Wikipedia:Editor review/Dylan620

Dylan620
I've had an account here since September 2007, but only recently (around the first days of September 2008) did I become active. Unfortunately, although I am rapidly building in user and Wikipedia space edits, my mainspace edits are admittedly pathetic; I failed to reach the eligibility to vote in the ArbCom eections this year. Even so, there is one article that I am particularly pleased with (see below). Dylan 620  Contribs Sign! 03:01, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

 Reviews 


 * Hi Dylan, good to see that you're trying to improve upon your editing skills. So far, you've been doing very well in contributing. I don't have the time right now to do a full review, but for now, here's one comment. If there are any issues to speak of, it may be your lack of article contributions. For example, of your most recent 50 contributions, not one of them is in the mainspace. Sometimes it can be easy to get caught up talking with users or participating in project-space discussions, but remember what Wikipedia is&mdash;an encyclopedia.

 * Thank you, Julian. I guess I've gotten a little carried away in WikiGnoming, lurking, et cetera. -- Dylan 620  Contribs Sign! 01:15, 19 December 2008 (UTC)


 * You appear to be a good Wikipedian, and I have no issues with you, per se. The only thing is, as Julian stated above, is your low mainspace count. I suggest picking a project you know a lot about, and focusing on it. This and this recent edits were very good, just don't overuse the user and user talk spaces. Otherwise, keep up the good work!

 * I have hopes of writing a lot of tropical cyclone season timelines (and hopefully getting all or most of them featured), but I don't feel comfortable moving on from Timeline of the 2001 Atlantic hurricane season until it's A-Class, and I'm currently lacking sufficient reviews to upgrade it to such a level. -- Dylan 620  Contribs Sign! 21:15, 20 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi Dylan, you seem like a fairly good user who is really excited about Wikipedia. However, I have a couple concerns.  Having an 8 percent mainspace count is not a good thing.  That's going to need to go way up, as are the 40% edits in userspace.  I do like your enthusiasm (it reminds me of young me a little ^_^) but you're going to have to start editing the mainspace more.  That said, I hope to see you around the Wiki :)  Sam  Blab 16:34, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * You're also going through the same thing I was going through this summer, with RMHED's comment at RFA. Some people just are against kids on Wikipedia, and you're going to need to ignore it.  It works really well for me :)  Sam  Blab 16:36, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

 Questions


 * 1) Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * I am most proud of my early efforts to improve Rocko's Modern Life to GA status, as well as my creation of the Timeline of the 2001 Atlantic hurricane season (yes, I take an interest in tropical cyclones). I am also pleased with my efforts in adopting before I learned that he was yet another sock puppet of.
 * 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'll have to answer this in the morning. -- Dylan 620  Contribs Sign! 03:08, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Alright, I can answer this now. I became very angry when called my best piece of work ugly here. I then roared "fuck this" in public at the FLC; a moment that still embarrasses me to this very day. Also,  frustrated me with this. I fear that I may be exemplifying incivility in this cases; this is an issue I am trying to fix. -- Dylan  620  Contribs Sign! 11:06, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
