 Questions


 * 1) What are your primary contributions to Wikipedia? Are there any about which you are particularly pleased? Why?
 * Most of my contributions to Wikipedia have been around dispute resolution, but I have been also known to edit articles related to 24 (TV series), occasionally adopt new users, and do other general maintenance.
 * 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 am rarely in editing disputes of my own. When I am, I try to look at it from the perspective of being an outside editor trying to resolve the dispute, and go from there.

 Reviews  I don't have time to give Steve a full review, other than to comment that I was recently talking to a friend and mentioned that PumpkinSky and Steve were the only two people who would compel me to support them at RFA, despite my longstanding practice against doing so. He's just that good.  MBisanz  talk 16:52, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

Review by Guy Macon I have worked with Steven Zhang on various dispute resolution issues, and have found him to be incredibly helpful. In particular, his edits to the help pages at WP:DRN have been exemplary. The only suggestion I would make is to spend a bit more time editing articles. I would suggest once a day hitting the random article button until he sees a likely target, and then spending five minutes or less fixing one problem in that article. In addition, if time permits I might suggest doing a complete rewrite or destubifying of an article every month or so. I am just starting to do this myself so as to avoid the problem of my possibly getting a skewed view of Wikipedia by only dealing with content disputes. --Guy Macon (talk) 09:35, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
