Wikipedia:Editor review/Martinp23

User:Martinp23
Hi, I'm looking for some opinions on what I'm doing right and what I'm doing wrong. Some time in the far future, I hope to become an admin, but please don't base your review on that statement (in fact ignore it, as it'll be a long time before I apply!). I've become obsessed with fighting vandalism recently and (strangely) I enjoy doing some of the more menial tasks involved with WP - namely welcoming new visitors and NP Patrol (as well as RC patrol using VandalProof or Lupin's tool). Something which I also do (but enjoy slightly less) is spell checks with Lupin's tool, but since yesterday I've mostly used VP (after being accepted to use it). Thanks for your time.

 Questions


 * 1) Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * I'm fairly proud of my first page start: Dave the Chameleon which survived an AfD and which taught me quite a bit about using WP. Since then, I'm proud of my vandal fighting edits and my attempts to welcome users, which included my production of the Template:Firstarticle template to encourage new users to submit after their first articles are marked for deletion. 
 * 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?
 * Today I got slightly annoyed by a number of users who removed sd notices from a page (Fagatron) repeatedly. Myself and another couple of users had to revert this vandalism, and on my doing of this, a message was left on my talk page by one user, and another message left on the article page insulting me.  To remedy this, I warned the user who edited the article with test4 and  .  There also appeared to be a huge use of sockpuppets by the vandals, and I warned as many IPs as I could using the appropriate templates (and sent a few to AIV, but can't remember how many).  There is an ongoing (but hopefully soon to be resolved) dispute in Sculpture of Ancient Greece whoch I entered via WP:3O.  There are a few problems with one of the users involved, noted by other editors, but I'm trying to work around these problems.
 * 1) What's your problem with my hamster?
 * ''I don't have a problem with you hamster. I reverted your edit because it was "adding nonsense to articles". Thanks
