Wikipedia:Editor review/Khukri

User:Khukri
I've been editing Wikipedia for over a year now. I started with a few articles of personal interest, and as with alot of users, moved onto RCP. I've now around 3,500 edits, admittedly mostly vandalism reverts and warnings, with a sprinkling of AfD's.

Whilst RCP'ing I started to think that 1) the warning templates had alot of duplicity, and 2) often weren't being used correctly. Example, almost everyone issues vandals with test warnings. This template by it's very name, is for someone who carries out an edit like ssdddfffffghghhgh, or does a self reverting edit, not blatant vandalism. Another, test2 calling edits be it vandalism or not, nonsense, didn't in my opinion seem to be taking the moral high ground. I realised that these templates must go though some sort of peer review, so I decided I wanted to be involved. After a search I couldn't find any program or guides so I started out on my own. After a few weeks of spamming out my ideas, someone pointed me in the direction of WP:UW.

For the last two months or so I have, with one other editor, taken control of this project with an aim over the next couple of months, to completely re-vamp ALL of the user page templates. Now the reason for the beginnings of my interests in adminship. Alot of these templates are protected, and we have a number of admins interested in the project now, but I would like to help with the role of deciding which of these templates should be protected, etc and I believe it could help in the realisation of these projects goals. For the future as well as keeping an eye on the templates, I'd be back on the beat, so to speak, but could sort out my own reports to AiV. So I'd like to know, in which areas do I need to improve, where else should I focus my attentions, before I put myself before the RfA process. Any ideas and pointers are greatly appreciated.

 Questions


 * 1) Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * It would have to be Moss Evans. It's not a fantastic article nor has it reached featured status, but he was friend of the family, and a guy who I respected.
 * 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 haven't that I can think of been in any conflict situations on wikipedia. All of the articles I've done haven't been contentious, and whilst on RCP I mainly do only anon IP edits. Occasionally someone gets abusive, but hey that's the name of vandal fighting. Insulting someone who's peeved cos they've received a warning isn't going to help. As for stress, I do this for entertainment, I have enough stress in the real world, and if I thought that this was adding to it in anyway, I'd just walk away.
