Wikipedia:Editor review/Tomtomn00

Tomtomn00
I have made over 4000 ( Updated 06/04/2012 ) edits to Wikipedia, and I am recently doing 75-150 edits a day. ~ &#8658;TomTom  N00  @ 17:52, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

 Questions


 * 1) What are your primary contributions to Wikipedia? Are there any about which you are particularly pleased? Why?
 * Probaly my userpage experiments (Example: User:Tomtomn00/To Do.)
 * 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 thought I'd change this: I once got on the Administrators Noticeboard, but all incidents were resolved.

 Reviews 
 * Thanks for welcoming new users, it's a very important job. I'm not satisfied with your warning on User:Tomtomn00/E=mc² page; notifying users not to edit without your permission. This is strictly prohibited, see WP:OWN. If you're following my advice, then, fine and good. And make sure to assume good faith before you do anything. Dipankan says..

 * Its my own personal userspace, so I thought of not allowing changes. ~ &#8658;TomTom  N00  @ 14:38, 25 March 2012 (UTC)


 * I hate to go all negative, but I'm not sure you understand the reason you are at Wikipedia. Where shall we start?
 * "Some IP users cause me stress, so I used the ARV Twinkle button and they got a 1 Month Block. Also I have got 3 registered accounts indef. block."
 * The point of reporting people for administrator attention is not that they are causing you stress, it's that they are vandalising Wikipedia or otherwise breaking the rules. Reporting people that cause you stress wastes the time of administrators and risks it potentially blowing back.
 * Secondly, your repeated attempts to get user rights across projects are a massive impediment to anyone taking you seriously. Did you honestly think that Wikiquote or Simple English Wikipedia were going to give you adminship with zero edits, no user page and no talk page? Do you think that the admins who manage requests on WP:RFPERM are going to hand you user rights without checking your reason for needing them? If, as your userbox says, you are interested in becoming an administrator, why do this? If and when an English Wikipedia RfA happens, the first thing people are going to do is dredge up the trainwrecks you've started at Meta (for global rollback and global sysop) and Commons and elsewhere and say "well, you don't seem to understand Wikimedia adminship at all, why should you have it on Wikipedia?" People tend to not have a very high opinion of hat collecting.
 * The best advice I could give you is simply this: edit articles. Pick something you care about, whether that's an academic thing or a pop culture thing, and either create an article if one doesn't already exist, and get it up to a standard you choose. That might be starting an article and taking it to WP:DYK, or it might be taking an existing article and moving it up from start/stub class to C or B grade, or if you are particularly ambitious, get something to good article status. Perhaps I'm slightly hypocritical, since my anti-vandalism and admin work greatly outweighs my content work, but the point of Wikipedia is the content. If you don't want to write new stuff, find articles that have warning tags on them, perhaps via WP:BACKLOG and hunt down references, clean up the copy and so on.
 * Also, use edit summaries. The content editing you've done often doesn't have edit summaries. In the preferences, there is a setting that'll force you to use edit summaries. Flip that on. I'm sure there's a few other bits of advice I could give you, but that would seem to get most of it. —Tom Morris (talk) 09:13, 30 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks for creating Jacobus Deketh as it was a page I have been planning to create some time, However when I checked it out it was clear that it was a google translate of the nl: article with no correcting of any nonsense or grammar stuff ups.  And I even see that you said that you manually translated it.  Can you read Dutch?  Also the reference was a dud, and nominating at DYK needs referencing, and accurate hooks.  SO I suggest that you read the instructions carfully and if you don't understand you can talk about it with others.  I have also noticed you commenting on other people's requests for AWB or Filemover, some of which are not helpful. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 14:33, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I was just trying to help until I manage to get my AWB accepted. (I have double the required article space edits). ~ &#8658;TomTom  N00  @ 15:16, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Since others have declined to assign AWB, I will not go against their decision. The 500 edits are designed to show a lack of problems, but if they show problems, then it is best not to have it, as the amount of problems increases. I suggest that you follow though with a DYK that can succeed. I will add that you are responsive to people talking to you, and this is a positive attribute to have.

 * Very important suggestion. Please read WP:COPYPASTE and WP:PARAPHRASE very carefully. Then wait one week, then read them again. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 19:02, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Read. Added to Watchlist. ~ &#8658;TomTom  N00  @ 19:05, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Adding to watchlist won't help much, because pages like that don't change much, and you won't necessarily remember why you added them. Instead, set yourself a reminder in whatever calendar software you have or use or like, and include the URL of the page. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 23:19, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
