Reviews

• Hi Parker1297, sorry that you've not had a review done in the last 2-3/4 months. Hopefully we can get the reviewing sorted out here! Anyway, on to my review...

When editing, it's a good idea to use an informative edit summary. This shows what you actually did rather than just showing which section of the article you edited. There is an option under my preferences where you can get a warning if you do not leave a summary (I tend to use it now, to make sure I remember on those occasions when I'm tired, or the kids decide that this is the moment when they really must have my attention!).

Your comments on talk pages are succinct and to the point - not a bad thing!

The edits you have made are geared towards the encyclopedia - almost 40% on articles, with a further 15% on article talk pages. This is good! I notice that most of the article edits are minor ones - adding a few words or a couple of sentences. These little bits are important - they may not be noticed by many people, but they make the article more accurate, more complete.

I also noticed that you made a Request for Adminship. The enthusiasm is great - but you need a lot more experience on Wikipedia before going for admin! Read the links that NW made in their comments at your RfA - especially WP:AIV, etc. Also, before you consider re-applying, it is a good idea to have more substantial work on articles behind you. Lots of little edits are great, as I've already said, but most of the editors commenting on an RfA would be looking for at least a couple of substantial contributions - that could be a new article of a decent length, a major re-write, etc. Also, knowledge of the procedures for dealing with vandalism and deletions is something which most editors want to see before giving the admin tools to someone!

In general, I think you are doing a good job - keep up the good work! I see that you have not done any editing in a month or so - I'm hoping that this is because of school work, rather than that you have given up on us!

Oh, and in the questions below, the "edit conflicts" question refers to occasions where you have had disagreements with other editors, not when you get the message "edit conflict" because someone else has just edited the page as well!

If you have any questions, or comments, feel free to post them here or (preferably) on my talk page. -- PhantomSteve (Contact Me, My Contribs) 17:20, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
