Wikipedia:Editor review/Citicat

Citicat

Citicat (talk · contribs) I seem to have become very attached to the idea of working to improve the project lately. I'm happy with what I've done (although I may need to start using the Wikipatch before too long), but would be glad of any advice the more experienced could impart upon me Citicat 04:46, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Reviews

• I'm not the most experienced editor, but I must say that I am absolutely impressed by your work on Wikipedia so far. You have a great number of mainspace edits, and you have done a great service to Wikipedia with your vandal fighting. You have a great user page (nice cats) without spending the majority of your edits on it, and you've edited a great variety of articles. You also have a diverse range of Wikipedia activities on your resume already, everything from vandal fighting (and all the attendant activities for that pursuit to be successful), to meaningful contributions in content and discussions. The best advice I can think to give is keep up the good work! Verkhovensky 17:15, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Questions

1. Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?

   It may not be the most import article, but I have a fondness for the Louis Klotz page I started, he's a real interesting guy. Here's weird little one; I came across this article which had been recently created by someone with limited English and was about to be speedied, and I cleaned it up a bit. Even though it's just a stub, it lives on.

3. 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 had a little conflict recently over the Fetus article with a editor whom I felt was editing in bad faith, in that he was trying to change that article to influence people to support his point of view on abortion rather than improve the article. I had tagged the article for {neutrality}, which he removed. I entered a request for comment[1] and engaged in a debate which resulted in a compromise on one section. Feeling I had accomplished as much as I could without devoting most of my time to this one article, I backed away at that point. As for the future, I feel the important thing is to remember that whatever I might do is only a drop of water in the ocean (well, lake maybe), and that even if I can't accomplish every task that goes through my head, it won't bring down the internet
