Wikipedia:Editor review/Spebi/1

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Spebi (talk · contribs) Hi, I'm Spebi and this is my editor review. I've been editing since January 2007, although it hasn't been long I do pick up things quickly and I have learned how things work around here and read all policies and guidelines, etc.

I want to be reviewed because I would like to know how I am doing as a Wikipedian from more experienced users, and gain some advice from experienced users of what I can do to continue being a great Wikipedia editor. --Spebi 10:29, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reviews

You're off to a good start. I make the following recommendations to you:

  • You have 300 edits to your user space and only 250 edits to articles. This is a frequent issue I have with new users. In many cases, the edits to your user page are justified: placing convenient links to all the Wikipedia policies and guidelines you consult is a good idea. However, as you mature at Wikipedia, you should leave well enough alone with you userpage and turn your focus elsewhere.
  • Most of your article edits are not substantive. There are some vandalism reverts, which are of course praiseworthy, and there are some minor adjustments to improve formatting. I'd like you to be bold and start writing your own text into articles. Of course it needs to be attributed if the fact is not patently obvious, but don't let that stop you - look for references on your favorite subjects, and start writing!
  • You might consider participating in Wikipedia project discussions, such as WP:AFD and WP:RFA. I think you have enough experience to comment in those areas.

I wish you good luck. YechielMan 01:51, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Questions

  1. Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
    My edits to Habbo Hotel because some sections of it badly needed rewriting when I found it, and since then the article has improved alot, and recently been protected stopping vandalism that was abundant.
  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?
    I have not been in any large conflicts during my time here, but I have been in a few and I have been trying to stick to policies, and have been removing some of my comments from others' user talk pages that might spark a personal-attack war.

I have also been wrongly accused of a personal attack, I sent them the wrong user-warning message...
