Wikipedia:Editor review/Yamakiri

Yamakiri
I'm wondering how far I've progressed in my time on Wikipedia, and would like to know if I'm doing well or if people dislike me. I do realize I make an occasional slip on huggle or AWB, but it's almost always corrected. Also, I plan in about six months time, to put in a RfA, and I'm wondering how well I'd do in that when the time comes. Although I have a low number of talk and user talk edits, I am always active on Wikipedia's IRC Channel, and I feel that I do in fact have good communication skills (though at times I'm a bit silly and slacking). All reviews are welcome, and I don't mind if you get rude and hasty in your comments, that just shows I need to work harder. Thanks!

I'm really impressed at your perfect edit summary usage, which I personally believe is an important factor for administrator. I also noticed you increased your edit pattern, if you keep up the good work, you might become administrator at the time you desired,in six months. -- Antonio Lopez (talk) 22:45, 28 July 2008 (UTC)  Comments

(Sigh, might as well) Yamakiri, currently, I think your state is OK, but adminship'll have to wait a while. Also, can you be a little more patient, please? BoL (Talk) 03:20, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Review by Bearer of Light (aka BoL)
I have not really followed your edits on Wikipedia, and unfortunately do not have the time to do it either, but given your annoyance insistence on IRC, I decided to chime in. This review is based on your annoying behavior in #wikipedia.

Overall, i think the user is quite eager to do stuff and has good faith, but needs to be more patient. He tries to be nice and useful but tries too hard sometimes. He WILL however go the extra mile to help someone, which i think is a very good quality, but its to easy to over extend yourself and suffer a burn-out. I'd say he will do really well if he chills a bit and is a bit more patient - things happen in their own time, dont try to force them :) As a side note, i have a nagging suspicion that the editor is very a bit power-hungry.

 Questions


 * 1) Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * Well, I am not as much of a content builder as I would like to be, I generally do anti-vandalism work, and take part in a few AfDs. I am trying to get back the spark to work on the Molecular mass article, but I'm just not good at prose.   Unfortunately, I haven't managed to get a new article past the "New Page Patrol Watchdogs" as of yet, but I feel eventually I will be able to.
 * 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?
 * I have been in a few conflicts, in the past, and tended to become engaged in disputes easily, but I feel I have matured since then, and hope to instead peacefully talk things out (though I haven't had a chance to do this recently). Just a few days ago there was a database hiccup that occurred while I was working with AWB, which got me sent to AIV, but it was dismissed.  That was the most trauma I've had recently.
 * 1) Detail a situation that you have been in recently wherein Wikipedia would have benefited from you having admin tools. L'Aquatique [talk  ]  02:08, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I am very active in vandalism patrol, and I also do new page patrol. One thing that gets me irritated is people CSD tagging articles that show promise without really reading them.  As a regular user, I am unable to decline some of the speedy deletions, but also know I'm not a good enough writer to save these articles.  In vandalism patrol, the situation is obvious, there is the occasional need to impose a block upon a user if they have had a history of malicious editing.  For a specific example, I'd have to use "List of sustainability topics".  A time when a user created 26 articles that were each tagged for deletion.  Having admin tools could have helped me a lot there for a few reasons.  Firstly I could have moved all of the articles to one central page, but most of them had more than one edit, and non-admins cannot move those types of pages.  Secondly I could've deleted all 26 useless redirects that we all know wouldn't have been typed (ex List of sustainability topics (V)), and thirdly I could've imposed temporary blocks when the user persisted on removing tags and undoing redirects.
