Wikipedia:Editor review/LedgendGamer

LedgendGamer
I've technically been on Wikipedia for years, but I only made a handful of edits before leaving. I rediscovered the account a while ago, and decided to start contributing (improvements in maturity, writing skill, etc). I've decided that, after breaking 2500 edits, I should be told how I'm doing, as the community sees it. &mdash; Ledgend  Gamer  00:51, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

 Reviews 


 * Props for the awesome username. Looking through your contribs was pretty interesting, because it showed two things: First, you mean it when you say you're pretty heavy on the vandal-bashing and second, all that vandal work with Twinkle? That's an impressive amount of time, considering the amount of people using Huggle. +1 for the obvious dedication. According to the edit counter, you're somewhere around 42% for article work. That's pretty good. The 47% on User_talk is also pretty good; communication is always a plus. As far as comments or any real reviewing material goes, I only have a couple things that come to mind. (Because it's not like anything I've said you didn't already know.) It's always nice to see people upholding any credibility Wikipedia may have by getting rid of the obvious downside to opening an encyclopedia to the masses (i.e., vandals), but you might want to work a bit more in XfDs or even on small gnomish, unimportant, completely trivial junk. You also might want to look into joining WikiProjects relevant to your interests. That could be a nice way to get some article writing under your belt. You've earned two points thus far: the username (which I really like, for no particular reason) and the obvious dedication to the project. You'll most definitely earn more as time goes by, just keep up the good work. P.S. Consoles are fun and all, but I'm a more tabletop guy myself. Lәo(βǃʘʘɱ) 03:07, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

 Questions


 * 1) What are your primary contributions to Wikipedia? Are there any about which you are particularly pleased? Why?
 * The vast majority of my editing is directed towards fighting vandals. A good chunk of that also goes towards CSD and AfD. The remainder is small stuff like wikignoming and the occasional actual content development. I find it difficult to be particularly pleased about something as mundane as keeping vandals off the website, but somebody needs to do it.
 * 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?
 * The only conflicts I've been involved in are with particularly determined vandals. When it comes to actual content disputes, I try to see them coming and explain myself in advance. If I can't keep out of disputes (I know it will inevitably happen at some point), I will stick as closely to general dispute resolution practices as possible. As for stress, once again, it's nothing more than the occasional persistent vandal. When I can feel stress affecting me, I usually take a break and approach it with a level head later.
