Wikipedia:Editor review/Wilhelmina Will

STATEMENT ''I've been on Wikipedia for just less than a year and a month now, and I've done much good work for the encyclopedia. I have also received a handful of awards, and plenty of treats, and DYK badges. I'd like to know the full feedback of my reception by other users.'' I called the Warner sister &quot;Dottie&quot; and lived to tell the tale! (talk) 04:06, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

 Reviews 


 * You have a good amount of mainspace edits, which, coupled with your AfC work indicates that you are a good content contributor. You also have a good spread of edits, contibuting actively to project namespace (mostly the aforementioned AfC), as well as Talk and User Talk pages, which shows a willingness to discuss rather than involve yourself in edit conflicts, and I like that. Although a lot of the edits are not to do with anything wiki-wise, such as this. While it's a nice thought, I would prefer to see more article-related messages. I do, however like that you use appropriate warning messages for vandalism/editing tests etc. You seem to have become more diplomatic with users recently, however with regard to this edit, I would point you towards this essay. Overall, I like your contributions, however I'd like to see you using edit summaries more, and try to get it up to 100% for now on. If you are thinking of running for WP:RfA, I think some more contributions to WP:AfD debates will let you become more familiar with policies and guidelines and gain experience in more admin-style tasks. Also, you tend to make a lot of consecutive edits to the same articles, which tends to artificially inflate the edit count, and I did have to repair some formatting mistakes with this review request, which probably indicates not reading the instructions thoroughly enough. So perhaps take more time over editing, check things over and use the preview feature more. A good contibutor to the project. Happy editing! -  Toon  05  13:16, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

 Questions


 * 1) Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * Your answer here: I like all the DYK articles I have created. It gives me a feeling of importance, like saying: "Hey, I've created (currently) 21 DYK articles. Facts from articles I started up have appeared on the main page of the encyclopdia. This is really something!".
 * 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?
 * Your answer here: Other users have put me in a lot of stressful situations. User:TTN originally caused me stress when he nominated two of my earliest pages for deletion. Luckily, I managed to save them by redirecting them, (as he had originally done). The second user to cause me stress was User:Captain Infinity. I had been working on South Park Wiki at the time, and I wanted to create the missing episode pages there. However, I had not wanted to spend lots of time writing the summaries from scratch, so I remembered how TTN would redirect pages on episodes which didn't meet the notability guidelines. I decided I could do that for non-notable SP episode pages, and use their info in South Park Wiki. However, Captain Infinity did not like that, and then kept poking at me to stop with it. Other Wikipedians who caused me a lot of stress were User:AgnosticPreachersKid and User:Jayron32. I will not go into details over what they did, as it is quite gruesome to mention, and I still feel traumatized over it. However, this sounds biased to me, so I will admit from all these people's points of view, I probably caused them a lot of stress as well. I probably caused TTN stress, as he was only doing his duty as he saw it; making sure Wikipedia did not become a fanbase for various programs, and here I was, trying to keep two pages which I now see didn't meet the notability guidelines as more than redirects simply because I had made them. I then caused Captain Infinity stress when I persisted in redirecting the SP pages (I'm not even interested in South Park anymore), and he was used to them being there. I also caused APK stress because I cared more about keeping my messages on his talkpage intact than about how he felt about it. I think I dealt well with the first case, as I at least got the pages to stay alive, even if they're in stasis, and I did get a reasonable amount of sympathy. I'm not pleased with the way I dealt with the second case, and I'm only half-pleased with how I dealt with the third (I'm pleased with the way I finally decided to ignore it for the rest of the way). In the future, I'm mainly going to focus on creating new pages and getting them up to DYK status, if possible, and I'm going to try to avoid talking casually to other users.
