Wikipedia:Editor review/Fæ

Fæ
After passing my 5k edits watermark I thought a bit of feedback might be useful to see where I'm going and perhaps set some targets for future contributions. Fæ (talk) 10:52, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

 Questions


 * 1) What are your primary contributions to Wikipedia? Are there any about which you are particularly pleased? Why?
 * 90+% of my contributions have been welcoming new users and helping news users having problems (such as conflicts of interest). This includes reporting new user name violations to UAA and some vandals to AIV. It's a bit gnomic, but I have enjoyed writing an iMacro script to help speedily find problematic new user names (such as offensive names and likely spam names) along with a bit of handy formatting of the log using my monobook JavaScript. I'm most pleased with being able to be the first to help identify and report a couple of instances of a repeat serial vandal (the prolific Zealking) and a couple of other sockpuppets. The rest has been a bit of citation improvement, copy-editing and adding a few photos to the commons.
 * 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?
 * Nobody has caused me much stress that I couldn't work out how to handle in a temperate way. A couple of vandals got abusive on my user talk page and I just let them get on with it until an admin intervened. A recent probable hoaxer tried to get me to accept an article speedy deletion but after I raised it for full AfD discussion instead, it seems likely that they were trying to bluff their way (see Yolanda Soares). If someone gets nasty I'd rather leave it for a day and see if someone else wants to sort it out before responding.

 * Thanks for welcoming me to Wikipedia! I feel part of a community I didn't realize existed. JohnJamesSmith0 (talk) 22:27, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I've seen you many times in Huggle, reverting vandals and welcoming newcomers to Wikipedia. I haven't been here too long, but I haven't seen you snap at a newbie or vandal, which, at times, can be very tempting. Nor have you snapped at me, so you must be a good person. ;) My only suggestion is, if you can, to start working on writing an article(s). Like I need to. :) Best wishes! -- Mithrandir∞  (Talk!) 16:36, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I like your attitude on #2, good answer there. Doc Quintana (talk) 22:51, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
 * So far, your contributions look really good. You've jumped right in and done a lot of work for a newbie. You always use edit summary, which is amazing. Really, the only thing I can say is more article work. The percentage of your edits to user talk is the same as all of your other edits combined. Which isn't necessarily bad, since you're welcoming and vandal-warning, but strong article work is good too. PrincessofLlyr  royal court 16:11, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
