 Questions


 * 1) What are your primary contributions to Wikipedia? Are there any about which you are particularly pleased? Why?
 * As ive said ive only been on here a few months and i've already had a big impact and ive been interacting well with many other users + admins, paticulary since i am relatively young yet i already have an immense knowledge of History + Politics. Ive already created several articles with images If you look on my user page you'll see the articles ive made, plus a bit more about me. Also , recently i have been doing a lot of new article patrolling too :)
 * 1) Have you been in editing disputes 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? If you have never been in an editing dispute, explain how you would respond to one.
 * Like everybody people make mistakes, However when i first joined i did feel i was treated a little bit unfairly after some admins treating me as "just another newbie" which ultimately led to some disputes and i got banned for a day or so , Even though i was swore at by an admin and a multitude of other things ; To be honest i cant really remember it was several months ago now. These days as i did a few days ago , to settle a dispute i'd ask a freindly admin ( i know a few) or the user who "adopted" me for a third opinion and then settle it diplomaticially.

 Reviews 

Your contributions to articles and the patrolling of new pages seems to be very good work (I say this as someone who's knowledge of European history post Roman Empire is 95% from Wikipedia). However, you seem to be taking an overly combative tone in your edit notes when fixing vandalism or POV issues; for instance "(Undid revision 455580990 by Candi81 (talk) Dont vandalise pages)" when simply saying "reverted vandalism" would have worked. While diplomacy can be difficult, you should try to resolve it yourself as much as possible, rather than involving a third party (but that is not always possible, and the very fact that you can see when there is a dispute is an excellent thing).

You seem to take care to copy-edit the articles, but you are much more haphazard elsewhere (edit notes, this page, etc.). (Incidentally using "+" instead of "and" is something that grates on many a raw nerve, including mine.) Overall your mistakes are small and easy to correct, and your contributions many and excellent, so keep up the good work. Schwal (talk) 23:05, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
