Hello fellow Wikipedians. I am looking to see how i may improve by conducting thisr review. I created WikiProject Earthquakes and have contributed to four featured articles-significantly Oort cloud- and one A-class article, Mount Baker. ~ Me ldshal  42  17:11, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

 Reviews 


 * Hello, this is Editorofthewiki here. I think it was an excellant idea to create WP:QUAKE as it was a wikiproject that needed starting. I am also impressed with your FAs and GA reviews. However, I wish you could conduct more of an in depth review of Hell's Gate National Park. Also, I personally don't think that 1556 Shanxi earthquake is good enough, and I think that you should have no unreferenced paragraphs. Overall I think you're doing great, but try to heed some of my suggestions. Could you please review me? I'm an Editorofthewiki[citation needed] 19:40, 16 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Hello. I haven't known you all that long, but from what I've seen so far, you're great. You're enthusiastic, productive, friendly, cooperative and easy to get along with. My main issue with your editing is that you tend to confine yourself to small edits (adding a letter here, an image there), rather than tackle the deep, transformative edits required to get articles up to FA status.

 * Hey Meldshal! I don't really know you that much but since you reviewed me, I'll review you. =) First of all, I like that you're bold when you created this article that talks about something pretty old, and this which'll help earthquake articles alot. Be sure to put categories for every article you create so that its more locatable. I'm a little concerned of your images that you're uploaded. For example, Image:Carrizozo.jpg worries me. Read the tag before choosing it. That was over 2 months ago. You've seemed to improve with Image:Northwestiranfaults.jpg and Image:Ali hassan al-majid.jpg. I'm just interested why you edited this article so much. Overall, you're a great editor. =) -- DA  PIE EATER   REVIEW ME  15:45, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I've started reviewing you and will try to get more to you later this evening... but wanted to give you a few key pointers. First, remove your age from your page.  I don't think it is ever a good idea to advertise your age.  This is particularly true if you aren't over the age of 20!  Some people will look down upon you and ask, "who is this kid that he thinks he can give me a warning or disagree with me."  You want people to judge you for what you do on wikipedia, not how old you are.  Second, start responding to people on the page where the conversation begins.  Talk pages where you have to jump around between different users is a nightmare.  It is much better to keep everything together, that way when others review you (whether here or at an RfA) can see your responses immediately.  (I've reviewed people whose talk pages look horrendous because you never saw their side of the story.)  Other than those two facts, my preliminary review is favorable... I'll have to dig in deeper before I commit.--- Balloonman  PoppaBalloon 22:22, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * You might want to revisit some of those userboxes on your talk page. As a general rule, people don't add user boxes for FA articles where they weren't one of the major contributors.  Your participating in an FAC and making a handful of edits usually doesn't warrant the inclusion of a box.  Looking at your edits, there was only one FA that I felt comfortable with your claiming and might be willing to give you Oort cloud as well.--- Balloonman  PoppaBalloon 22:34, 15 July 2008 (UTC)  NOTE: Actually, the one I would have given you was 2002 Bou'in-Zahra earthquake ... Oort Cloud is one that you could probably make an argument to as well... but I'm not really sure about it.--- Balloonman  PoppaBalloon 06:06, 16 July 2008 (UTC)


 * You've uploaded many valuable photographs. I encourage you to upload future free photographs to Wikimedia Commons instead of Wikipedia, so that other Wikimedia projects can also use them.--ragesoss (talk) 18:11, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

 Questions


 * 1) Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * Well, I have created WikiProject Earthquakes which is doing well, as well as promoted 4 featured articles and 1 Good article.
 * 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 have gottten into a a conflict over an article that wasn't of GA status, so I put it on hold. The author subsequently attacked me with smart comments and asked a "senior reviewer" to pass the article.  i remained somewhat level-headed and let it go, but apologized to the editor.  Although the editor did not thank me back, i learned from that experience.
