Wikipedia:Editor review/Evan Robidoux 2

User:Evan_Robidoux[edit]

Evan_Robidoux (talk · contribs) Hi, I'm Evan Robidoux. I am a rather new Wikipedian who's account is about 5 or 6 months old, but I have over 900 edits. I would like to know what I may be doing wrong, where I can improve, etc.. And don't just give compliments. I need some of the harshest constructive criticism that I have ever gotten.

There are a few things that I would like you to keep in mind as you search through my contributions:

I'm worried about the incident with User:68.96.23.7. I have a feeling it may affect my "WikiFuture." Of course, if you think it was a mistake you would expect new users to fall for, please tell me.
There is a huge gap between the number of article edits and user talk edits, with article edits being the lowest of the two. I need suggestions as to how to bring the # of article edits up.
Depending on my edit count, I may try to go for an RfA in February 2007. Give me a few suggestions as to what I should do before then.

Thanks! --Evan Robidoux 15:12, 25 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You do not have to worry about this as this user is a known vandal. You were right to warn this user. --S iva1979^{Talk to me} 21:12, 25 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You really are a good-faith editor Evan, just try to kick up your edit count a bit before thinking about a nomination for adminship. I usually dont support a user who has a total edit count of at least 2,500-3,000 edits. Stats also says you average 1.95 edits a day, I'd try to pick that percentage up. Specifically, try to be more involved with process by contributing to the Wikipedia namespace more. The time factor for adminship shouldn't apply here since you've been here way over my requirements, but recently others have been hoping users have been here for a year before gaining adminship (but thats not my requirement). Hope this helps Evan. :p Cheers! — The King of Kings 23:29 June 25 '06

You are a kind user and the only const. critism I can help you with is to just edit more times per days and a bit more on articles than talk pages... but there's really not much bad to say bout you. See ya 'round, Dom thedude 0 0 1 00:37, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I see great future in you, dear Evan, and you're taking the right steps. You are polite, kind, thoughtful and you request for help and assistence often when you are not sure how to proceed. All these qualities speak highly of your actions and your intentions. My humble advice matches those given to you already; many people may see your contribution levels to be somewhat low. This is perfectly ok if you feel comfortable with it; but the community expect higher levels of involvement in potential administrators. Get more involved in Wikipedia process, like XFD, and visit RFA as many times as you can - observing what everyone expects in those applying is a good way to learn where to improve. If you need further information or guidance on any aspects of the process, you are most welcome to ask me. Good luck, dear Evan! :) Phædriel ♥ tell me - 16:24, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Questions

Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
Answer: No, not really. I haven't made any "good" edits. Of course, I probably will be buying a few books over the summer and I may use information from them to improve articles (as long as I can cite them correctly :P )
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?
Answer: I never have been in an edit conflict. I like to stop conflicts before they happen, though. If I find a statement that looked like it wasn't true, I would probably post a message on the talk page about what to do with it or ask the user who wrote it if I could change it.
