Wikipedia:Editor review/NerdyScienceDude

NerdyScienceDude
Hello, all. My name is NerdyScienceDude. I am here to request feedback to see how I'm doing and how I can improve. I would also like to use as a time to figure out everything I need to do before I file an RfA.

 Questions


 * 1) What are your primary contributions to Wikipedia? Are there any about which you are particularly pleased? Why?
 * A lot of my contributions have been mostly anti-vandal work, but I also report username violations, patrol new pages, and do some WikiProject work.
 * 1) Have you been in any disputes 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 been involved in several disputes. You can see them if you thumb through my talk archives. All of the disputes were resolved after some discussion on my talk page.

 Reviews 


 * I actually am in the same boat as you, NSD, so I'll echo my admin coach on this one. Many RfA voters look for work beyond what you have listed there. What are your content contributions? What files have you contributed? These are things that I would think would sink an RfA for you if those were your answers to the standard questions. See my admin caoching page for exactly what my admin coach said. Ham  tech  person  15:20, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I have created five articles. I have uploaded several fair-use images as well as some images to Commons.  N ERDY S CIENCE D UDE  (✉ msg • changes) 15:31, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Review from Taelus
(Using subheader since it looks oddly disjointed using bullet points, and using ":" makes it look like its a reply to the above)
 * Just a quick review from me, based on seeing you around the place. Firstly I find your enthusiasm motivating, it is always refreshing to see such enthusiasm towards improving the project and contributing, so keep it up! That said though, be careful not to let your enthusiasm lead you to haste in certain circumstances. Don't take this as specific criticism of your actions, just general advice that I would offer to all.
 * Since you stated your wish to try for admin, a few things that would help you prepare: Firstly, some more article work can only be an asset to an RfA candidate, and will lower the hefty percentage of your edits which are automated (Currently 33%). Secondly, I would recommend 3-4 months more experience at the very minimum to allow those who !vote at the eventual RfA to gather a longer-term picture of your edits. Thirdly, if you haven't done so already, read through the recommended admin reading list, and watch what goes on on a variety of admin noticeboards to get a feel of things. (I assume looking at your edit stats though you are already interested and looking into such areas.) Also, if you are not overloaded already, consider looking at some XfD areas, as most of them are usually backlogged regularly.
 * Other than that, keep up the good work! Feel free to poke me on my talk page with any comments, questions, etc. One final sidenote, personally your signature is too bold for my liking, its brightness and size sort of flies out the screen into my face, I much preferred your older smaller signature. :) --Taelus (talk) 16:50, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
