Questions

1. What are your primary contributions to Wikipedia? Are there any about which you are particularly pleased? Why?

   I'm mostly a recent changes patroller, fighting vandalism, reviewing new pages and general maintenance. Often I get involved with AfC, AfC, RfA and more. I'm pleased with my work at the Teahouse because I think helping users in a friendly way is a great thing to do, and doing that makes me feel positive and happy.

2. Have you been in editing disputes 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? If you have never been in an editing dispute, explain how you would respond to one.

   No, once I got into a "revert war" in which I reverted vandalism and the user who vandalized reverted my revert then it went back and forth, then later I reported the user to AIAV and it stopped.

3. What do you want to get out of this editor review? Are you thinking of running for adminship? Would you like feedback on a specific area of your editing? Or would you just like a general review of your edits?

   I just want to get feedback from peers, getting that feedback will help me become a better editor. I'm thinking of running for adminship, probably on the next 2 years, when I get more edits, content creation, participate in more discussions and show I could become a good editor. General feedback and review is always welcomed but is optional.

Reviews

First off let me just say I have only been a Wikipedian for a few months now so you have a lot more experience than me in handling affairs. I am judging my criteria of a good editor based on the WP:Civility as mentioned above for reviewing editors. If any of this feels improper or incorrect, let me know and I will try to clarify or reevaluate.

I looked at your talk page and surprisingly the criteria I am evaluating on is pasted right there: things including be polite, welcome new users, assume good faith, avoid personal attacks, and seek dispute resolution. I feel you have a strong understanding of what it means to be a Wikipedian and at the very minimum, you do a great job of spreading it. I have only looked at a handful of your edits and a majority of your recent edits have dealt with article creation and helping out at the Teahouse. I love how you sandbox edits before actually committing them (I feel all Wikipedians should do this so they don't clog up revision history) and the way you go about handling vandalism is polite and spot-on (such as here and here). Overall, I feel you have done a great job in terms of edits. I will say I did look at the reverts yo u did and I feel half of them you do post insightful comments but others you didn't (some of these reversions were minor but there were some where a lot of text was removed although it was obviously because of vandalism such as this one).

I looked more at your Talk page and you do a wonderful job of responding to people who have talked to you. There have been several people who have thanked you for your edits and I can completely understand why. I did find one Talk which was left hanging here and I did not find any mention of you actually responding to the user. However, this was the only instance I really found so I am uncertain if this was intentional or if it's actually an issue. You handle criticism very well as shown here which correctly aligns with many of the things mentioned before regarding Civility.

Overall, I feel you are a wonderful Wikipedian and truly deserve the utmost respect. You have done a lot for the Wikipedia community (and you have earned a handful of brownies too on your Talk page!) I really appreciate how you are welcoming to new users and you take criticism positively. I found little evidence of disputes or vandalism on your account. Keep up the great work :) Augbog (talk) 09:05, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
