Wikipedia:Editor review/Pepperpiggle

Pepperpiggle
A review would be nice because I would like to know how other users think of my contributions to Wikipedia, and if they think I would eventually make a good administrator. *Pepper piggle*  *Sign!*  23:58, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

 Questions


 * 1) What are your primary contributions to Wikipedia? Are there any about which you are particularly pleased? Why?
 * My primary contribs to Wikipedia are reverting vandalism using Huggle, but I am starting to do a bit of work patrolling the New pages.
 * 1) Have you been in any disputes over editing in the past (please note that this does not refer to ) 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 haven't really been in a dispute with other editors, except for the occasional IP who vandalises my User page for reverting their edits.
 * I haven't really been in a dispute with other editors, except for the occasional IP who vandalises my User page for reverting their edits.

 Reviews 


 * I don't have time for as long a review as I'd like to give, I'm sorry, but I think one thing you need to do is to try to examine the amount of edits you make to your userpage. They account for almost ten percent of your edits. While there's nothing bad about editing them, try to keep them down a bit, doing large edits rather than small ones. I believe I've read somewhere that, if you have a massive number of edits to your userspace, that can reflect badly against you if you are ever nominated for adminship. However, your article and user talk page edits have a good ratio about them, especially if you spend most of your time reverting vandals. -- Thejadefalcon Sing your song The bird's seeds 20:16, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I like that you're fighting vandalism, and that you're learning what is, and what isn't. If you want to become an admin - and we do need more active admins - then consensus seems to require a well-rounded editor, experienced with... well... everything.  So, yes, start with counter-vandalism.  But, while you're at it, get involved in some WP:RFCs (only offer an opinion if it's well thought through - you don't want to look like a dill, especially as everything you've ever done is offered as evidence at an adminship application), and... actually, I think others have covered The Steps To Becoming An Admin.  Let's see...

 * [[File:Wikipedia_adminship_ecdf_total.png]]
 * Graph showing the Cumulative distribution function of days of editing prior to adminship for users admined since Dec 2004.
 * Requests_for_adminship/Standards - the criteria which various users think you should meet for adminship
 * User:Porchcrop/Getting_adminship A step-by-step process to getting adminship, which basically says you need to have a depth of experience in everything.
 * And as a personal guess, I think getting involved in mediating some conflicts - being an independent, disinterested party who can successfully bring a resolution to a disagreement just through talking with those involved, and getting them to understand the views of the other side - will help greatly, showing you to be a consensus builder.
 * In summary: vandal fighting good. You need to show that you haven't got a hair trigger.  If you really want adminship (and seriously, you've got to be mad - who wants to schlep around cleaning up other's feces?), you need to do other stuff too. Josh Parris 06:32, 3 December 2009 (UTC)


 * I don't usually do these but I stumbled on yours and just a quick peek - I wanted to give you some advice. You have ~2500 automated edits out of ~3500 total edits.  That means you have ~1000 manual edits, of which ~250 are on your user page or subpage.  That means you really only have 750 manual edits.  A lot of RfA participants like to see around 2000+ manual edits.  I recommend not using twinkle for the real easy CSD tagging and save it for the more complicated AfD tagging and that will help curb those edit counts.  v/r--TParis00ap (talk) 23:53, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
