Wikipedia:Editor review/Onopearls

onopearls
I have been on Wikipedia for just over two years, and I have made just over 3400 edits. That being said, I know that I have not been the perfect Wikipedian, as I have lost my cool several times in the last few years. I would just like to know what I can do to improve my edits on Wikipedia, and what I can do to better serve our community as a whole.  Ono pearls  (t/c) 04:47, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

 Reviews 


 * I have been involved with Onopearls with regards to the Sathya Sai Baba Article. This article is highly contentious. Onopearls while not being an admin had some special powers to warn and block users. He was very fair and showed exemplary behavior with regards to neutrality. I felt very comfortable working on this article while he was involved. He consistently called out suspect behavior. Because the Sathya Sai Baba article was totally decimated by vandalism with no one on watch, it was almost impossible to bring it back to a high standard. WIthout his help the article would have never gotten to where it is today. I believe he is a trustworthy editor and can see both sides of an issue.Sbs108 (talk) 21:51, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

 Questions


 * 1) What are your primary contributions to Wikipedia? Are there any about which you are particularly pleased? Why?
 * I am not particularly pleased with any of my edits. Although I am pleased that I was able to greatly expand the opening paragraph for Bolivia, as well as several sections within the article. before and after
 * 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 do not believe that I have recently been involved in any edit wars. That being said, I have been involved in several dispute on the Sathya Sai Baba page, including one recently over the use of "controversial" to describe him in the opening paragraph. user:J929 and user:Dilip rajeev do probably cause me the majority of the little stress I get from Wikipedia. I did prematurely accuse Dilip of sock puppetry, and I subsequently apologized for my harsh reaction. J929 and I had a rather lengthy argument on the SSB talk page, and I may have gotten a little heated. I have dealt with the stress by taking a short wikibreak, as I felt that I had began to assume bad faith. I returned to the Sathya Sai Baba article about a week later, and I believe that, since then, I have taken a much calmer approach to editing (excluding the discussion over controversial on the SSB talk page).
