Wikipedia:Editor review/Hi878

Hi878
I'm just wanting to know how I'm doing, get someone else's view. I would like to become an administrator eventually, so I also want to know how I would have to change for that to ever be possible. Hi878 (talk) 00:19, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

 Questions


 * 1) What are your primary contributions to Wikipedia? Are there any about which you are particularly pleased? Why?
 * Mostly, I fight vandals, because Igloo is just so fun to use, and I can do a lot better job of that than writing articles. :) I'm most pleased with the fact that I finally created the Alden J. Blethen article. Not much in it, and I don't know if it will ever go anywhere, but I'm just happy that I finally started it.
 * 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?
 * Amazingly enough, I don't think that I've ever been in any sort of conflict. The closest thing to that would be WP:Miscellany for deletion/User:Hi878/Secret Page List, but I wouldn't say that Cunard caused me too much stress, I could see his side very clearly, so that made it easier to understand what he was talking about, which made it easier to not freak out.

 Reviews  Cut the secret pages, MySpacey behavior, cabals, whatnot. Admins require maturity and being able to build an encyclopedia. At this time, you have as many userspace edits as you do mainspace, and most of the latter are from reverting vandalism.  — fetch ·  comms   20:42, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

I agree with Fetchcomms. You should edit less in the userspace (cut the edit percentage to below 15%) and get some more content contributions. Your mainspace edit percentage should be greater than your user talk edit percentage. Wikipedia is not MySpace. I think you should also remove all of the fake secret pages. Cabals are fine in my opinion (there are even admin cabals) as long as they don't take over your editing. ~ Nerdy Science Dude  (✉ message • changes) 21:01, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Cabals are WP:MYSPACEy and secret pages and guestbooks. I have the same mainspace edit problem too; working on it is tough and takes time. I don't think you're ready for adminship with only 2000 edits and only one created article. Some WP:DYKs and WP:GAs look quite good as well when going for a RfA.
