Wikipedia:Editor review/Monty845

Monty845
I hope to on day be considered at an RFA, once I have a longer track record (particularly in terms of time, less so edit wise), and so would like to request an aggressive "critique" of any problems that can be found with my editing habits. Feel free to comment on it anyway, but I do recognize my significant deficiency in content contribution. I think one of my better assets is that I appreciate when people point out my mistakes (or things I could do better) and generally respond positively; so I would appreciate any advice that I can get.

 Questions


 * 1) What are your primary contributions to Wikipedia? Are there any about which you are particularly pleased? Why?
 * My primary contribution has been counter vandalism, but I have also tried to get involved in various processes such as AFD, CSD (recently it has mostly been looking for A7 tags on articles with assertions of importance), a little at AFC, and have been participating in the help channel.
 * 1) Have you been in editing disputes 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? If you have never been in an editing dispute, explain how you would respond to one.
 * I have not had much in the way of head to head disputes with other editors,(that were not amicably resolved after a talk comment or two) but I have commented on some contentious debates. The only real dispute with another editor I can think of was over whether their reverts of an IP editor were exempt from the 3RR as removal of unambiguous vandalism. I tried a non template suggestion they stop lest they violate 3RR as I generally agree with WP:DTR, after their next revert they got a template 3RR warning from someone else and eventually got a report at the noticeboard. Generally I think my response was appropriate, and while I may have clarified a comment or two, I would generally approach it the same way again.

 Reviews  Looking over you edits I see that you are primarily a vandal fighter. You appear to do a good job fighting vandalism, and you are polite to other editors. Although I do note that most of your edits are antivandalism (roughly 65%) or AfD work. I would suggest that you do a bit more content building. I have seen you work occasionally at AfC,(thanks by the way, we need all the reviewers we can get) but you might wish to consider writing a few articles, or perhaps getting a article to GA or FA status. Keep up the good work and I believe you will make a fine administrator candidate in a 8 - 16 months. Alpha Quadrant   talk    02:42, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
