Wikipedia:Editor review/Gears of War 2

Gears of War
I have been here for only about 4 months and already I have my first GA, a DYK?, over 7,000 edits and I have recently graduated from the adoption program. But now, I ready to take a huge step. I want to know if im ready to adopt a user of my own. Feel free to be as brutal as need be. Gears of War  2 01:26, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

 Reviews 


 * Given your penchant for being attracted to / attracting drama for drama's sake, no, I don't think you're ready to adopt users. See, for example, this exchange with Metros just a few hours ago.  That's a very strong argument against your instructing other newcomers about how Wikipedia works. &mdash; Lomn 01:44, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Given Shapiros' comments below, I'd like to clarify: this isn't about "communication skills". I think there's a deep misconception regarding how editors interact in a project-meaningful way. &mdash; Lomn 13:48, 7 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi, GOW. I think you are a very passionate user, and I really see that in the articles you've been working on. Unfortunately, the passion also goes against you; you tend to get caught up and lose your cool. Before you edit, consider your words, and be patient! Don't be easily angered by others or yourself. I suggest that you wait some more before going to adopt a newcomer.  bibliomaniac 1  5  02:25, 7 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi, Gears. Let's get this straight.  You're fine article writer.  You're a fine anti-vandal.  You are very, very very passionate about Wikipedia, perhaps too passionate.  That's why you have these issues with civility.
 * And, as Lomn said, you need a little work with your communication skills. So, wait a few months before adopting. Shapiros10  contact me My work  12:50, 7 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Hey Gears of War, it's just funny that your ER is Gears of War 2... :D enough with the jokes... you're awesome - and that's that.  :D   - Jameson L. Tai   talk  ♦  guestbook  ♦  contribs  06:59, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

 Questions


 * 1) Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * I'm very very proud of Guitar Hero: Aerosmith because I helped premote it after just a few months of experience. Also I proud of my work on Grey Griffins. It's not perfect, but put lots of work into it. Also I'm proud of my fighting aganst vandalism. I'm am also proud of my very dedicaated work I do in WP:VG.
 * 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?
 * Only one major conflict. About two-3 months ago, I asked for help with simple homework at WT:VG. There, mis-took a comment and cursed out a user. We fought for a long time(2-3 hours) and then I finally gave him his own personal apology and then gave one to the user. Oh yes, but how can I forget about the whole cabal thing. Its along story so I'll cut it short and say me and some other users acted very imaturely.
