Wikipedia:Editor review/Master of Puppets 2

Master of Puppets
Previously had an ER here, which was a while ago. I've recently returned to editing, and would like some recent feedback just to see what I can improve. Cheers, and thanks for the input, Master of Puppets Care to share?  21:30, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

 Reviews 

As a brief overview, i would say, spend less time on WP:RFA and more time in other Wikipedia areas. It is good to see that you are a vandal fighter so keep it up. I would also say spend less time on your userpages unless in the context of articles but then again...

things you can increase, spend more time in interaction on articles and other pages and general discussions. Also templating is seen as a valuable skill so i would say that you need to familiarise yourself with this more.

Hello. I found this comment a bit strange to be honest but I understand it now reading what you're interested in. I'd agree with Simply South and say you should spend more time actually writing articles and contributing to the encyclopedia, if only to give you more insight into the other things you like to do. You list a range of things you do on wikipedia below, but the most important thing - article writing - doesn't seem to feature at all. You're interested in lots of discussions but unless you understand the process of writing - and what it's like getting perfectly good articles nominated for deletion/smothered with tags after thirty seconds etc - then you can't contribute properly to them. Even having an editor review is just talking about talking, communication is not actually the most important thing in building wikipedia, do some writing sometimes.

I thought you handled yourself well here.--Addhoc (talk) 11:37, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

It would be helpful if you didn't label edits as "minor" unless they are, I assume you've got this set in your preferences. Some people turn them off, and looking at your last 500 contribs there's only one or two edits that aren't labelled minor. One Night In Hackney 303  05:34, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

You were the first to welcome me to Wikipedia (even though, strictly speaking, I've been around anonymously since you were a whipper-snapper ☺) and I was quite shocked and how you almost beat me to my own edit. You clearly have a good handle of the tools needed to help maintain a positive Wikipedia community. My only advice: Stop changing your sig so much! -- Ean5533 ( View! /  Talk! ) 22:08, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

 Questions


 * 1) Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * I've contributed in most areas of the encyclopedia; mainly in the mainspace, deletion process, RFA and more. My main goal is to enhance user communication; when building a house, one does not chop down the logs themself, grind the paste for glue and do everything else without support (unless one is colonizing the New World). I believe the same should apply to Wikipedia; we're all part of this, so communication is essential. Therefore, I try to welcome as many new users as I can, help out with questions on the help desk, and participate in WP:ANI matters.
 * I also do my fair share of vandalism reversals (using WP:AVT and WP:TW), report vandals to WP:AIV and try to WP:AGF whenever I can; if a user adds a Facebook site for Opeth to the Opeth article, I explain to them that this is against policy, and so forth.
 * Finally, I patrol Special:Newpages and speedy a few articles every day. I also am trying to participate more in the Featured picture and article discussions.
 * 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've been in a few conflicts; since I only returned recently, there was one on the Antichrist article that ended up being taken to WP:RFC, here. I also reported a user recently for 3RR violation . However, I never let conflicts cause stress, because stress will only serve to unbalance me and cause more errors in my judgement. I instead try to maintain a calm, collected attitude when dealing with vandal and editor alike. I've never resorted to namecalling or edit warring and know I will stay this way.

Please do not edit the John McIntyre copyeditor entry to point to the John McIntyre blogger entry. They are not the same person. I know the copyeditor personally. If you check their pictures it is obvious they are not the same person. Please read the notes I left in my edit summary rather than just reverting without paying attention. Thank you.
