Wikipedia:Editor review/Deagle AP

Deagle_AP
Hi, I joined Wikipedia in December but I've actually only been very active since April. I just want to see what I can improve, that's all. Deagle_AP (talk) 08:42, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

 Questions


 * 1) What are your primary contributions to Wikipedia? Are there any about which you are particularly pleased? Why?
 * My main contribution is combatting vandalism, using a variety of tools. I obtained rollback rights on a 250-300 edit count (which is surprising), and I am a registered user of the account creation interface.
 * 1) Have you been in any disputes 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 editing disputes with IP vandals (one dispute can be seen on my talk page), and I have been criticised for being too harsh at times against vandals. My user and talk pages have been vandalised several times, including one nasty case of image vandalism. People tend to discriminate against me also because of my age.

Review by PrincessofLlyr

I'm going to note a few things I noticed in a quick read of your talk page and looking at the sum of your contributions. Feel free to let me know if you want more detail.
 * Great job jumping in and fighting vandals! I'm always impressed with active new users as it took me many months to become active.
 * It is possible that you are on occasion too harsh with vandals, but I believe much of that has to do with a user's personality. Still, try to think about it, and very seldom is a final warning the right thing to place after one vandalous edit.
 * The way you handled the dispute with the IP on your talk was acceptable. Once again, your tone was slightly more impatient than I would have desired, but I believe that's personality, and you were well within policy.
 * Age discrimination is rampant on Wikipedia. One way to prevent that is not revealing your age. Another is acting with such maturity that editors go, "Oh wow! He's a teenager? I never would have thought that!" At some point you simply have to accept that people will do that and it is not your problem. I have found most editors to be accepting, no matter the age, if you are contributing productively.
 * I am impressed with your work on Fire Team Alpha. There are many times I have desired to express my admiration for faithful vandal-fighters.

Those are my observations. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to leave them here or on my talk. PrincessofLlyr royal court 01:30, 12 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Same with me- I also tweaked the page and added some stuff. Good work _ Tommy2010  [message] 23:30, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
