Quasihuman
I've been editing here just over a year now, and I would like some feedback on my editing, with a view to improving the quality of my contribution to the project.(I'm not intending to run for adminship any time soon, if at all) Quasi human  &#124;  Talk  22:47, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

 Questions


 * 1) What are your primary contributions to Wikipedia? Are there any about which you are particularly pleased? Why?
 * In article work, my niche is in recent Irish history (mostly 90's), mainly because that is fairly poorly covered. Recently I've been working on WP:AFC and referencing unsourced BLPs. I have also done anti-vandal work, new page patrolling and DYK reviewing. I am particularly pleased with creating Grangegorman killings and bringing it to GA status, and also saving Auditors of the Literary and Historical Society (University College Dublin) from deletion by finding sources that indicated notability.
 * 1) Have you been in editing disputes 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? If you have never been in an editing dispute, explain how you would respond to one.
 * I tend to avoid conflict, but I have been involved in a number of disputes. Mostly these don't cause me stress, because the majority of editors are civil in spite of differences of opinion. One dispute that caused be particular stress was on Talk:Albert Einstein, it degenerated into a personal attack on me which was eventually removed by a more sensible editor than me (this diff is about the peak of it.) All of this made me seriously consider retiring from editing due to the stress it caused me. In hindsight I made a number of mistakes in dealing with this, I responded to the attacker, and asked him to apologise, I left an alert on WP:Wikiquette alerts, which turned out to be pretty ineffective. In furure, in a similar situation, I would revert the personal attacks on sight and leave a warning template on the user's talk page.
