Wikipedia:Editor review/OliverTwisted

OliverTwisted
Hi. I'm new to Wikipedia, and have been exploring, patrolling, editing and reverting. I've also just begun getting active in AfD discussions and vandalism reporting. It seems as if it would be more productive to get feedback on my editing history sooner, rather than later, after any potential bad habits are firmly instilled. My goal is to be as helpful as possible with combating vandalism, improving grammar and punctuation compliance, and expanding forgotten articles which have been abandoned. I have had no unresolved disputes with any editors, despite a typical newbie mistake on my first posting. I'd love to hear feedback from experienced editors on ways I can improve my contributions. Cheers! Oliver Twisted  (Talk)  03:20, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Right then, your edit count is good and I like the use of the important edit summary. Your edits seem good and are very important for the site. Glad to see you are improving all the time taking on other peoples comments. I had a few rocky first edits so thats nothing to worry about. Regarding the variation of edits, I like that you are getting into XFD and other areas. My advice is get stuck into other areas like RFA and the Reference desk. Also more article writing and expansion would be good. But saying all this, you seem to be a great editor and 9 out of 10 seems good to me! Well done and keep up the good edits!

 Questions


 * 1) Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * I hope I've made some significant improvement in new page patrolling. I had a rocky start, and was fortunate enough to have several editors take the time to give me some tips on improvement. I'm also fairly proud of rescuing several articles which were tagged, I believe, inappropriately for speedy deletion.
 * 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?
 * ''My first edit to Wikipedia did not meet community guidelines. The editor who discovered the problems followed my edits for several days and challenged all of them. I requested arbitration on The Art of War (disambiguation). After winning arbitration, I was accused of being a sock puppeteer. The charge was dismissed, and I have since had several civil and helpful conversations with the editor leveling the charge. It was a potent learning experience, and I don't believe I have repeated any of my newbie mistakes in the months since. Otherwise, I believe I have maintained constructive relationships with all editors I have had discussions with, and strive very hard to end all conversations with agreement, and on a positive note wherever possible. I have a tendency to be flippant, and will try to minimize the appearance of such comments in the future.
