling. I have also reviewed quite a few articles for WP:CHINA.
 * 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?
 * I have made a few stupid mistakes over time. I once moved the page Unequal Treaties without seeking consensus, but moved it back quickly after realizing my mistake.  I have mostly stayed out of serious editing conflicts.  If anything is bothering me, I just take a break.
