Wikipedia:Editor review/coldacid

coldacid
My contributions go back for more than four years, but I've never gotten any real feedback about my editing. There are a few things that annoy me about Wikipedia, and for a while I was considering leaving my editing days behind. I've since decided against that, but I'm still a bit guarded. (I like editing, but my issues are primarily political, and have provided me with a bit of the ole wikistress. I've more or less been avoiding those issues, though.) I feel I've lost my focus here, though. To combat that, I'm trying to take a start-class article and attempt to get it GA or better. coldacid (talk|contrib) 08:04, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

 Reviews 


 * OK, given as wikipedia is about collaborative editing, DYK, GA and FAC are really good ways to instantly identify your achievements to others on your userpage ''(yes, I know, "Do you wanna medal or a chest to pin it on" comes to mind but it is good at giving folks an idea of what you've done. I haven't actually started looking yet, but just an introductory note. Cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 05:49, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

 Questions


 * 1) Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * I'd have to say Toastmasters International is the shining jewel of my editing crown. It's the article I'm working on improving to GA class. I'm also quite pleased with the work I did quite some time ago on City of Toronto Act, which similarly is a rewrite (although there was a big merge component to it too).
 * 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?
 * The fair use policy has been a thorn in my side due to a few userboxes I created a long time ago. As well, the insistence on using the silly decimal measurements of bytes as opposed to the more proper binary measurements; I'm surprised that I didn't find any edit warring over that one in my contribution history (perhaps I'm just blinded to it). My solution so far is get huffy IRL, and mumble about it on my complaints page. Unprofessional and probably unhealthy, but better than making a big issue about it and end up blocked.
