Wikipedia:Editor review/Tommy2010

Tommy2010
Hello everyone. I'm sure many of you have seen me all over Wikipedia articles reverting vandalism with Huggle and occasionally help with new users struggling on their articles. I started using Wikipedia back in February and have since accumulated many, many edits. I've gotten in some minor conflicts in the past but I hope it all behind me. I'd like to be reviewed because vandal fighting is my primary work here on Wikipedia. I essentially want feedback on how you all think I am doing: how I handle mistakes, myself, helping, biting or other observations that you've seen. Even if you are reading this and we have never had any conversation in the past, I'd still enjoy comments on what you think from an outside perspective. Please provide an article or user talk page link or diff for any inquiries regarding a certain event.  Tommy2010   [message]  19:52, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

 Questions


 * 1) What are your primary contributions to Wikipedia? Are there any about which you are particularly pleased? Why?
 * Primarily I am involved with fighting vandalism, helping newer users who seem to be struggling with many obvious, good faith test edits (specifically involving pictures) and the like. I have occasionally commented on ANI as well as suggest improvements. In the beginning I had originally worked on the food article.
 * 1) Have you been in any disputes 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?
 * Editing disputes, no. Disputes over policy, yes. I dealt with it by communicating to the person in as much of an elaborative way as possible so that the other person clearly understands my POV. That way, others can comment on the situation at hand and provide valuable insight.

 * Hey Tommy. Your vandal fighting is awesome, but I personally think you might want to make more article edits. Also you should be more careful when reverting edits (I saw you've been trout-slapped for it a few times...). Other than that, everything looks really good.

 * I've personally never seen a user so psyched about vandal-fighting. You're like the trigger-happy machine-gunner of rollback soldiers. You accidentally mis-fire occasionally, so make sure you aren't making blind reverts or reverts based only on tags. I've seen "repeating characters" tags that weren't vandalism. Just remember: quality over quantity. You really don't need to make many article edits, if that floats your boat. 4.93 out of 5 stars!  2D Maestro  Mexican Radio 20:09, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

 * You're quite a productive vandal fighter. If that's what your goal is, then you've accomplished it! Yes, you've made a few mistakes, but given your edit count, on a percentage basis you're probably pretty good. When people point out your mistakes, you seem to take take the criticism well. Thus you seem approachable and easy to interact with. I think you're on your way to being a star vandal fighter (if you're not one already!). Regards, P. D.

 * Very great dude. Has helped me tremendously. I have a lot of respct for the help he's given me and hope he and I continue to have a good friendship here on Wikipedia. I love me! (talk) 05:44, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Very, very, very good in helping Vandal fighting on Justin Bieber pages, which tend to attract alot of vandals. Candyo32 (talk) 19:32, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Tommy and I had a pretty rocky start. He took the time to cool down, as did I, and we became buddies. Isn't that the way it should always be in Wikipedia?  As for the rest, his vandal fighting is absolutely top rate, and I have learned a thing or two from him. Haven't looked into Tommy's article work, but even if he never does a thing in that dept., he's already a Major Dude in my book. Jusdafax   01:55, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
