Wikipedia:Editor review/MuZemike

MuZemike
This is now my sixth month editing on Wikipedia, and I want to see how I am doing, so far. I like to say that I am still learning the ins and outs as well as various situations here. I still make mistakes here and there, but I try to learn from them as much as I can. MuZemike ( talk ) 18:31, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

 Reviews 
 * Hello! I would strongly urge you to avoid incivil edits like this, but encourage open-minded edits like this.  One discussion you participated in in which I thought your edits were spot on was Articles for deletion/List of fictional swords.  You make a wise and agreeable statement that we cannot and must not humor such incivil nominations and were also right to point out all the "votes" without arguments.  It is also good to see in your userboxes that you have worked on Good Articles.  Finally, good call with your DRV at Deletion review/Log/2009 February 18; you have twice now been listed at my List of nice Wikipedians.  Best, --A NobodyMy talk 01:02, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

 Questions


 * 1) Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * The most pleasing contributions I have made has been to a couple of articles in particular. The first (and most important to me) was an article for a rather obscure old video game titled The Guardian Legend. Before my extensive work on it, it looked like this and was not in very good shape. After doing some extensive work on the article, three other dedicated editors joined in with even better resources as well as some pretty good copyediting skills. The article has gone from Start-Class all the way up to A-Class. A second good contribution I have made was the reconstruction of the List of Nintendo Entertainment System games, which started as a rather haphazard list here to a much more complete, concise, and easily verifiable list. I put a bit of effort into that work, and I'm doing the same thing right now to the List of Famicom games. I say that I am quite pleased myself with the end result in the meat of the NES list.
 * 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?
 * Sometimes I can get rather WP:BITEy towards new editors. Just recently, I might have pushed one new user I ran into in an AfD (apparently, it didn't take much at all) to the point of incivility and outright harassment directed at me. I do think that it might not have happened if my one or two comments were not as brash or condescending. I like that I didn't respond back with equally uncivil comments as that obviously doesn't help any. I don't try to be like that towards newcomers do don't know much about Wikipedia. I get quite of few of those newcomers who kindly ask me questions on my talk page in which I try to give the best advice I can. Most of them appreciate the advice I give them, which makes me feel good for helping others.
