Wikipedia:Editor review/WHeimbigner

User:WHeimbigner
I would like a review because I am looking for ways to improve, and I hope, eventually, to become an administrator. WHeimbigner 23:28, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

 Reviews 


 * Hi there! Here's a review for you (a late one, sorry!)


 * Actual encyclopedic contribution - I have not seen you contributing to any actual article content; instead, they are almost all revert & warnings (VP 2 and JS edits covers around 2/3 of your total edits). You are certainly a great vandal fighter, but this is a encyclopedia. As a Wikipedian, you would like to write materials, doing research to improve a article or contribute what you know sometimes. Fighting vandalism should not be everything of your activity in Wikipedia. Expand yourself into other fields.

Now, as you start contributing to the article contents, you would like to join discussions in talk pages. You have 14 article talks, with most of them again reverting and adjustments. To express your own opinion in article talks is very important on establishing yourself as a Wikipedian.


 * One of the prerequisite for adminship is to have reasonable amount of edits in Wikipedia namespace. You currently only have 29. However, I see 16 of them is in WP:AIV, which is good. You would like to participate in some WikiProjects (Such as WikiProject Linux, suits your interest as a programmer) and its discussions, as they will increase your edits in Wikipedia namespace.

 * Basically I'm supporting the general gist of what AQu01rius said, when I first noticed you your edit history seemed to show exactly zero "Actual encyclopedic contributions". Which I personally find a little worrying, even more worryingly I felt like a significant number of the reverts you had done were in error (such as what you did to me with Ran-Man's page). So I'd also suggest as well as making a much greater contribution to the encyclopedia as a whole (rather than narrowly focusing on reverting), also be more careful when reverting and ease up perhaps a little on the number of them you are doing. Think quality not quantity! Mathmo Talk 10:13, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Another point is that it is not a good look to not answer stuff posted to your talk page, you should keep that in mind too. Also remember to always sign your comments. Mathmo Talk 10:15, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

 Questions


 * 1) Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * I'm mainly pleased that I have spent so much time reverting vandalism.
 * 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?
 * Not really, I get frustrated with people that persistently vandalize but I take the same actions to warn them as I would anyone else

I've just got a message from you saying that my edit on the page "SonicStage" has been removed- not sure who you're after, because I haven't made any edits to that page. "160.79.240.156" is supposedly who did it — Preceding unsigned comment added by 160.79.240.156 (talk • contribs)


 * Wow, WHeimbigner, this is a testament to your rv'ing v activities! Appropriate reverting and template, too, I might add.  One thing I would suggest, though, is when a new user approaches you with a question like this, explain it to them in detail what's going on (I have left a note on their talk page with an explanation).  This helps avoid biting and creates the possibility for recruiting a new user, and you can help them with whatever else they may need at the same time.  Keep up the vandalwhacking!  delldot | talk 01:08, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
