Wikipedia:Editor review/SchfiftyThree

SchfiftyThree
I have been an active user since November of 2005. I've created about 18 articles about people (mostly actors and directors). On Wikipedia, I've been reverting vandalism and have made some reports to WP:AIV and WP:UAA, I have tagged pages for speedy deletion, and I have made requests for articles to be protected. I'd like to be reviewed because this is my first one and would like to find out if I am using the site right! Just note that if you are looking at Interiot's Wannabe Kate tool, it will say my earliest edit was April 2nd, 2007; it was actually 12 November, 2005. -- Schfifty Three  21:27, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Your doing pretty good! I am going to be rather blunt in this review for the sake of expediency so here is a bulleted list of things I noticed. I see you have the wannabe admin userbox on your userpage so here my advice to you in that regard, of the things they look for at RFA the thing you are missing most is XfD's contribs. -IcĕwedgЁ (ťalķ) 09:26, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Review by Icewedge'''
 * Mark minor edits minor! You seem to like updating the tally count on RFA pages, since no one is going to disagree with that change mark it minor.
 * Give more helpful edit summaries, statements such as ++ do not convey well what you did.
 * The view you express in your answer to question 2 is a bit... odd. I too know the feeling of annoyance when someone beats you to a revert but if you take it so harshly that you list it as your largest conflict I would really suggest that sit down and think about that for a while. Anyways, if you don't like that people with Huggle are beating you to reverts get huggle yourself.
 * When you make a report to AIV or UAA I think it is good to include the username of the account you are reporting in the edit summary instead of just saying "report".
 * Talk pages should not be used for anything other than discussion related to editing the article. Questions should be taken to the help desk.
 * !vote rationales such as "yeah" are not the best.
 * I am not really sure how to phrase it but this AFD !vote was not that great. It does not matter whether or not an outside wiki has a better article or not.


 * Thanks for that review! I will try to work on that stuff. Schfifty Three  22:19, 29 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I see you all the time on Huggle (which is awesome by the way) and seem to have a decent amount of edits on the article front. I would suggest, as said above, working on edit summaries and how you express yourself in !votes. Keep up the good work, and happy editing, Leonard( Bloom ) 22:48, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

 Questions


 * 1) Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * I would say that some of my best contributions to Wikipedia are the actor/director articles I've created (eg. Todd Field). I am especially pleased about my contribs to the Todd Field article, since it has been improved several times since I first created it in December 2005. On the other half, some of my best contributions is the amount of vandalism I have reverted. It started in August of 2007 without using any tools. Then in January, I requested for rollback, which got approved, and I have been using that this whole time.
 * 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?
 * Back in March, I was really frustrated about ClueBot for its fast reverting. I even posted a semi-retired message on my userpage, but afterwards I restored the page. I resolved that situation by waiting a long time, and accepting the fact that there are some times when I'll get to revert page blanks. Recently, I've been kind of bummed out because of the popularity of Gurch's Huggle program. Outside of Wikipedia, I got kind of stressed when I would see users like Discospinster, Blanchardb, or Gail revert very quickly when I tried to. I haven't gotten really angry, though. There are a few times that when I'm a little tense on anti-vandalism, I would visit other websites, or do other tasks; then I would get to revert some vandalism.
