Wikipedia:Editor review/The dark lord trombonator

The dark lord trombonator
Well, I've been around the wiki for... oh, must be about a year and a half now, and I've been meaning to get one of these done for a while. The first time was back last year, but as a result of real-life stresses I ended up briefly "leaving" Wikipedia... in the sense that I didn't edit, but checked my watchlist every day. Ahem. Wikipediholic in the house. But seriously, I would like to think I am growing as an editor, and wonder what else I can do to help out around here. My ultimate goal is to wield the mop, but I see this a long way off. In the short term just having rollback or something would be helpful on account of all the vandalism I undo, which is most of my Wiki-ing. In recent times I have helped out welcoming new users and patrolling new pages, with a bit of tagging for speedy and involvement in AfD thrown in for good measure. So, please, leave honest feedback about me - I really appreciate your efforts. -- THE DARK LORD TROMBONATOR  11:38, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Personally, although since I am new to Wikipedia this may not be an informed opinion, you are a very good editor. You are certainly dedicated to making the internet "not suck" and are always ready to proofread and point out errors in my edits on wikipedia. You are the very model of a modern wikipedian. (If you know that musical I will be impressed). Keep up the good work! :) Beligaronia (talk) 10:47, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

 Questions


 * 1) Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * I was really pleased with everything I did back in July/August 2007 when Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was released. It was then, I think, that I got really involved with the reversion of vandalism and spoilers, and while I did not substantially write any articles here, I have involved myself with WP:WPHP and took it upon myself (with others) to care for the Spells in Harry Potter article. The upkeep of this article has been my main contribution to the HP Wikiproject, and I commented in all of the three AfDs it went through, ultimately resulting in the keeping of the article, and the decision to rewrite most of it. After the tidal wave of new information and vandalism ceased here, I moved on to Survivor (TV series) articles, and am a founding member of the Survivor Task Force. I have been involved with much rewriting of older articles here so they match up with the newer ones, and a lot of vandalism reversion. As stated above, this is most of my work on Wikipedia, simply because it turns up on my watchlist far too frequently. People checking my contributions may find a considerable lack of my own research (by which I do not mean OR, rather me looking in books and writing articles); I attribute this to my overly busy life with my final year of high school and all of the additional stresses that come with this. Sigh.
 * 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?
 * I can think of none recently. I haven't been attacked by bad faith users (surprising, given the comments other editors have got from some I've warned), I haven't had any content disputes. The only troubles I really recall were those of the Spells in Harry Potter deletion squadron and their arsenal of everlasting AfDs. Still, our arguments must have prevailed because it's still there today. As a rule, I try to follow policies and guidelines that have been set up on Wikipedia. In a perfect world, no future conflicts over editing would occur, but if they did I would be sure to check guidelines etc, and maintain a calm head, of course. Personal attackers will be warned and reported for blocking if need be, content disputes will be discussed at the respective talk page, and I will approach other editors for third opinions if need be. That's all the possibilities I can think of at the moment, but if you have any more questions for me, leave them here and I will get back to you after the beep...
