CP\M (talk · contribs) As of now, I've been in Wikipedia for some time, and would like to undergo a check on what I am doing right or wrong, get suggestions on what I should improve, and know the general impression about my actions. As RfA seem the major concern for ER, I must say that I've never seen it as a goal and am not thinking about it at least in the close future, as I don't even meet my own requirements, but opinions on whether you would generally like to see me as an admin would be interesting. But, mostly, I'm interested in the general picture, and any suggestions, comments, opinions and additional questions are welcome.

Reviews

  • I was recently involved in a case for which you were the mediator, and have nothing but thanks and high praise for the delicate work that you did there. Generally, looking around your edits, it seems that you are one of the forces of good on this project: you promotion of the idea of neutrality is very useful when so many others are taking sides. Hopefully others will give you a more rounded summary, but that's my two penn'orth! Vizjim 00:16, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Questions

  1. Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
    Not particularly, as of yet. As specific contributions that, in my opinion, did benefit WP most, I'd name creation of Wikiproject The Elder Scrolls, which allowed to save a number of articles and coordinate merging. As my edits to Submarine haven't improved it to FA status yet, I'm not too pleased about them, but I've done some work in this area.
  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?
    There was one conflict, in my first days here, caused by my over-reliance on WP:BOLD and influence by comments outside Wikipedia about incorrectness and bias of the article in question. I attempted two edits to the article and, as both were reverted, engaged in debates on the talk page, which turned out to be going about that particular issue for all the article's life. Failing to gain consensus on the talk page, I did no more major edits to the article. Since then, I maintain a rule of never touching an article before reading its talk page, and adhere to WP:1RR after editing.
    Today one of my primary activities in Wikipedia is conflict resolution, as a mediator in the [[WP:MEDCAB|Mediation Cabal], participant in the Wikipedia Neutrality Project, and just by informally discussing matters and proposing solutions wherever I see conflicts. In the future, I am going to continue this activity. Considering conflicts, I prefer to doubt my position if I can't present solid justification for it, and will rely on mediation and outside opinions if I happen to become a party in some conflict in the future.
