Wikipedia:Editor review/Xiner2

Xiner
My first RfA was a wake-up call for me, my first editor review a bit less so but still helpful, and so I thought I'd solicit the help of Wikipedians again. Xiner (talk, email) 16:20, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

 Reviews 
 * Good edits in a wide range of areas of wikipedia. Possibly a few more mainspace edits and I'd be willing to give you strong support if you apply for an RfA, I'd even nominate you myslef when the time is right. Telly   addict  19:28, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

 Questions


 * 1. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any with which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A: I am proud of most of my edits. The greatest contribution must be the great deal of materials I entered into WikiProject Buffyverse, including writing the bulk of many of the articles and substantially editing the rest (including most of the main characters). It taught me a great deal about the mechanics of editing on Wikipedia. I hope the minor pages there do not come up for AfD's though -- I'm not sure how I'd vote now.
 * Recently, I also fell in love with the Baiji article. Not only did I help resolve an edit war and anon-IP attacks brought on by a main page placement, I also used my Chinese and general editing skills to clear up a few questions and added substantially to the content. Watching the article grow from little more than a stub to a B-class before my eyes was one of my best experiences so far on this site.
 * My main space edits now consist mostly of copyediting, and less frequently finding references for unsourced statements.


 * 2. 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?
 * A: Policy helps people stay on track, but I have also learned to walk away if the issue is not that important, vandalism notwithstanding. Emotion can escalate the situation unnecessarily otherwise. I do not like to recount specific instances where I have had disagreements with other editors. It is easier to forgive and forget, and where I have wronged, I have apologized.
 * The key to conflict resolution is common ground. Praise the other party for something tangible, remind them of your good faith, and try to lower the heat. And try hard to assume good faith.
