 Questions


 * 1) What are your primary contributions to Wikipedia? Are there any about which you are particularly pleased? Why?
 * I feel my primary contribution is vandal fighting.However..I have created over 25 articles..mostly about Commonwealth youth games.
 * 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 have had editing disputes here during my first few days as I didn't know any of the Wikipedia policies then.Instead of arguing with the other user and getting in trouble..I decided to leave the matter to administrators...However..I have no editing disputes in the recent times as I am now fully aware of the important wikipolicies.

 * Strike Eagle is a brilliant user and he has been highly active in this 2 months. However seeing his edits I believe that he should take his time to contribute to one article and get it to GA/FA class since that will help him in case he goes for a RfA. His communication skills are superb and he is always civil. That is something which really adds to him. :) ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛  Talk Email 14:50, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot Vibhav for your review.I actually planned to bring Wales at the 2011 Commonwealth Youth Games to GA(or FA) but just couldn't do it.Help is always welcome..  Strike  Eagle  ✈  15:46, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

Review by DBigXray
 * The editor has more than 800 vandalism reverts, to show his anti-vandal skills. Has always tried to do the good thing and corrects mistakes whenever comes across them. Has won a lot of hearts in the wiki community by his civility and good sense of humour, the awards received so far also validates this. Has actively participated in the WikiProject India Assessment drive 2012. Over all an asset to the Wikipedia community which will surely miss him during his forthcoming semi-retirement. Hope  you return back to editing whenever you get time. keep up the good work. cheers --  Ð ℬig  XЯaɣ  15:03, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

Well well, I don't know where to start with as I know everything about your wiki works. Take my comments positively please (few of them can be little harsh also) A good learner first of all. Friendly, helpful and energetic the way I like. Wants to do the right thing and always does. So to start with, I'll point out positive points in you:

+ points
 * 1) Really good rollbacker and fights vandalism pretty well.
 * 2) Great work in creation of commwealth articles
 * 3) Good understanding of wiki polices (not complete knowledge but perfect in whatever you know)
 * 4) An hardworking editor and polite also which is a great thing
 * 5) Humorous and lite hearted person who always AGF.


 * There are other points also; an amazing off-wiki friend, makes me laugh, etc.. but I won't consider this as + points as far as editorial or encyclopediac review is concerned

Now heres the villan

- points
 * 1) Too much time is spend on nonconstructive things. Like; I saw you making a new sub-page just for deciding that what will your new sign look like. Though it doesn't harm anything except your image. Remember; people in majority here are seriously in encyclopedia and this was just time-pass which is a big no-no to do. I don't mind, but if you run for adminship in 1 year or some, they can use this as a rational as this makes your image like an pettish new-comer who doesn't know the meaning of wikipedia, which I will not like to see.
 * 2) Have funny and lite nature, but you get too funny (at sometimes). No harm to you or others in that but this nature makes you look like an relatively irresponsible person on wiki.
 * 3) More then 45 % edits on a single person's (other then yourself) tp is not a good sign. I agree that there were constructive edits also, but many were of no use or could have been avoided
 * 4) I see that you participate a lot in tp and up. While I love communacating users, it is a very negative sign (this is the biggest problem). There have been many rfas which got more then 40-50% oppose due to their such nature. As do not forget that why we all are here; to built and improve the encyclopedia
 * 5) Votes in RfA/RfB. I see that you are as new as me in that area, try to use a better rational. As your comments do not indicate that why the rfa candidates should get promoted. This is a very minor issue which will be solved automatically as you vote more. No issue in this but this will only show a false report about you: lack of judgement. You are a good judge so use a better rational to support or oppose.

This are minor issues. You don't need to worry much about this. Just try to improve a bit more and I m sure that you'll be an admin after completion of your school. You've been a great wiki and off wiki friend. Don't let your spirits down and keep up the good work! You have always done and are doing great work. You really did inspire me twice. Always keep up this spirit. I'll miss you in your sems as you'll reduce the work for 2 years. In short, you are a good asset for the community. We need more editors like you. → TheSpecialUser TalkContributions* 15:15, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot SpecialUser.....I agree I spend more time in tp.But DBX heavily influenced my editing here and is more friendly,welcoming and helping than anyone else I know here.So,I don't consider stalking his tp or talking with him frequently will do me harm.Hope you got my point!

 * Got it. Thanks for being positive. I really like your spirit a lot → TheSpecialUser TalkContributions* 16:20, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi, SrirarKashyap. (Sorry it changed to Strike Eagle). I'm sorry that I could not respond soon to your editor review, as I was busy in my RFA. However, now I'm free, I've withdrawn my RFA. From what I can see is that that you are a great editor, having a good judgement. Be careful and don't try to go to complex, lot's of complains come that way. Lastly, never be discouraged. Be bold and edit! Yarr, tu ne jo bhi kiya hai uske liye thanks. Dipankan ( Have a chat? ) 07:15, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

Review by Pol430

Pretty much per TheSpecialUser. Spend more time editing and improving articles, or doing much needed maintenance tasks and a little less time on the social aspects (talkpages). Don't take on too much too soon. You have only been actively editing for two months, you need to find something you enjoy on Wikipedia to build your experience. Continue working at New Pages Patrol, or if your knowledge of policy is good, try reviewing article submissions at WikiProject AfC. Pol430 talk to me 15:11, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanksa lot Pol430.....in the recent days..I suddenly lost interest in editing..so didn't edit much in article space.However, as I retire this june...will do lots of work after I return completely.  Strike  Eagle  ✈  11:31, 20 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Review by Brendon

Don't worry you're doing good! You're the best judge. Only you know your aim here, so it's not fair if we, without knowing your goal, get to judge you. Moreover, I think "good" or "bad" or "nonconstructive" or "counter-productive" and whatnot are excruciatingly subjective words and using them makes us slightly judgemental, a trait I irrevocably loathe. However, if I knew what is it that you're trying to achieve with this request for reviewing your editorial aptitude, I could have been more precise. Wiki-community is much like a multi-cultural society where the goal is one but contributions can come in many shapes or forms. You may improve wikipedia in many ways. In my opinion some of these ways are, [Note:The list was not meant to be exhaustive.]
 * 1) Constructively taking part in discussions about various policies that have ensured the free flow and credibility of most Information so far.
 * 2) Honing your own skills in editing and thereby improving the quality of articles
 * 3) Fighting vandalism tirelessly
 * 4) Last but not the least, helping other editors is also a way to build an encyclopaedia.

Lastly, wikipedia is a volunteer community, and it does not require the Wikipedians to give any more time and effort than they wish. As long as you don't wiki-policies, what you should or should not do is entirely up to you. Like Pol430 said, You must do what you enjoy on Wikipedia, as opposed to what others demand you do.
